Field notes

Eastern Polish capital with a strong university culture (UMCS, KUL, Lublin University of Technology). Stare Miasto and Śródmieście are the walkable historic neighborhoods. Schengen — no DNV; Poland Business Harbour is the IT skilled-migration route. Cheaper than Warsaw or Krakow by 30–40%. Three hours from Warsaw by train, two from the Ukrainian border (factor in the security context post-2022).
