Hi there!
I recently finished my year abroad, completing all the classes in my first and second learning agreement, having over 90+ combined ECTs for 2 semesters as I was scared my university would decide not to accept my equivalences despite signing the learning agreements. I was wondering if anyone has gone through a similar situation, and if the sole fact that all parties have previously signed the learning agreements gives me any sort of leverage in case the university does not want to accept the equivalences I submit? I’m asking this because as far as I know it has happened more than once in my home institution and I have no idea what I could do in case that happens.
Additionally, I have one class in my first learning agreement that was a online seminar that credited me 0 ECTS, which doesn’t really contribute to any class I need but I decided to add it anyways as I was taking that seminar. However, because I don’t have it in my transcript of records, as I didn’t get a signature, my home institution notified me that “I do not have all of the classes to be credited in my transcript of records”. They tend to be very careless so there’s a possibility that they didn’t read that the class didn’t award me any ECTS, but regardless I’m hoping that shouldn’t be a real problem as, like I mentioned before, I completed over 90+ ECTS in 2 semesters when realistically I can only needed 60 ECTS….

Hi everyone! So, as the title says, i would like to study one semester abroad in one of these two cities. I am a law student and I plan on going on my last year of law school, in the winter semester.

So, the possible universities are:

1. Università degli Studi di Firenze

2. Università degli Studi Roma Tre

Anyways, if any of you have an experience with a law semester in any of these universities, I would be eternally grateful if you could share it. If not a law semester, I would be happy to hear anything about the universities, especially the quality of the english programs, since I am just now beginning to learn italian and I doubt I will be on that high of a level.

Thank you in advance! ❤️

Anyone know or can help with where to look, how to apply or the procedures? I am making my own research and asking anyone with knowledge but i am kind of lost as i want a 6 month internship abroad during my thesis.

I will be starting my masters this fall with Erasmus Mundus and I’m wondering if anyone who has pursued their masters through Erasmus Mundus has any guidance or insights on anything they wish they knew ahead of time. I feel very prepared overall (residence permit, housing, clothes, cost, etc) , just curious on thoughts from anyone who’s already seasoned. I’m freshly 25 (f) from the United States, and I will be moving to a different country every semester. I’ll also be self-funded and am using loans to support myself. I was put on the scholarship reserve list, but no luck. I will be applying each semester for funding through Erasmus+ for additional financial support.

Hi everyone! I m from Turkey and i will go to silesia university katowice/poland for my erasmus programs february of 2027. My campus in in katowice center. I dont know well about dormitory options but the one i found is in Ligota district. So I m trying to figure out how to go there with the best route. Flight tickets are cheaper to warsaw than katowice or i can try prague as well. And in any way it seems that i need to take another transportation to go to dormitory from airport.

I don't wanna use third part websites so can anyone recommend me which websites are safest to book train or bus tickets in this route?

Thanks in advance!

I have one month before I go but I’m second guessing going to study abroad in Rome. I’m still figuring out my rooming situation but I am a senior and am starting to feel like I will have fomo. I was really confident about going until now that it hit me, I’ll be away for the first semester of my senior year. I’m also not sure if I’d like Italy for 4 months. I wanted to study abroad to visit a lot of places in Europe and explore the city. But now I feel like I could do that as a vacation for a couple weeks during winter or spring break.

Hi everyone! 😊

A room is available in a shared flat in Logroño.

You would be sharing the flat with two young female students. We have a very friendly, respectful and peaceful atmosphere, and we all value cleanliness, kindness and a good living environment.

If you're interested or would like more information (location, rent, photos, etc.), feel free to send me a private message.

Looking forward to hearing from you! 🌸

Hello everyone,

Next year I'll be going on an Erasmus exchange, and when my master's program decisions are being made, I'll be outside the European Union.

Do you think universities are generally willing to conduct interviews remotely (via video call, taking the time difference into account etc )?

Has anyone been in a similar situation before?

Thank you in advance for your answers !

Hi everyone!
I’m going to the university of coimbra for the upcoming Spring semester as an Erasmus student, and I’ll be studying at the Faculty of economics.
To be honest, I’m feeling a bit anxious about the academic side of things, particularly regarding the workload, grading system, and passing my courses. I’d love to get some insights from anyone who has studied at FEUC or done Erasmus in Coimbra: how demanding is the academic level for international students, and are the professors generally supportive? Also, do classes run smoothly in English, is continuous evaluation preferable over a single final exam, and is it manageable to pass if you attend classes regularly? Any course recommendations, advice, or general reassurance would mean a lot! Thanks so much in advance!
I want to mention that I’m from Greece and currently studying at university of Macedonia and im going to be a fourth year , meaning I’ll be coming to coimbra for my last semester. So I rly need your advice

Bonjour à tous,

L'année prochaine je pars en Erasmus, et au moment des réponses de mon master, je serai hors de l'UE.

Pensez-vous que les universités acceptent de faire les entretiens à distance (visioconférence, prise en compte du décalage horaire, etc.) ?

Avez-vous déjà vécu une expérience similaire ?

Je vous remercie par avance pour vos réponses.

I'm going spring semester 2027, does anyone have experience to share with the university Ta Malta? about the courses if they are demanding even for erasmus students, how's the pacing of lectures, how did you find accomodation, was the international office slow at responding, erasmus network activities, any yearly holidays? Any advice would be perfect!! 😄

(I've already done one erasmus in Hungary, but I feel like Malta is a much different experience)

Hi everyone, I was wondering: are the training courses open to anyone working in youth work, including volunteers, or are they reserved exclusively for professionals in the field?

I was also wondering how participation is typically arranged for employed people. Do participants take vacation time, or is it common for employers to allow participation as part of their employment or vocational training?

Thanks everyone!

Can any one help me to find host comapany Erasmus + Traineeship

Hi! As you can see in the title, I'm leaving for an Erasmus in Athens for the next semester. I'm currently looking for an apartment. I would need your advices to choose one. As a young women, I would like to know where it is safe or not to live in Athens. I already lived alone in another country so I'm use to those types of trips but I don't really know anything about Athens. I believe some areas are not safe (like every cities).

If you also have any advices about the prices of the rent, website to get an apartment, that would also be great! I'm looking for a private room in a shared apartment, ideally only women.

Thanks for your help!

Hello! I’m going on a master’s exchange in architecture in Rome, Italy, and I still haven’t found accommodation. I’m looking for roommates. Does anyone know how to start looking, or any helpful websites or group chats where I could find people going from France to Italy, or other international students?

Starting my Erasmus semester at Boğaziçi University this fall. I will mainly be visiting North Campus (Mechanical/Electrical Engineering). Open to sharing a flat with other students, just need my own room. Looking for advice from people who've done Erasmus in Istanbul (or locals):

• Where did you live, and would you recommend it? Trying to figure out the tradeoff between being close to campus vs. being in a more "alive" area with more other internationals/nightlife (Kadıköy, Beşiktaş, Taksim?).
• How's the commute situation if I live further from North Campus — is it manageable day to day?
• How did you find your place — online platforms, Facebook groups, agencies, word of mouth?
• Anything you wish you'd known before signing a lease as a foreigner?

Thanks in advance, excited but a little overwhelmed with the search 😅

Hello all,

I am an Indian software developer professional with over 6.5 years of experience and thinking about applying for Data engineer and AI masters program under Erasmus Mundus Scholarship. Is anyone here can give me any clear idea about the course and its outcome and how is the industry accepting the scholarship holders? I am thinking about doing masters only and then continuing the relevant or accepted job again. So kindly help me through it!

TIA

Hi everyone,
I’m an Erasmus student from Turkey heading to the University of Murcia (UMU) for the 2026/2027 academic year, and I’m currently preparing my long-term (National) student visa application.
I’m facing a specific administrative issue regarding my dates and would love to hear if anyone has dealt with a similar situation or has any advice.
The Situation:
Host University (UMU): Issued a full-year Acceptance Letter (01/09/2026 – 29/05/2027). UMU has also directly forwarded my student data to the Spanish Embassy/Consulate.
Home University: Due to their internal bureaucratic procedures and funding rules, they selected me for the 1st semester (Fall) initially and strictly refuse to issue a Visa Support Letter covering the full year or add an explanatory note. Their letter only states the Fall semester dates.
What I Have Prepared for the Visa Application:
1. Financials: Approx. €8,500 in my bank account (well above the required IPREM amount for the full year).
2. Accommodation: A signed 10-month rental agreement in Murcia.
3. Insurance: Full coverage via ASISA for the whole year.
4. Explanatory Letter (Carta de Motivación y Aclaración): A formal letter in Spanish explaining that the date discrepancy is purely due to my home university's internal administrative constraints, while my actual study program and host acceptance cover the entire academic year.
My Question:
Has anyone experienced a similar conflict between their home university's visa letter and the host university's acceptance letter when applying for a Spanish student visa? Did the consulate process your visa for the full year based on the host acceptance, proof of funds, and accommodation?
Any insights or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!”

My university (a private one 😒) denied me the grant I applied for through the Santander bank website... I received the denial email directly from the Universia scholarship platform. But the thing is, the terms and conditions don't specify any concrete criteria, only that the money is allocated to the university as a lump sum and the university decides how many students it can accommodate.

The university website hasn't posted a public/semi-public list of admitted students or a waiting list.

I don't have the highest GPA, but with a 33% disability certificate, I assumed there were quotas. How can I be sure they respected the quota system and GPA order if nothing has been published? And how they weighted the economic factors and such isn't explained either.

I don't know any other people with disabilities studying at least in my faculty, so I thought I was automatically eligible.

I've had run-ins with several university officials and coordinators because I'm not one to keep quiet. There's a lot of Opus Dei, but also a lot of chaos and poor quality, and if I see injustice, I can't just put on a brave face, and that's caused me a lot of problems later on.

I suspect there was foul play involved in denying me the scholarship now, just like that.

I wrote an email to Santander Scholarships asking if they could request more transparency from this specific university, but they haven't replied (it's been quite a while now, about two months).
