Our study tour is hosted by Jagilleonian University, the number one university in Poland. Actually, I was told they are tied with Warsaw but they are best in my opinion. The university was founded in 1364 which makes Fordham University a baby in comparison (this was a quote from a dean speaking to Bozena). The university was established by King Kazmierz, who was known for modernizing the city from wood to stone. He would certainly be proud of how modern it is today.
Here is a look at the beautiful Collegium Novum. It's an administration and special events building.
There was no space available around the original campus for expansion of the university, so another modern campus was built on the outskirts of town. The newer campus contains modern glass buildings and is connected to the city by a tram. Lack of space for expansion is a problem for American universities too.
