Quiz Night 3: The Quizziest Night of the Year
13. 12. 2018 Author: Cassandre Devos, Romana Vančáková On 5th December, 2018 there was yet another Quiz Night organised by the Foreign Languages Department and the Foreign Department. As usual the event was very enjoyable and some students even got quite competitive. Here are a few words about the evening written by one of our Erasmus students from France. The photos also picture the overall positive atmosphere throughout the evening.The Quiz Night organized by Metropolitan University Prague on Wednesday, 5th of December was a really fun evening. First of all, I would like to thank those who organized this event, which I really enjoyed. Indeed, it has brought us all together, foreign students, regular students, professors and staff in a good atmosphere where we all shared our knowledge. At first, when I arrived, I was able to have a free beer and then join a group. Then, the game consisted of six categories of questions with 5 questions in each. First considering the invitation to the Quiz, I was hesitant to go because I expected questions focused on the Czech Republic but I was pleasantly surprised. The questions were not, in themselves, very complicated but sometimes required searching deep into one’s memories and that was what made the quiz more fun. In the end, even though my team did not win, the main thing to remember is the good mood of the presenters and animators, the laughs and the friendly atmosphere.
