  • Characteristics: education is sometimes less organized compared to the Netherlands.

Internships in Poland?

  • Characteristics: Polish companies without speaking Polish themselves can be too much of a challenge.

  • Characteristics: cool cities to spend your time and spend little.

Living in Poland?

  • Language: learning Polish is not easy. The younger Poles already speak a reasonable amount of English. Among the older ones and outside the cities, you will have to make do with Polish or German.
