Where can I get a student ID in Poland (Wroclaw) using my American Student ID?

I am afraid there is not such a thing as national Polish student ID. There are only the IDs of respective Polish universities which you need to be enrolled to (or be a part of student exchange program) in order to get one.

However, from my observation – they will accept foreign student ID (and some international cards like ISIC or Euro26) in most places – especially cinemas, museums.

The problems may be with national railways – you may have problems getting discount ticket if you are not enrolled to Polish university.

The only international student ID I am aware of is ISIC and in Poland you can get one in one of the places listed on their Polish web site: http://www.isic.pl/index.php/gdzie-mozna-wyrobic-karte.html

I don’t know if they will be willing to issue you with a card based on your American student ID though. It might depend on local branch managers interpretation.

You should also check if you are entitled for travel discount, the rules seem to be different for different cities and modes of transport. It seems that the ISIC card is enough for trams in Wroclaw: http://www.wroclaw.pl/uprawnienia_do_ulg.dhtml
