There is also a TV room, where students can hang out (watch tv, play games and do other group activities). In summer they can also borrow grill. Summer storage room If you are staying in the Czech Republic over the summer, the dormitory council is allowing students to use a summer storage room, where you can store your belongings which you don’t wish to take home and have no use for over the course of summer.

Differently to dormitories in Jižní Město everyone must take their trash out themselves. There were collective, separate bins for plastics, paper and glass in every hallway, they were against the safety regulations. Now days everyone must take their trash outside to the big trash containers. Where are the containers? They are by the main entrance of dormitory Jarov I.D. Considering the effects that recycling has on the environment we would like to urge everyone to sort their trash and put it in respective trash containers. How to recycle? For those of you who have not experienced recycling. There are five basic containers, for each type of trash. They are usually easily discernible by color as shown below. Each color represents the type of trash: Plastics Paper Glass Drink containers (special type of paper) Communal waste (other trash) More details can be found online. 18 Free time What to do in free time? Sport - outside Playfield behind the dormitories Three playfields are open at all times unless there is a special training. Thanks to the installed lights it’s possible to play from 08:00am to 10:00pm. Field reservation is made at reception in the nearby VŠE building. Few basketballs and footballs can be borrowed at the reception of dormitory Jarov I.D. The field can be used for other sport related activities also. Inline skating In case you are a fan roller-skating there are a lot of options to choose from. One which is very close to the dormitory is at the station Krejcárek, where you can go to inline designated trail. In case you want to experience more scenic, longer and more difficult trail, go and visit the trail close to the Prague Zoo. You can start in Trója or Podolí in direction of Zbraslav. Jogging If jogging is what you like there are several options you can choose from. Many students choose to run in the parks close to school such as Vítkovský park (very nice view of Prague) or Malešický park. In case you want to go farther and into bigger parks try Stromovka, Letná or Ladronka. 19 Walking If walking is what you like and prefer, there are even more options. You can of course pick from any of the above locations. If you prefer something more romantic visit Petřín and the close by areas with small waterfall. Or visit the Prague Zoo or Botanical garden and their surroundings, which are very nice in all seasons of the year (winter included). Sport - inside Courts Closes courts to Jarov are Na Balkáně, in case you don’t have a car you have to walk, its not very far though. You can play badminton or tennis. Other courts can be found on the way to school on Olšanské náměstí (square) in hotel Olšanka, it is right across the public transport station. Other courts are close to the Malešický Park. Fitness If fitness and going to gym is what you prefer, you are in luck. There is a large amount of gyms around the dormitories. For these I would suggest using Google and looking through the websites / pictures until you find something you like. The closest gym is http://www.energyfitnesspraha.cz/. If you wish to work out in a group we would suggest going to the studio Euforia, which is by the O2 building on the way to school. 20 Swimming There aren’t many swimming pools in the area. Well to be exact only one. It is on Pražačka (http://www.prazacka.cz/). If you really enjoy swimming we would suggest visiting Podolí, Šutka or the swimming pool in Výstaviště Holešovice (Expo Holešovice), which is cheapest. Culture Czech Republic has rich cultural history and Prague being its center is possible the best place to experience the Czech culture, although mixed with others. Saying this there is not many options near to the dormitories, not counting the nearby restaurants, which there are many of. Nonetheless we have to mention among students very popular cinema Aero, located close to the station Biskupcova, it is not your usual cinema, but i suggest you try it at least once. There is a lot of modern multiplex cinemas around Prague, closest one is probably the cinema Flora. There is countless amount of other things you can do in Prague. Visiting one of the many theaters, expos, concerts, parties, museums or just going sightseeing is great way of spending some of your time here in Prague. There are few websites that will help you find out what you can do in Prague. http://www.cokdyvpraze.cz/ http://goout.cz/cs/ http://www.zakulturou.cz 21 You can also experience the culture thanks to the cultural program of VŠE and its students. There are few clubs for example the VŠE Film club, group Musica Oeconomica Pragensis, ESN VŠE PRAHA Buddy System or Business IT club. 22 Restaurants, bars, clubs Club restaurant Juve Juve is bar located in the area of Jarov I. In block B. Clientele of this club given the location are mostly students Czech and foreign. Bar is very loud, so if you want to have a beer & some food this is not a great place to go to. Nonetheless if loud environments and a lot of students is what you like than this place is the place for you. In warm weather there is also an outside area. Entrance is from the street Koněvova. Opening hours: Sunday – Friday: 3:00pm – 2:00am Saturday: 5:00pm – 2:00am Restaurant U Študáka If you enjoy restaurants and bars that are not so loud as Juve, this is great place to visit, you can also have reasonably priced lunch menu, in case you don’t want to cook. The name (u študáka = students restaurant) suggests that it’s mainly a student’s bar, it is not. You won’t find many students here. Most of the guests are locals, some people might find that enjoyable. There is also, much like in Juve an outside part of this restaurant (in warm weather). 23 Restaurace se nachází v blízkosti tramvajové zastávky Strážní. Restaurant is close to the tram station Strážní. Opening hours: Monday – Friday: 10:00am – 11:00pm Saturday - Sunday: 11:00am – 11:00pm Restaurant U Lampiček This restaurant is very quiet; it is easily recognizable by the 1000l aquarium inside the restaurant. It is much quieter than both previously mentioned places. It is great place for a date or just for an quiet enjoyable dinner. Restaurant is close to the tram station Strážní, opposite to the restaurant U Študáka. Opening hours: Monday – Friday: 10:00am – 11:00pm Saturday - Sunday: 12:00am – 11:00pm Nová Chmelnice If drinking, dancing and having fun is what you are looking for, this is the place. Music club Nová Chmelnice is not regularly open, its dependent on the scheduled events. List of events is announced on their website. Most of the events is rock, metal or punk themed. Occasionally there is proper, student’s favorite party called Nation 2 Nation (which as name suggest is meant to have 24 students from different countries meet up and have fun). Website: http://www.novachmelnice.cz/ School canteen Jarov If you want to eat as cheap as possible, but you also don’t want to eat just a sandwich, you can visit the school canteens. School canteens are not limited to the main VŠE building. There are many others, one is even in the Jarov school area. Quick food (in Czech minutky) is served also. School canteen is located in a building close to the dormitory entrance of Jarov III. G. Regular food: Monday – Thursday:11:30am – 8:00pm Friday: Quick food (minutky): 11:00am – 2:15pm Monday – Thursday:2:15am – 8:00pm 25 Grocery Shopping Kaufland For a normal shopping / smart price wise shopping and you don’t mind traveling few tram stops, shopping in this store is suggested. Its similar to Walmart / Tesco and other stores. Kaufland is closeby to the bus / tram station Spojovací. Open: Monday – Sunday: 07:00am – 00:00am Lidl Lidl is alternative to Kaufland. It is smaller, similarly priced shop. Lidl is close to the tram station Ohrada. Open: Monday - Saturday: 07:00am - 9:00pm Sunday: 09:00am - 9:00pm 26 Deli If you don’t want to use public transport and want to do some smaller shopping (smaller choice of goods and higher prices) you can visit the Deli shop opposite to dormitories. You can find various spreads (cheese, garlic etc.) here and some finger food. Fresh everyday as advertised. Deli is close to the station Strážní, opposite of the dormitory buildings. Open: Monday - Sunday: 07:00am - 10:00pm Vietnamese deli Few buildings down from the Deli is a Vietnamese deli. Compared to the previously mentioned Deli they don’t sell spreads and finger food. Instead they have a lot of fresh vegetables and other various groceries. Prices are similar to deli, maybe a bit higher. Open: Monday - Sunday: 07:00am - 10:00pm Dormitory store Dormitories have own store that supplies basic groceries and hygiene products. On the other hand, when you are hungry or in need of toothpaste or other basic things and don’t have much time, or don’t want to travel far, this is the place to go to. Prices are similar to both Delis. Although you can buy discounted 27 sandwiches and baguettes, much like in any part of the school. Store is in the lobby of dormitory Jarov I. D. Open: Monday – Thursday:07:00am – 1:00pm; 5:00pm – 0:00am Friday: 07:00am – 1:00pm; 5:00pm – 11:00pm Saturday: 5:00pm – 11:00pm Sunday 5:00pm – 0:00am 28 Medical professionals There are few professionals which have special contracts with VŠE.
