  Wroclaw is located at the crossroads of the major routes of Central Europe and is only a few hours away by train from Berlin, Prague, Budapest and Vienna, as well as Minsk, Lviv and Vilnius. Wroclaw was founded in the 10th century and is one of the oldest cities in Poland with a long and rich history. In the following centuries, it was ruled at various times by the Germans, Bohemians and Prussians. The relics of the past intertwine with the present giving the city a unique, multicultural character. Nowhere else in Poland can one encounter such a mixture of nationalities, dominated mainly by active young people.

  Wroclaw is home to myriad international students. Students often cook with each other in the dorms, and the city offers students opportunities to go to the movies, dancing, shopping or sight-seeing. The city's proximity to other cities and countries also provides easy access for weekend travel, either with friends or on school-sponsored excursions.
