"I was wondering which picture would serve best as a summary of my six months in Prague and I couldn't decide. I was also wonderung what to write in order to describe my time in Prague and couldn't find the right words. This is where I realized how much I had experienced and how great my exchange semestester was for me. I got to know so many new perspectives - on a new city, on my studies, on me and my future. I understand now how much I want to return to Prague which has become 'my hood.'"

"One can only fully grasp the vast expanse of Finland, its dark winter months and the everyday coping mechanisms developed by the Finnish people if you have lived there yourself. Mastering the balancing act between your home and your new life, broadening your own horizon while experiencing this very special dialogue about culture, university and life with people from all over Europe - that's what makes an Erasmus term so very unique. The Finnish love the endless vastness of their country which is not only reflected in freetime activities but also in teaching at university. I won't ever forget either - the magic of a freezing cold polar night or the classes leading us to a permanent nuclear waste repository one day and to the local start up the next - that's completely normal in Finland."

Marie, Vocational Education and Management, University of Pécs/Hungary

"I would re-embark on my Erasmus semester at any time. On my picture, we are in Siklós on one of the manifold trips organized by the European Student Network. I can warmly recomment the Erasmus programme to everyone who wants to experience a new culture while finding friends for life."
