I know questions like this have been asked a million times, but I’d really appreciate it if you could share your insights <33

First of all, I know that many "foreign students" study at private Polish universities like Vizja (or other private schools) just to "buy" a diploma. But I want to make it clear I am not one of them, and I don’t want to be treated as such.

Poland has had a special place in my heart since I was 12. I grew up reading The Witcher books by Andrzej Sapkowski and playing The Witcher 2 and The Witcher 3. And when Cyberpunk, one of my favorite sci-fi universes by Mike Pondsmith, was brought to life by cd projekt red, it made me even more passionate about Poland. Since childhood, one of my biggest dreams has been to work at cdpr, and I still hope to achieve that one day.

I’m a self-taught programmer, and I’ve been coding since I was 12-13. I know four programming languages, and I’ve built some serious projects like my own social networking platform (a Discord-like real-time chat app), a game engine from scratch in C++, UE5 video games, and more. So, I actually have quite a portfolio.

That’s why I want to study at a respectable Polish university, where I can grow, learn from others, help others improve, and connect with like-minded people.

I know this might sound "cheesy," but I truly don’t see myself as just another "foreign student" looking for an easy degree. I want to immerse myself in Polish culture, learn as much Polish as I can, and develop my skills or even contribute to Poland in the future if possible.

my questions:

Is it possible for me to get into a public university or a well-respected private university in Poland

What should I expect from university life in Poland

Do you have any advice or experiences to share?

Thanks for reading
Dziekuje <3<33
