‘Tuition fees are no longer a barrier for students from Eastern Europe. From their point of view, a big advantage of private universities are well-established criteria and tuition fees, which usually don’t undergo major changes in the course of studies, contrary to those in their countries of origin’, says ‘Teraz WrocÅ‚aw’ project coordinator, AÅ‚Å‚a Witkwicka-Dudek.
‘Paying for studies and place in halls of residence, foreign students expect good offer from the university: most often it’s education in English and comfortable lodging.’
