Program Sites:
Torun Torun is a beautiful medieval city located in northern Poland. The city is filled with quaint cobblestone streets winding around the ruins of a 13th-century castle built by the Teutonic Knights. Because of its architectural variety and beauty, Torun was added to UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 1997. It is also famous for being the birthplace and childhood home of the renowned astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus.
Warsaw - With a population of more 1.7 million people, Warsaw is an ideal location for students who like the big city life. It became the countrys capital in 1596 when King Zygmunt III moved the royal residence there from Krakow. Since then Warsaw has witnessed many hardships (it was almost completely destroyed during WW II), but it has emerged as a cosmopolitan city and the business center of the country. Here you can find modern architecture juxtaposed with carefully-restored palaces and castles. The city boasts a beautiful Old Town and many theaters, museums, monuments, restaurants, and parks. And since it is home to a number of large universities, there are plenty of college students to meet and socialize with.
