"Don't be afraid of new challenges:"
Seven years ago, I started working at the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences in Görlitz. For the first few years, this city was primarily associated with work and new professional challenges. I lived between two worlds – I associated Wrocław with my private life and Görlitz with my professional life. To be honest, I couldn't imagine moving away from a big city. But slowly, Görlitz grew on me – through the people I met here who are now friends, and through the city's charming atmosphere with its history and unique cityscape. Being able to walk to work through an old town and parks was a completely new experience. I can say that I've settled down in Görlitz

"As a student, you can definitely experience something here. There's enough going on, but just enough that you don't neglect your studies."
