Overall

I wish I had known...

I can't say there was any one thing that I wish I would have known. I guess I wish I had brought more of the "right" clothes, but that is not really a critical issue. I went in with an open mind and that was the most important thing.

In my opinion:

Most people loved it.

Going to another country is something different. You must keep an open mind and be prepared to learn. There will be bad days, but the overall experience is worth all the trouble!

Personal recommendation

Its a great place to study and not very big. Therefore there is not a huge student community and so there are less foreign students which will force you to speak more of the language. Avoid socialising with foreign people and integrate with the locals as that is the only true way to learn the language and experience the culture

Its great, specially because you don t have to study a lot more than your home University, and that gives you the chance to enjoy the Erasmus exciting life.

Just one; try to bring a lot of money so that you can travel a lot during your holidays. I think that s one of the best ways to get to know a foreign culture, is an exciting experience!. Be eager to discover the world traveling.
