Students | International Student Exchange

After three days, I dropped out of German studies at the University of Warsaw. I didn't know what I intended to do with my life. However, Law turned out to be the best choice of my life. 😊

I am very pleased with how my law studies went. It was a time full of growth, inspiration, and acquiring knowledge that today forms a solid foundation for my future career. Despite various life situations I had to face, I could always count on the understanding, support, and openness of the lecturers. Their commitment, kindness, and high standards mean that today I look back on the years spent at the university with immense gratitude. Thank you for this beautiful stage in my life; I will recommend law studies at this university with full conviction to anyone dreaming of a solid education and true development.

I am glad that I can look back on my studies with joy; I met many interesting personalities here. I will miss this time.

Full-time Law was a large major, yet we still managed to integrate a group of 80 people. There was never a situation where someone sat alone, and getting through these years of study was the most wonderful experience.

Not only did I find wonderful colleagues at Kozminski University, but also lecturers and staff. This is best summed up by the words of the youth from my daughter's class after a meeting organized with the Dean's Office of the Law School and Professor Michał Kowalski on the topic of civil and children's rights: "It’s impossible for such a perfect school to exist!" And yet, it does!!!😉

Law studies at Kozminski were for me an extraordinary time of intensive learning, meetings with outstanding practitioners, and participation in international Erasmus+ exchange programs. The opportunity to spend 1.5 years studying abroad realistically broadened my horizons. The development this period brought allowed me to quickly find my way in the legal environment and start working in the profession. It is an experience I will not forget for the rest of my life.

For the first months of my studies, or actually the first year of the pandemic, I was convinced that everyone in my year was completely different. Cameras were off, microphones muted, and our relationships were limited mainly to icons with profile pictures. In retrospect, I see that for four years I kept people at an unnecessary distance who turned out to be absolutely the most fantastic people I could have met. It turned out that behind those black squares with initials were people with huge hearts, brilliant humor, and an amazing talent for coping together with every possible obstacle - from tough tests to preparing group projects together in the library.

Thanks to them, this last year of studies was not just education, but a beautiful story of maturing, laughter, and a shared journey. Thank you all very much once again. It was a difficult but pleasant time. Difficult mainly due to the first two years because of the prevailing pandemic and news of the war in Ukraine, but pleasant because, despite these adversities, we managed to integrate and make friends for years to come.

It was super!!! Thank you.

Looking back at these years spent within the walls of our university, I feel, above all, immense gratitude. Law is not just paragraphs and dry definitions, but primarily the people I met here. I thank my Lecturers - for being Mentors to us, and today remaining an Inspiration and support in professional life. I thank my Friends from the group - for the joint all-nighters at the library before the session, for coffee before exams, and for the fact that despite finishing our studies, our phones still ring, and the contact remains alive. I finish this stage as a proud and happy graduate, ready for new challenges, but always remembering where it all began.

During an online exam with webcams on and audio enabled, I muted my sound because the clacking of keyboards sounded like an orchestra. In this "blissful silence," I read the questions in my head and - as is my habit - mouthed the words. On camera, it looked like secret consultations, so at question 18/24, the system blocked my test. The finale? An oral exam a day later and a lesson that on exams, "mute" + facial expressions is a comedy duo, but a poor advisor.
