Mentor Program:

ESN Gdańsk in terms of Mentor Program can help you during your first weeks at Gdańsk University of Technology. Mentor is a polish student who will pick you up form train station or airport and take to the students dormitory. In case of any problems at University or with some daily life questions you can contact with him. He will be your guide!

If you are our future Erasmus you have to fill in On- line Erasmus Application for Accommodation in Students Dormitory also you can contact with us via mail erasmus.gdansk@esn.pl in advance to get your personal Mentor.

Then during holidays or few weeks before your arrival at GUT you will be contacted by your Mentor.

It's important to give to your Mentor information about your arrival date also to Vice president of Erasmus Program at erasmus.gdansk@esn.pl to book your room in students dormitory.

Before coming to Gdańsk remember that you have to contact with GUT Erasmus Coordinator from your Faculty.

Erasmus Mailing Group:

During you stay you will receive invitation to erasmus.gdańsk mailing group.
It's very useful to get all important information, about parties, trips and projects. Just to know what we offer you during your stay in Gdańsk.

ESN Gdańsk web page:

ESN Gdańsk Forum

It’s the best way to communicate with all Erasmus. Also to get know and integrate with people before coming to Gdańsk.

Polish phones and erasmus phone chat

Every Erasmus will get a free pre-paid sim card from Heyah.
It means that you don't have to buy cards to use mobile phone in Poland. You will get it from us!! )))))
The only thing you will have to do it's to take off sim-lock blocked to be able to use your phone in different company then in your country.

Every Erasmus in Poland will use this free pre-paid SIM card. So if your friend is going for e.g. to Cracow he will also get this card from Heyah.
As you can imagine connections between the same company are definitely cheaper then if you call to somebody from different company.

There is also special chat - text mailing group. You send one message and all Erasmus will get it e.g. Today I have birthdays. Party in my room.
