Visiting Students
The University of Economics is becoming a popular destination for exchange students from all over the world. Over 230 students come to Prague each semester. Its Buddy System assigns each incoming student a Czech-speaking buddy for the length of their stay. Most incoming exchange students choose to live in the University dormitories Jarov (located about 15 minutes from the campus) and have lunch and/or dinner in the new school cafeteria. In 2005, a new International Learning Center was established as part of the newly-built building. Courses are offered in Czech, English, German, French and Russian.
Both the university and the city offer a number of cultural events, most of which are easily accessible for students.

Famous quotes containing the words visiting and/or students:
“Mrs. Sneed and her daughter, Miss Austine Sneed, are visiting us—Washington correspondents of excellent character.... We are much interested in their accounts of Washington affairs. Nothing could be further from our desire than to return to Washington and again enter its whirl, either socially or politically, but we are interested in seeing Washington with the roof off.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“President Lowell of Harvard appealed to students ‘to prepare themselves for such services as the Governor may call upon them to render.’ Dean Greenough organized an ‘emergency committee,’ and Coach Fisher was reported by the press as having declared, ‘To hell with football if men are needed.’”
—For the State of Massachusetts, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
