Have you ever been interested how the life of an international student looks like? More exciting or scary? How does it feel to live far away from home and get an education abroad? Getting the degree in the Polish language? Is it even possible?

To answer these questions, we interview the Digital Ambassadors of Poland about their life experiences connected with being a foreign student in Poland.

Today our guest is Laura. She came to Poland from Colombia. A long way, right? While interviewing Laura, she always smiles and has fire in her eyes when talking about her studies. Laura has been living in Poland for almost 3,5 years. She has finished her engineering studies in Columbia and then applied to the Lukaszewicz scholarship. And, yes, she received it! Laura has completed the Polish language course and started her Master`s degree in Heat Engineering and Air Conditioning at the Polish university.

Hi Laura! How does your life look like in Poland after graduating from the university?
