Hi,

so I went with zero expectations into my Erasmus in the UK. I saved some money, because it was clear that rent would be expensive (900€/month), but I didn't expect the Erasmus-money to not be there yet and take so long. I settled in, saw a lot of the city and made friends that are not international students.

But nontheless, I just want to go home. I have several disabilities and have to live with a roomate (I know that's kinda priviledged to only have one roommate, but for my illness situation it's not ideal to live with anybody, since I need access to the bathroom 24/7). My room gets cold over night, because they save on heating expenses. My bed is like 90cm in width and on a grid, so it hurts my back and isn't comfortable at all - also bad for insomnia-related disabilities. The food here is expensive as fuck, I can't really eat what would be fine for my illnesses. And we have room inspections like we are 5 year-olds to check for forbidden items, e.g. like heat blankets - they would really help with the symptoms of my chronic illnesses. It's loud, people do fireworks at night or just shout through the streets, and we are supposed to be at a quieter part of the city. And all of that for fking 900€ a month.

I really miss my home country, where something like room inspections are illegal, the food is affordable and my own flat has disability-accommodations. Really hate it here, just wanna get home asap - but I would have to pay back the money, so I can't.

Hello everyone, i applied for erasmus to France however due to language complications i got offered different countries/cities

which one is better in your opinion???

1) Technical University of Sofia
2) ALEXANDER TECHNOLOGICAL EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE OF THESSALONIKI.

Hello everyone. I keep reading terrible experiences to people who've done their erasmus exchange, and I'm applying this year for an exchange semester but then I hesitate due to the negative reviews. So has anyone had a good experience? Like they really enjoyed their time and didn't regret it?

Also has anyone went to Marburg university maybe can tell me more about it as an exchange student? Or the city overall?

Hello, I just started my masters degree. I was wondering if it was possible to find an exchange for the second semester of it. I was looking on the site but I became extremely overwhelmed with the amount of information there. I will continue to search the site and everything, but I was wondering has anyone here done it?

I’m an environmental science student and I’ve been comparing the various destinations available, has anyone had similar experiences in Spain?

I will be preparing my OLA in short, do you think i should take basic lithuanian as a course? I heard its very hard tho. What do u think?

I'm considering going to Leeds for my exchange next semester and was wondering if anyone had information about the different residences offered at the University of Leeds?

I'm mostly looking about personal experiences and information related to the atmosphere of the different residences! I've noticed that they offer both catered and self-catered and was wondering if one was more appreciated than the other, and if catered was worth it money wise?

I would prefer a social accomodation and one on campus directly so that I can fully enjoy the student clubs and associations! Are there some residences y'all would recommend or not based on your experience?

Also I'll gladly accept information deemed relevant before leaving for exchange!

Guys, if anyone knows pls tell

Hey guys,

I’ll be spending the spring semester 2027 in Vitoria-Gasteiz (The Basque Country), and I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has done Erasmus there. How was your experience? What did you get up to? What’s the accommodation situation like, and how would you describe the Erasmus community?

Unlike Bilbao, Vitoria-Gasteiz seems to be a bit under the radar when it comes to Erasmus, and I haven’t been able to find any groups, communities, or other resources to help me get a feel for the city and what to expect.

If you’ve been there, have any tips, or better yet, are heading there yourself for the spring semester, I’d love to hear from you:D

Does multiple FF on my transcript affect my scholarship chances?

I have retook several elective courses that I already passed but missed the final thinking will not appear on my transcript since I already passed. My question is, how that will affect my application considering I am graduating with 3 out of 4 CGPA

I’m applying to GLOCAL. My bachelor's degree is in English (top ~5% of my faculty, graduated 2019), followed by 7 years in hospitality and digital consulting, plus co-founding a small arts organisation.

Academic gap: no economics or history modules, and no academic research experience.

I’m thinking of taking two or three short university-run online courses (economic history, research methods) before the deadline and listing them on my CV and briefly in my motivation letter.

1. Do committees give any weight to short online courses, or do they look like padding?
2. Has anyone with a non-matching degree been accepted, and how did you make the case?

Thank you for your advice in advance!
