I don't think so. Apart from negative aspects of the uni and the country, I am happy with the experience of being an Erasmus student!

I mean, what matters is going abroad! If I have to choose between going to a "so-so" university or staying at home, I'll go to the uni! The uni is secondary, what matters is that you make the most of your time here! But... if you have the chance... go to another uni (at least for Humanities!)



FINAL COMMENTS

You MUST travel around a lot. Once you are here, Ireland, Scotland and England are just some hours away... Do visit Ireland and Scotland... and London!
