What Former Students Said? " Erasmus life for me is about opportunities. Every opportunity I had, I took it and I thank ERASMUS for it." " ERASMUS is a lot more than a studying experience. For me it is a way to look at the world with new eyes, to feel and discover new emotions and learn what is not written in the textbooks." " There is nothing like 40 people singing ‘Happy Birthday’ to a fellow student, each one of them in their own language. " " ERASMUS is a lot more than a studying experience. For me it is a way to look at the world with new eyes, to feel and discover new emotions and learn what is not written in the textbooks." " ERASMUS is a lot more than a studying experience.
