I love the university life and travel around the EU, but I think one year is too short, and I also have too much vacations, I hope the courses can be more substantial.

It's quite positive that the instrucion language is english 'cause that gives the possibility to the ones that don't speak dutch to choose rotterdam to have an internacional experience. and for the ones interested it's a possibility to learn another language.

Balance out your work with partying and travelling, Rotterdam may not be a destination city but it is definitely a gateway to the rest of Europe. Check out EasyJet and BasiqAir for cheap flights..

My academic life was pretty good. I was impressed by the Marketing Seminar I did. It was so different from everything I did before in Spain. I really enjoyed it.

Holland is a really good country for Erasmus. Erasmus University is a well-known university with good teachers. And Erasmus life is best with good friends like I have.

I made an interrail after Erasmus. It is a really good idea, that I have a chance to see my friends again in one month time. I get involved with lots of cities, languages and cultures.
