My roomate found it
Would you recommend it?
I loved Bratislava because its a city where you can do everything by foot. It's not a big city but it has everything you need: there's the old town which is very cute, there are big shopping malls. It's not an expensive city, the price of one pint of beer is 2,5. And the best thing is that you have lots of other capitals near that you can visit just by taking a flixbus (Budapest, Vienna, Zagreb, Prague, Krakow...).
🍻 Social Life
What are some top bars, clubs, or events you recommend?
The goodzone (lots of students go there), then when it closes you can go the Starter bar (lots of students too) and it closes late. There are bars in the old town but it's usually more expensive. For the clubs there's Wax2, sometimes there's a club open on a barge ("peniche"), the šafko club... Also, at the beginning of the year there are lots of events organized by ESN (Erasmus Student Network) so don't miss out.
🎓 Uni life at EUBA
Which classes do you recommend… or not?
Economic Policy, Accounting are pretty easy if you already have basics in those courses. DON'T take Quantitative Methods, Taxation or Operations Research.
Do you have some tips?
The campus is very big, registration was pretty easy. At the start of the year you can change your courses as many times as you want (there's still a deadline), so when you choose your courses in june you can still change them when you arrive. I like my university but Comenius is pretty nice too (my roomate only has classes monday and tuesday).
✈️ Travel
Best trips to do?
Just with flixbus you can go to a lot of cities : Budapest, Prague, Vienna, Zagreb, Krakow. Check ryanair too, sometimes you have very very cheap flights.
🌆 Bratislava vibe
What do you absolutely need to know to live your best life in Bratislava?
For transportation you can buy a travel card just for 50 euros for three months. You can use trams and buses. It's a very safe city, you can walk home at 4 in the morning no one will bother you.
