GSSR has very good professors who can and do teach a lot of high-quality content to their students. Yet, it has two drawbacks though. One is that the management style and the structure of the school are stuck in the 1990s. Second, it is poorly funded. This reality discourages people from participating in in research or willing to build a career in this area.

I have enjoyed some courses more than I took pleasure in others, but that is solely due to my increased interest and the preference I hold for theory, especially social and cultural, whereby my greatest pleasure must have been meeting and partaking in classes held by professor Slawomir Kapralski whom I hold in highest respect. The classes are well-ordered and organized, the material is prepared and provided, the professors are attentive, kind and prompt in their correspondence – no less is the case when it comes to the correspondence one seeks in the support that the dean or the rest of the faculty staff will be willing to provide.
