Politechnika Wrocławska is one of the best universities in Europe for studying medicinal chemistry. The curriculum is designed to prepare students for a career in academic research or in the pharmaceutical industry. I got to learn and try many spectroscopic techniques in just one semester. The learning environment encourages collaboration instead of cutthroat competition. Professors are reasonable and can speak good English. One difficulty I encountered was accommodation since we were not guaranteed places in the dormitory after the first semester. Biggest challenge about studying in Wrocław is the language barrier since not many Polish people can speak English. However, the city is very relaxing and the transportation system is excellent.
