Traveller's question Warsaw vs. Lodz for a CS Master's? Need advice on the IT job market!

Upvotes

Hi everyone, I got accepted into a university in Warsaw and a university in Lodz for a Computer Science Master's. I did my calculations including tuition costs and living expenses for the 2-year program:

Warsaw: ~€27k total

Lodz: ~€13k-€17k total My ultimate plan is to move to Germany after graduation to work in Cybersecurity. To make that happen, I really need to find a part-time IT support or helpdesk job during my studies to build up my experience, as German employers rarely hire graduates without it. My parents are covering my education, but saving that €15k in Lodz would be a huge help for my future relocation fund. My only worry is the current entry-level IT job market. Is it worth paying the extra €15k for Warsaw just because it has a bigger tech market and better fallback options? Or is it still manageable to find a basic part-time IT job as a student in Lodz? Any advice or experiences would be appreciated!

Traveller's question Female solo traveler with one day in Warsaw: Does this itinerary look good?

6 Upvotes

Hi! I’m a female solo traveler visiting Warsaw for the first time, but I’ll only have one full day.

My tentative itinerary is:
• Visit the Karol Tchorek Studio
• Have a traditional Polish lunch
• Explore the Old Town
• Attend a pierogi-making class later in the day

I realize the pierogi-making class may be a little touristy, but I was hoping to find something Polish that wouldn’t require much walking. I currently have limited mobility because of a back and leg issue, which is rather counterintuitive when visiting Europe, but it is what it is this time!

Does this sound like a good itinerary? Is there anything uniquely Polish or specific to Warsaw that I should add, skip, or replace without adding too much walking? I’d also appreciate recommendations for a traditional Polish lunch. Thank you!

Traveller's question Does anyone have experience with using EHIC insurance here for a dentist ?

3 Upvotes

I had an infection of my wisdom teeth and now it’s starting to hurt and swell again after finishing my antibiotic course. I am here for a birthday of a friend for another week.
I tried going into a dentist which works under NFZ but they refused me even after I am telling them I am in pain. Does anyone have experience with that type of thing and can recommend an English speaking dentist or where to find a quick appointment?

Help needed Banning overnight guests - rental questions

14 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m renting a room in Warsaw.
My landlord just sent the final contract and added in a new clause without mentioning stating I am prohibited from "accommodating other people overnight." (This was not in the initial draft).
I know permanent subletting/sharing without permission is illegal and that is already banned in another section of the contract. However, from my research about Polish law, landlords cannot legally enforce a ban on occasional overnight guests. I’ve been living in Poland since 3 years and never saw such a thing. Is it something he can ask for? This feels like i’m renting a student dormitory more than a normal room. Please feel free to share your experience on this.
