I have some questions for American (or Canadian) students who are currently studying in Poland. This is an incomplete list, but I was hoping some of these could be answered.
1. What about banking? I was thinking about opening an account with Deutschebank, since there are branches here in the States as well as Poland (at least as far as I can tell from their website), would this be a decent idea?
2. What about cell phones? Are the plans there compatible with the phones sold here, or would I have to buy a new phone there? How much, on average, do you spend per month on your phone bill?
3. What is the food situation like in the dorms? I know there is a kitchen, but do people usually cook or go out to eat? How much money per month should I allocate for food?
4. Where can you go to work out (gyms)?
5. What are you doing for health insurance?
6. What about prescription medications? Should I try to bring a years supply?
Anyway, I know this was a lot of questions, but I am just trying to plan and organize, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

these are GREAT questions...hope somone can help us.....

I just wanted to apologize to everyone for the fact that somehow the op in this thread showed up 2X as two different threads! Still, if anyone can answer any of these questions, I would greatly appreciate it.

1. That would be a good idea. Citi Bank is another option.
2. Pay as you go with a sim card. Not that expensive if you like texting.
3. Don't know what the situation at the dorms are. I think it's one kitchen per floor. There is a grocery store just around the corner from the dorms.
4. A few places, but Olymp seems to be popular among students. Centrum Fitness Olymp
5. I think students are paying 30Zl per month. Not sure, but the school will let you know what it is you need to do. Good Luck!

Thank you for answering these. It really helps to get an idea of what to expect to encounter in day to day life!

Hi. If you already are a doctor and now you want to do the specialisation in Poland, first of all you must know Polish. There is no possibility of working as a doctor without knowing the language. Second - a specialisation is a work so you don't pay for it, you get a salary - usually 1150 zl a month - which is 400 $ a month. There is also a possibility in Poland to do the specialisation as a volunteer - you work for free. And first of all - to get to the residency in cardiology or any other specialisation you must pass the LEP - physicians state exam - and depending how many points you will get from this exam, these are the chances of getting the place. The specialisation in cardiology lasts 5 years.
