Student Life
Before you enroll in your 1st year of studies, you will have to go to the study administration office, the dormitory administration, and fill out official forms (e.g., application for an ISIC card, registering as a student residing at the Halls of Residence/Dormitories, etc.). One of the advantages of the CULS campus is that all Faculties, Halls of Residence, Sports Centre, etc. are situated in one place. First and second-year students are involved in sports activities organized by the CULS Department of Physical Education (DPE). These include traditional sports, such as swimming, aerobics in its various forms, bodybuilding, volleyball, basketball, football, and floorball. Students can also take part in other sporting disciplines, according to their choice. Older students can participate in optional sports events.
Housing
The school offers housing on campus which is primarily used by international students. The dorms are quite basic with shared rooms and bathrooms but cost only 120 euros a month. The campus is a good way from the city center (about 30 minutes on public transportation) so the dorms are a good option to start with. Of course, rooms in private residences are often nicer in Prague and generally cost between 220-260 euros per month.

Notes
Though this is another large public university, it did not feel as overwhelming as the others. Part of this is because everything is located on one campus—even housing! The departments are fairly self-contained and the facilities are modern and extremely well maintained. I was told that some faculties are more internationalized than others and that the faculties of Economics, Forestry, Environmental Sciences, and Tropical AgriSciences are more international and student-friendly, while the others are a little more old-fashioned when it comes to their teaching and approach to internationalization. What most impressed me about this school was the joint emphasis on academics, research, and practice, which occurs both on campus in their laboratories, experimental gardens, and such, and on practice-related trips that occur within some departments.
