Since we all seem to be piling on about logistics here...

There seem to be several dorms. For those of use staying in them, how/when are we going to be notified of where exactly we are booked? This wasn't part of the registration confirmation.

That is good to know. I usually assume pharmacists will speak English,
almost anywhere in the world, due to the high level of education
required for the job. I don't know (and can't find - I just looked)
the statistics, but the proportion of university graduates in the
world that speak English to at least a modest standard is very high.

so I can tell you from personal experience that pharmacists here do not necessarily speak English, German or French. However I have found a pharmacy, on Szeroka which does speak some English
