Important to choosing this university...
Academic reasons
KEY:
Very Important.
Important.
Not really important.
Unimportant.
Culture
Costs
Activities
Campus life
Party / people
Weather / Location
I wish I had known...
Be prepared to be alone and feel out of place for a few days... It's normal but it will pass! Take something to entertain you like dvds or something you like to do alone for the first days. Take some pictures from your friends to put in your room.
In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!



During my experience abroad, I ...
Became familiar with another culture
KEY:
Happened all the time.
Happened quite a lot.
Happened a bit.
Didn't happen.
Traveled
Improved language skills
Met people from other countries
Became more independent
Partied a lot
Experienced a change in life
Advanced my studies/career
Personal recommendation:
Its very good. The Erasmus Association works very good. Just remember to arrive there a weak earlier to buy a book that has all the courses and send e-mails to the teachers saying that you're erasmus and asking to go to their courses.



FINAL COMMENTS

If you are thinking of going then go! If you don't have much money you can always find a hob anywhere - it easy. You will have lots of fun and the grades usually are better than when we are in our own country ;)
