Student life

Lublin is the biggest academic city in the eastern half of Poland, with approximately 100.000 students, which means that about one-third of the city's population is students. There's number of universities, higher schools and colleges, and student's associations, i.e., Association of Animators and Culture Managers, or Computing Science Students Association. The college has plenty of room for much more student’s organizations, but it depends on students. There's an independent Students' Union in this school. The city offers number of culture events; the school's Animators and Culture Managers Association takes part in efforts to get the title of European Capital of Culture in 2016 for Lublin.

Many academic conferences, especially in the subject of economics and regional development, are organized in WSEI.
