Why did you become an ambassador?  

I decided to become an ambassador primarily to help and inform current and future students of the ECON MUNI about our programs, activities and events. As well as to motivate the exchange of cultures and strengthen diversity that we have at MUNI.

 What do you love most about your studies? 

The study environment at the ECON MUNI is a big help for me. The quiet study boxes at the library, the cafeteria that is conveniently accessible in between classes, and of course, the incredible terrace.

But the best motivation I have, is the city, Brno, itself. Even though you are far from your family, you can feel at home here. You will find and attend several unique activities throughout the week and meet people whom which you will create amazing memories with.

What advice would you give to new students?  

Do not let the fear guide your life. Take adventure and risk whenever the opportunity is given. Be part of the student activities, go to the faculty meetings, meet new people. Do not be afraid to send an email to the professors or classmates. Even though the situation maybe not the best, try to learn from it. Allow yourself to be challenged, at the end of the day this is how we grow.
