I write this post in Spanish because the e-mail
of Wroclaw University is in English and I don´t want translate.
After two months waiting and seeing the air
tickets growing, last Thursday I received an e-mail of Barbara, the person who
has the responsibility of approved the learning and communicated with Erasmus student,
that it said I was admitted in University of Wroclaw for the winter semester.
I´m so happy and I could buy my Air tickets and I could top up the pdf
accepting the rules of Olowek Residence.
I transcribe the e-mail because I think It has
useful information for people in the same situation in the future and for the
people that they are waiting answer of Wroclaw University, because I think that
my learning was approved because I wrote some e-mails asking. I was a little
bit insistent.
The e-mail say:

YOUR

The cheapest way to get to the Dormitory from the Airport or from Main
Railway Station is to use a bus or a tram.
There is a very useful website which will help you in finding your way. You just need
to fill out "traveling from" (for Airport put: PORT LOTNICZY,
for main railway Station: DWORZEC G?. PKP) and "traveling to"
(address of your dormitory) fields and the program will find you
connection and time of departure.
You can of course take a taxi, the cost is around 15? or 20? from
the airport to the city centre and 5? or 10? from the main station. It is
better to ask about the price before you take a taxi just to avoid dishonest
drivers.
Public Transport.
Wroclaw has an extensive public transport
network. Unfortunately we don't have an underground, but we do have a
well-developed tramway system.
Trams do not run during the night, whereas buses run around the clock (not all
of them, of course, as there's no need for that).
Public transport

card you need to use regular fare.)
Single-trip, regular lines within city
limits (regular fare) 3,00 z?
Single-trip, express and night lines

Upon your arrival you can buy single-trip tickets in newsagents at the
Airport or at the Main Station or at bus and tram stops. You can also buy
it inside the bus and tram in the small ticket machine. After entering the bus
or the tram you must validate your ticket. Please be aware that without the
polish student Id card you need to use regular fare.
There is also a very useful website if you want to travel by train. You just need to fill
out " from" (for e.g WARSZAWA CENTRALNA - main station in
Warsaw) and " to" (WROC?AW G?ÓWNY - main station in Wroc?aw)
fields and the program will find you the best connection and the time of
departure.
