Would you recommend it?
I recommend this apartment, even if there are cheaper options. It’s an Erasmus house split into two flats, with three Erasmus students in each flat. Most of the parties take place in our apartment, which is really fun, and we also have an amazing view of the entire city.
🍻 Social Life
What are some top bars, clubs, or events you recommend?
Sarajevo may not be the most exciting European city at night, but it’s still a great place to enjoy time with friends. ESN Sarajevo organizes many events during the semester, and the city offers a variety of museums and delicious local cuisine to discover.
🎓 Uni life at University of Sarajevo
Which classes do you recommend… or not?
I recommend to take the Middle East and the Comparative Democratisation and Authoritarian classes. These two are my favorites.
Do you have some tips?
Tbh I dont have a lot of class which can be good for some people, but the only thing is that Erasmus students are sometimes a little left out. But otherwise, I like it.
