It was the best academic semester in my life! It was a great experience. Concerning travelling around within Estonia, it is the best to rent a car and get around on your own. For travelling to other countries I would recommend Eurolines or Vikinglines for ferry cruises.

That it would be such a life-changing experience! I left with the feeling 'I will be back in a few months', but now I don't want to go back to the Netherlands and prefer to go to another country or extend my stay in Estonia for a while.

Personal recommendation
Expect something copletely different if you're not used to private universities (I wasn't). Everything is possible and this sounds positive but can work negative if you're a bit lazy. If you put effort in you're work you'll easily receave a C or B-.

Travel tips: Russia! Not as dangerous as everybody says and really beautiful. Also Riga, Stockholm and Helsingi of course (take the Viking line, crappy but cheap!). Within Estonia: VIsit Narve, this is an Russian villiga, Tartu, THE student city of Estonia. Also Rakvere (for historical touch in your stay) and Parnu (beautiful in summer, don't go there in winter) are worth a visit.

Expenses
Main source of funding:
Government assistance
Other sources of funding:
Family<br>
Personal savings<br>
An ERASMUS grant
Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options
Personal spending habits
Nightlife: Although you learn a lot from an Erasmus trip, it's also Party Time! The drinks in Estonia are cheap, but as we went so often in the end it became quite expensive. Food is not so expensive if you stick to local products and going out for dinner is bill-wise lots of fun! Clothes and luxury products are quite expensive and is better to buy in Russia if you have the opportunity to go there.

Personal comments
My univerisity provided my books. What suprised me negatively was the brokers fee for my appartment of 600 euros... better try to find an apartment from another international student whose house you can take over!

Final comments
Tallinn is a very good starting point to discover the Baltics (Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania) as well as Finnland and Russia.
Before university starts try to get into the EILC course (erasmus intensive language course) - it's really interesting and you will find a lot of friends!

Academic
Course recommendations
Some subjects I chose weren't that nice after all, but still learned a lot. Some teachers hard to connect with as EBS is a private university and the teachers and professors have other things to do then just teaching. Especially my Psychology and Sociology class were very interesting.

Personal comments
The way of examining was a bit chaotic, which sometimes made sure I wasn't well prepared for a test. But as I always went to class this was never a real problem, but it is if you're a lazy bastard who rather sleeps then pays attention!
