What do we really mean when we talk about the “student experience” working hard and achieving qualifications form the core purpose of going to university University is a place for making lifelong friends – whether in classes themselves Young people thrown together by pure chance often end up forming deep connections that will last the rest of their lives creating facilities that set high standards for the Czech higher education sector the university is becoming an increasingly attractive location for foreign students seeking connections and comfort in their new Czech community they’ll find a friendly community of foreign students navigating their way through studies in Czechia side-by-side especially if you’re a foreign student.” She adds that “dormitories are good places to meet other students; quite quickly a feeling of solidarity emerges among foreign students.” Fellow student Luana Cunha agrees: “If you are willing to meet new people and make connections You’ll be placed with roommates with whom you can share experiences and cultural backgrounds – students from the same region are usually put together so you can meet and connect with people from all over the world.” This does much to enhance students' “cultural sensitivity” The dorms already get glowing reviews from students The university has committed to further major developments including an outdoor sports field and surrounding amenities students perceive the social impact and personal development of sharing mutual academic and life experiences with their roommates very positively these roommates become lifelong friends or partners.” Bursar Klicnar adds that “over the past six years the university has invested CZK 50 million in the renovation of the dormitories The planned redevelopment of the sports field and adjacent areas will cost us an additional CZK 80 million.” The dorms provide full-time student accommodation as well as hotel-style options for students needing one-off or irregular accommodation UHK student Linda Luna Aldana Teran describes the Palach dorms as “a meeting point for Czech and international students UHK welcomes hundreds of international students every semester “If you’re accommodated there for a long time you become close to your roommates and get to learn about them and their culture There are lots of opportunities to meet other students throughout the dorm It’s a sociable environment; Linda adds that students “like to organize gatherings in their flats This is one of the aspects I liked most about being there and something you wouldn’t get to experience if you’re a student living outside the dorms.” Rooms are typically shared with one or two other students and are described as “spacious” by Linda Students praise the appearance and cleanliness of the dorms post-renovation – Luana describes them as “really comfortable and a place I could call home after just a few weeks.” While living check-by-jowl with other students “doesn’t provide much privacy or alone time this is something you can adapt to over time,” she says Continuous investment into the dorms is key to creating numerous opportunities to study and work on individual pursuits Such spaces help unlock the academic success which students strive to achieve “The quality and cost of housing provided at university dormitories is a deciding factor when choosing a university students assess aspects such as the comfort and modern design of accommodation proximity to the city center and to the university and financial and time savings compared to renting or commuting from home,” explains Bursar Klicnar Studying here saves students tens of thousands of crowns per year compared to dorms at other universities “The quality of housing has a significant impact on overall satisfaction and academic success,” Bursar Klicnar concludes It’s clear that forthcoming developments at UHK’s Palach dorms will only boost the university’s popularity among foreign and Czech students alike A teenaged attacker killed two women with a knife in a shopping centre in the Czech city of Hradec Kralove on Thursday before being detained shortly afterwards Police were investigating the

the situation was under control and there was no danger to the public No other details were immediately available cities across Czechia have decided to adopt quieter ways to celebrate the arrival of 2025 Many municipalities have chosen to replace traditional fireworks with drones responding to concerns about noise pollution and the environment Prague City Hall has decided once again not to hold fireworks or pyrotechnic displays in the city center The decision highlights the importance of protecting animals and preserving historical sites The ban covers pyrotechnics in the city center For those seeking official fireworks displays cities and towns surrounding Prague offer alternatives and Nymburk in Central Bohemia will continue with traditional fireworks will debut a drone show with animations and music on Jan the region will feature one of the few remaining traditional fireworks shows Hradec Králové will present a musical show instead of fireworks The shift away from fireworks is most noticeable in the Karlovy Vary region where most cities stopped organizing firework displays years ago private firecracker sales by visitors from Germany have made fireworks more of a nuisance with many setting off their own displays outside the city The Pilsen region will offer a mix of fireworks with cities like Pilsen and Přeštice planning quieter versions of their usual displays towns like Jindřichův Hradec are preparing "pyromusicals"—fireworks paired with music that are gentler on the ears Strakonice will hold a traditional fireworks show several towns are resuming fireworks after a break the displays will be more modest than in previous years The Pardubice region will feature quieter pyrotechnics in towns like Chrudim and Ústí nad Orlicí while Přelouč will continue its traditional fireworks only Znojmo and Břeclav will host fireworks New Year's fireworks will be extended by five minutes with part of the display using silent pyrotechnics for the first time Karviná and Nový Jičín will host traditional fireworks Czech police near a police cordon in front of an Action discount shop in Hradec Kralove where in the morning a teenager killed two women in a knife
