Erasmus success stories ? Europe creates opportunities

24/09/2008

"When I finished my Erasmus year I felt not only Portuguese, but a bit Swedish? a little bit Italian as well, and Spanish, German, French, and so on?! In fact Erasmus really changes your life!"

"The difficult part of Erasmus is not to set off for a foreign country with a different language and culture. No, the challenge is to return home, leave your new friends and get used to your old life again."

ERASMUS has developed at the beginning just being an educational programme. It gives many European university students the chance of living for the first time in a foreign country, and it has reached the status of a social and cultural phenomenon. This brochure presents 20 Erasmus success stories.
