I spent my Erasmus semester in the north of Italy. It was the most amazing and exciting experience I ever had. Besides discovering a wide variety of people, cultures and languages from all over the world, you also develop yourself personally during this time. At the beginning it is, of course, very unusual to be in a foreign environment, but once you get used to the situation and have settled in, you do not want to leave anymore. The great thing about a semester abroad with Erasmus is that you get to know the host country, its traditions, its culture and the local way of life intensively and expand your own horizons.
I have found a second home and friends for life. This experience was a wonderful enrichment. I can only recommend to everyone who has the chance to study abroad for a semester or two.
