How many students dream of going on Erasmus? Of living an unforgettable experience? Being in another country, at another university, meeting new people, discovering a culture different from your own… Going on Erasmus is unforgettable, as anyone who has done it will tell you.
Reasons to go on Erasmus:
Travel:
As we get older, however much we enjoy travelling, our work, family or financial circumstances may not allow it. That is why it is so important to do it while you are young. Erasmus gives you the chance to travel without borders. Many students take the opportunity to visit countries neighbouring their host country, as well as the wonders hidden in their cities.
Strengthening your academic record:
Anyone who wants to succeed professionally knows it takes hard work. An Erasmus placement lets you round out your academic record. Many companies think highly of people who have been on Erasmus, for everything it involves.
Going out and having fun
But it cannot all be work. Erasmus students are also known for the multicultural parties they organise. You have to study, you have to work, but you also have to know how to switch off and go out. What is more, those parties are spectacular, because you meet people from all over the world.
Learning another language
Another point in your favour. Being in another country, surrounded by people from abroad and from cities all over the world, the language you have to speak is that of your host country, so you will improve enormously in a short time.
Standing on your own two feet
Mum and Dad will not be there to do everything for you or come to the rescue. At first you will not have friends to help you either. This experience is good in every way, and you will see how you learn to fend for yourself, to cook… to do things you never imagined you would do.
Discovering a different culture
You will be in a different country, with different customs and a cuisine all of its own… It will open your mind and help you understand that culture much better.
Friends for life
Yes, the friends you make that year will be friends for life. Being far from home, family and friends means the new people you meet become closer friends; the bond is more intense, deeper. In the end, the friends you make gradually become your family. So if you are thinking of going on Erasmus next year, now is the best time to sign up for our courses and squeeze every last drop out of the experience. It is all upside: you will gain in life experience, academically and linguistically. What more could we ask for? Find out here about all our courses and get in touch with us for more information.
