Isabelle CATTEAU - BRNO
I'm in Erasmus at the University of Brno (Czech Republic) for one year. The city is very nice with beautiful buildings and many parks and museums.

Isabelle CATTEAU - BRNO
I'm in Erasmus at the University of Brno (Czech Republic) for one year. The city is very nice with beautiful buildings and many parks and museums. It's also easy to visit other cities around like Vienna, Prague or Bratislava. I have a total of 7 lessons of 1h40 per week. Unfortunately, due to the current health situation, I don't have face-to-face classes but online via Microsoft Teams. Most of my classes are based on a discussion between the students and the teacher, so we have to read texts to prepare the session. In some classes I also have essays to hand in or exercises to do. All the teachers use power points to make their lessons, which can be easily found. Also, the teachers are very available to answer any questions during the course or by email. We are very well supervised. The workload depends on the subjects and the weeks but overall, it's pretty good. The exams are online this year, there are several types of exams (essays to be handed in, MCQs, dissertation to be done in 2 hours and oral). Continuous assessment is not taken into account in all subjects and when it is taken into account, the final exam is still a big percentage of the grade. Concerning the budget, the daily life is less expensive than in France. For food, I spend between 20 and 25 euros per week. Restaurants and bars are very affordable. You can eat well for less than 10 euros a meal. Concerning the accommodation, there are university residences in which it is almost impossible not to find a place as an Erasmus student. On the other hand, the buildings are quite old and far from the city centre. The rooms are shared by two people with shared kitchens in some residences. The rent is about 130 euros per month. In times of confinement, the rules in the university residences have been quite strict with a curfew and a limitation of movement. You have to be careful to respect the rules because some students who did not respect the rules got kicked out of the residence. I didn't choose to go to a university residence but I am sharing with two other Erasmus students in the city centre. My rent is 350 euros/month. The transport pass costs 30 euros for 3 months but I did not take it because I live in the centre of Brno. Most of the difficulties I encountered were caused by the current health situation. However, it is still easy to meet Erasmus students but also local ones. Moreover, it is not possible to go to Brno by plane. It is possible to land in Prague or Vienna and reach Brno by train or bus. Please note that the currency is not the euro, 1 euro corresponds to about 25 Czech crowns.
