Quality of teaching in comparison with home school
:
Equal
How did you receive study materials?

By mail, or via office for foreign students. It was all well organised.

Georgian language and political systems of Europe (lecturer is a former diplomat of Georgia in the UK)

At the dormitory and later I moved to the centre of Tbilisi.

You can buy everything at the local market for ridiculously cheap prices. No need for anything.
How and how far ahead should accommodation be organised?
:
University provides a place at the dorm for foreign students, however, it is very far from the centre and the traffic is horrible. You can find a place in a shared apartment in a week. Use FB groups or Airbnb and discuss longterm stay, they can make a special discount for you.

Way cheaper than in Czechia.

Book Wizzair flight to Kutaisi and take a bus to the capital, not a flight to Tbilisi.
What are the local transport options (public transport, cycling, on foot, rough prices)
:
0,5 GEL per one way on bus or subway, valid for 90 min. Cca 0,15 EUR
No possibilities for cyclists in the city, the traffic is awful and drivers crazy. It might be too dangerous. You can get everywhere by grabbing a taxi for at maximum 10 GEL/3EUR.
