Effective learning and quick assistance
My university is very diverse and has a lot of students so different cultures in the same place. I like that they try to include a lot of functions with games to help students interact and become familiar with other students. I don�t really like how at the end of the day there is still a separation between English speaking students and Polish students. I�d love to have some Polish friends as well. My classes are usually long so there are a lot of breaks in between and coffee vending machines are available which I think is great especially if you have a short attention span.

Study Experience Reflection
I really enjoyed the collaborative learning environment and the depth of the course content. Improvement could be made in providing more practical application opportunities. Overall, my study experience was enriching but could benefit from greater emphasis on real-world applications.
