🌵 About me :
I'm Amina, a 24-year-old (soon 25 on December 6th) Algerian girl who lives now in a small town in Poland called Nasielsk. My channel is all about my life as a foreigner and traveling at a low cost - above all, I try to live to take care of myself holistically and care about the earth I am on. Hopefully, that is something that we can share together!

Thanks for this great video. I am about to make the decision to go there, and as any foreigner , I would not forget to ask about how much expensive if life in Poland.
Today I have a comfortable life in my country, but I still save money when possible, and doing it in other country would not be a problem for me, but yet I am not sure.
Here is my question. Do you think that a Ph.D. scholarship (around 2300 PLN) is enough for two people, living in the uni dorms at first? I am aware that if it does, then we should have a very simple life without much expenses, only the necessary, right? Your video was really detailed, but what do you say?
Othe thing. Is the insurance you mention a health insurance?
Thanks a lot
Hi Humberto!
Thank you for commenting.
Is the scholarship allowance amount is for both or per each one of you?
I would say that it will be tight if it is for both of you. But easily you can catch up that gap by tutoring or babysitting or other creative stuff.
About the insurance. It is health insurance. Which obligatory for all foreigners to have. Pzu is the one I used in the past and I guess the most convenient one.
I hope my answers help.
Cheers
@@aminalucid Hi, of course your answers are of much help and very valuable for me. It is good to hear from someone experiencing life there.
The university does not describe if it is for one or both.
But I was reading the website and the accomodation fee would be around PNL 560 (460 for the student and 100 for the dependent, in this case my wife).
Then I plan PLN 600 for food, I don't mind cooking, I do it here all the time and we do not waste. Of course , Once in a while we go out.
PLN 100 for mobile phone plus PLN 100 for transportation and PLN 200 for the insurance.
I know I am a bit optimist here, and this estimate might not go like I plan.
That would sum up to PLN 1560, with a saving of nearly PLN 740. I am not taking into consideration clothing and medication, for example, but it depends.
Do you think I forgot anything that would fall into the basic needs? Once again, thank you so much for taking your time
For the insurance it is not monthly (luckily) for one person it starts from 300 zlotys. And it covers medications prescribed by the doctor.
For mobile phone I would say 30/30 A month so for both of you 60 zlotys .
Transportation if you get the card 50 zlotys per month (If you buy the 3 months one)
400euro total living costs
This is really helpful! Thanks!

I like the segment at the end I can relate to that, starting with debt and having much higher university expenses than previously calculated messed up my plan and made the struggle a bit longer than few months :p but keeping a goal in mind and not losing perspective is the key to overcome the bumps on the road. Good luck to everyone watching ^^
If I may say You made it!

In Baku, as a student I spent around 500 manat, which is about 1150 zloty. I hope in Warsaw it is almost the same) So, let's listen the video.
In Warsaw you can expect a bit more if you have rent right in the center ... I hope you will like Warsaw
Hello mam is it any interview for Poland student visa from Indians because my consultancy said to me there is no visa interview ???

How would contact u need a room in warsaw as astudent
💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
Aside from Warsaw university of technology, which other university can someone do a masters in electrical and electronics engineering degree at a more affordable price and which city will be nice and cheaper?
I do not know really as I did not study this field. You will need to do some research and compare prices.
Good luck
Hey I’m trying to get into Warsaw or Wrocław university but I have 1 n half year study gap in between my degree so I’m a little skeptical about it as to will I get accepted or no? as they are top ranking universities…what do u think will it be a barrier for me?and can u suggest me other public universities which i should consider where I have higher chances of getting accepted?im an international student by the way
hmm, gap year can be explained by wanting to know what you like, you will be asked to tell what where you doing during that gap year, and it is not uncommon
other universities i cannot really tell which one have higher chances, sorry.
Please can you link all the accommodations you stayed? Especially the first share of 600 pln
Hello. Really it was posted in a facebook group of warsaw expat or warsaw accommodation. And it was by a natural person not a company.
Can i know all dormitories listed in Warsaw university of technology website looks like same? Can i know where i can get more details like photos and facility description? I have issues with finding accommodation for me
When u get the final acceptance letter,u will get access to the dormitory section in the online application platform.
Is it possible to just book my accommodation for 1-2 weeks in Poland in a hostel? I am applying for a student visa long term and renting apartments requires a lot of fees when just booking and can only send back the deposits if visa is rejected. So, I was thinking to rent for some hostels and look for an apartment once I am already there. Will it be possible or is it too risky? Can't I just explain it? Also, who knows about the system of Poland student visa. Thank you.
Hi. Are you coming for studies? Usually universities provide you with a proof reservatjon of a room in a dorm. And usually it is without a fee.
I advise you to check it out
about $1000 US
hi. are landlords strict on how many people can live in a flat?.
Oh yeah, you can have guests overnight, but if that person lives there and is not on the contract, the landlord can terminate your contract or charge you more.
So before signing the lease you agree with him how many people would be and they need as well to be mentioned on the lease.

Rents in Gdansk are way way way expensive than in warsaw i don't know why... even for a sharing flat the minimum is 1000 pln. My monthly expenses in gdansk are more than 2000 :( probably i'm just spending too much on unnecessary things like starbucks coffee or eating out a lot :D
good god! that is a lot, has it always been that way; or recently like that?
I have never ever bought anything from, Starbucks or any coffee shop until now 4 years here x)
@@aminalucid ahaha I kinda spend recklessly so probably that’s the reason. I used to spend even more but I did cut lot of unnecessary things so I’m kinda good now. But your video kinda made me want to be more cautious about spendings.
Please i just want to know where is the differences between life in warsaw and poznan i want to study in warsaw but they told me that warsaw is so expensive 😔
Transportation and accommodation is cheaper. But before deciding look at if it is possible to find a job there for a foreigner like you with same qualifications in poznan. If yes go for it
@@aminalucid getting master degree in poland and moving to Germany for work,is that possible for non European student?
Totally
warsaw is not expensive actually, gdansk is more expensive.
What insurance do you use please ?
Hi!
Really any cheapest option. At first we were Axa then second year we changed we do not even know the company name hahaha
We do not really care who is the provider.
We just use the insurance comparator websites. And choose the best for this year.
I hope this is helpful. Let me know if you have any more questions.
@@aminalucid ty !! your videos are really helpful & well made btw, thanks again !!
No you're not masmar 🤣 just you're a student and you should not be expensive in your shopping, I understand you
