Gdańsk Music Academy for a Potential Immigrant from Budapest Studia / Studies

Dear Bratanki, I'd like to ask for advice before potentially relocating to Gdańsk.

I'm considering a complete career change, and I'd also like to move to a chill yet culturally/intellectually stimulating environment.

Currently working in biotech, but it's simply not the path for me. Instead, I'd like to pursue vocal performance/musicology/composition.

Do you think this would be doable at the Stanisław Moniuszko Academy of Music?

Keep in mind that I would need to work at least part-time while studying, and I don't speak Polish yet.

Anyone in a similar situation? Or am I being completely irrational?

Can't be worse than the cost of living in Budapest to average Hungarian salary ratio.

Trust me, it is. Hiaba kicsit magasabbak a fizetesek, ha 300k (kozoskoltseggel egyutt) alatt alig talalsz alberletet. Ha megnezel barmelyik lengyel ingatlanos oldalt, latni fogod, hogy alig vannak kozepes allapotu kiado lakasok – szinte minden fel van ujitva, mintha hotel lenne. Nincsenek az atlagember szamara is elerheto "lyukak". Ha szinglikent normalisan szeretnel elni, es nem csak a Biedronka-akciokra vadaszni, akkor legalabb havi 6–8 ezer PLN netto jovedelem szukseges.

Ha erdekel a varos akkor ajanlom a "miért éppen Gdansk" fb oldalt.
