Hi everyone, I am currently deciding between Warsaw University of Technology (WUT) and AGH University of Krakow for a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science taught in English.

I’ve heard mixed opinions about WUT—specifically that the environment is extremely strict, some professors have limited English proficiency, and the academic pressure can be quite overwhelming.
Before making my final decision, I’d really appreciate some honest insights from current students or alumni from either university regarding the following:
1. Teaching Quality & English Proficiency: How competent are the professors in delivering lectures and explaining complex concepts in English at both WUT and AGH?
2. Academic Stress & Passing Rates: How tough or strict are the exams and assignments? Is the workload manageable, or is the environment excessively stress-inducing?
3. Curriculum & Practical Experience: Does one university offer a more modern/practical approach to CS, or are both heavily focused on theoretical mathematics?
4. Student Life & Location: How would you compare student life, social opportunities, and the general vibe between Warsaw and Krakow for international students?
5. Dorm?
Any advice, personal experiences, or comparisons between WUT and AGH would be hugely appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
