« back...Studying at SAN through the eyes of an Erasmus+ student - meet Elmira from Germany!
This semester, the SAN University in Warsaw is hosting a student from Germany, Elmira, who has come to us as part of the Erasmus+ programme. Elmira studies at Greifswald Universität on a daily basis and is pursuing her subjects in Management at SAN.
I'll be honest, I was skeptical about university life before coming to SAN. But that changed the moment lectures started. The location is perfect – right in the heart of Warsaw. The building's cozy, easy to navigate, and unlike those impersonal mega-lecture halls where you just feel like a number.
The professors here are genuinely approachable – they actually want to hear your opinions. They encourage open discussion, which is a definite plus. One of my teachers even said, "It's my point of view, but if you have another, it's okay – let's discuss it!" That kind of attitude is valuable.
These aren't just academics; they're people who actually work in the fields they teach. That real-world experience makes the learning more relevant.
One of the things I value most is the charisma of some of the professors. I've even taken extra classes, ones I didn't need, just because I knew I'd learn so much. If you get the chance to learn from someone like that, you have to do it. SAN makes that possible.
Plus, as a non-native speaker, I've taken subjects in both English and Polish. I appreciate that teachers and students are always willing to translate or explain things in languages I understand better. It makes me feel more confident and supported.
