The worst school

If you have the option to study in Poland, then do not enroll in this school. This school has been a pain for many international students. They are an unorganized institution, and I do not even want to start explaining why they are already on the probationary list with the Polish government. Instead of providing higher education services to students, they tend to focus more on earning money from them rather than delivering high-quality education. You would be better off studying at other universities instead of this one. They have changed their name; it is now Powiślańska Akademia Nauk Stosowanych.
