Summary/Abstract: For a couple of years already Andrzej Frycz Modrzewski Cracow University has been hosting students from various parts of the world; and Ukrainian students are the most numerous . The growing number can bring, beside the undoubted benefits, not only of financial kind, conflicts on the grounds of culture differences, language, customs and traditions. This problem does not only apply to potential conflicts between Polish students and those coming from such exotic countries as African or Arabic ones but also conflicts with students from more familiar cultures. This article presents close analysis of the study carried out among Polish and Ukrainian students of Cracow university by means of qualitative and quantitative methods. The study shows the mutual image and stereotypes of both groups which may have influence on the process of academic integration of the above mentioned respondents.
