Scholarship to study in Poland
I am Chandra from India, I won a Polish government scholarship to study Electrical Engineering at Warsaw University of Technology in Poland. last year. I arrived in Poland last September to start my graduate studies. This was the first time to travel to Poland and i was excited by the prospect of experiencing Polish culture. A referral from a friend got me the cheapest ticket to Poland. I searched the referred site and the ticket to Poland was on a 5% off for any ticket bought. LOT Polish Airlines had the cheapest ticket compared to other airlines. I didn't need a visa, only a valid passport, air ticket and accommodation ticket were required by the immigration. Few days later, I was on Polish Airline flight to Poland. The travel experience was brilliant and i will be travelling to India for holidays and i will certainly purchase a Polish ticket.
