            There are a number of big decisions that you have to make when becoming a university stude

            so than what type of university you’re going to study at, city based or campus based. This

            life at both.

            It also helps that all the student halls and accommodation is a maximum of 10 minutes away

            need to use the library late into the evenings. Something that could be a problem if you a
            based university…

            Now what Charles University offers is a city based university with many faculty buildings

            Being in the heart of the city encourages you to engage in the culture and to explore the 
            scale; this could be especially rewarding if you aren’t from Prague and don’t know anythin

            Whilst campus based students might sometimes have to make do with what is around them, cit
            have a wealth of options all around, especially if you are looking for somewhere to eat or
            evenings or if you require something specific from cheaper shops like clothing or utilitie

            A disadvantage of a campus based university could be that you don’t necessarily have to ex

            something that will almost definitely save you a lot of money over an academic year.
