Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek - UNIOS (reviews)

A great college town experience with approachable professors, gives you a classic tight-knit university experience. The city of Osijek completely revolves around student life, making it a fantastic place to live and learn. Highly recommend!

I study at the Faculty of Economics in Osijek at the JJ strossmayer University. I am currently in my first year of graduation. I believe that a lot can be achieved if you stand out from the crowd. The subjects are okay, but too much theoretical knowledge. One professor I know is the only one who teaches us in a different way, while the others teach classical theory. There are many student associations, so everyone can find something for themselves. I wouldn’t say that Osijek is a city for international students, I know that about 70 come every semester through Erasmus, and of course all the others who come through another program. As for the social life, I think there is something for everyone. All in all, I’m satisfied, but nothing special.

I study at Faculty of Economics in Osijek. I will be honest and say that I didn’t have any expectations about the faculty itself. Now, I am doing my master there. I would say I am not happy nor disappointed about the faculty. In general, professors are nice and they try to help you if you don’t understand something, but of course that there are also not so good ones. I am sad that we are not that informed about opportunities for internships or extra activities. And also, 95% of time it’s only theoretical knowledge, without knowing how to “put it into action“.
There are a lot of student organizations, so I think anyone can find something that would fit their needs. Besides the ones at the faculty, you can also join in a lot of different student organizations that are part of the university itself.

I liked attending J.J. Strossmayer University, primarily because it is located in a student city. City is vibrant and youthful, and I feel like I am surrounded by people who share my interests and passions. There is a lot of things to do outside of classes.

Another great aspect of my university is the large number of student organizations available. These organizations allowed me to pursue my hobbies and interests, meet new people, and develop skills that will help me both personally and professionally.

I do have some concerns about the classes at my university. I feel that some of the classes could be more engaging and challenging.There isn’t a lot of hands on classes, it’s mostly theory.
