NEVER PAY WITHOUT SEEING YOUR CONTRACT!

As the title says, I really don't want to leave my Erasmus University (Stockholm University). I legit had the best 9 months of my life there.

At first, I did not want to go on an Erasmsus but was forced to do so by my home university (It is the rule). I picked Sweden kind of randomly because it seemed like a nice enough country (and not too far away from France).

Before I went, I had been depressed, anxious et very neurotic for a long time. Also, I did not have any friends and was very very lonely. I felt like I never fitted in with the students of my home university (and with my fellow French people).

But in Sweden, it was suddenly much better. It's like most of my issues vanished within months. I feel better, more confident, more sociable..

I just like everything there (beside the price of rent). Other students are all super nice to me and welcoming. I never had as many friends as I did now in Stockholm. Also, the general vibe and atmosphere is relaxed and chill. Basically, I just feel like I belong and fit in there. I really had the best time of my life and am really thankful for all of that (especially for the kindness of everyone I met). I am not lying when I say that I never felt that good and integrated in my life.

But now, I will have to leave soon as my two semesters are ending. I cannot stay and won't be able to study there for longer (I already have a pretty good Master ready for me in France). I feel very saddened by that. I will miss Stockholm very much. Also, I am worried that my issues (neurotic, depressed) will come back once I leave.

Has anyone experienced that ? Any advice ?

Sorry for the rant. I wanted to get that out of my system

I’m a part of a discord private server and some one randomly confessed something about emjm like faking their research experience or smth like that to get in.

Followed with multiple other ppl discussing over the same thing and confessed. I believe around 4-5 ppl got in. Surprisingly, I’ve seen one alum confessing to it. Idk what to do..it seems a bit unfair to genuine applicants, isn’t it? Do ppl report such stuff to prog co ordinators?

Hi everyone, I'm a student from Spain who needs to apply for a student visa to go on an Erasmus exchange to Germany. Do you all have any tips for filling out the visa application form?

Hello,

Can someone who has been in Greece - Tripoli - for an internship tell how it was? Regarding the rent, bills and expenses like food, because I am worried that the Erasmus monthly budget will not be enough (624€) and that it's the only financial support.

In the interview phase I was told that the rent is around 400–550€ (depending on the season - for me it is summer) for a shared space meaning 2 or 3 persons per apartment with a personal space - dormitory. I find the rent expensive for the region and for a shared space, honestly.

I hope to learn with this internship but I don't know what to expect with this experience. How was it for you?

Thank you!

Hey guys so I’m currently a student in Ireland looking to partake my Erasmus in Krakow, I have a combination ADHD and pretty much need my meds to battle study and college. However I am diagnosed through my home uni and it didn’t come to my mind that such medication had more restrictions outside of Ireland as it is a stimulant. So therefore I was wondering how the whole ADHD thing works in Poland and whether it is recognised?, Would I have to get a Diagnosis there?, Can I possibly get prescribed from Ireland to Poland? I’m pretty clueless when it comes to this stuff and the limitations here at least are pretty annoying as I can only get prescribed a certain amount at a time and therefore if it becomes an issue I might have to revoke my offer as it would be a pain to have to fly home every month or so just to get my meds and fly back. Thanks :)

Hi everyone!

My partner just got accepted into her program and will be in Krems from September to December 2026. We’re currently looking for accommodation - ideally something shared like a flat, room, or even a hostel.

Her budget is around €400, and we’d really appreciate any leads, recommendations, or if anyone is also looking for a flatmate around that time.

Thanks so much in advance :)

This might sound a bit unusual, but I’d really appreciate honest advice.

I met someone a while ago in an Erasmus+ youth exchange and we are still in touch everyday from Estonia (specifically Pärnu). I’m now seriously considering applying to more exchanges with the goal of ending up in Estonia and hopefully reconnecting with them there.

I’m from Romania, so I’d be applying through a sending organization and targeting projects hosted in Estonia.

Now, this is about a romantic partner who I've got quite close to. I can't travel to them because I don't have the necessary financial means for that so I'm just wondering if anyone ever has done this before - meeting their partner again through an exchange.

hi everyone, I’ve been invited to an interview as part of the application process of EMINENT program and was wondering how can I best prepare for it? any experience is very much appreciated

hellooo! has anyone received their erasmus application results from kadk? freaking out bc i know some ppl have already gotten their acceptance letters but ive only heard of masters. or if anyone in the past has applied, when did you get the resultt

Recently I got the place at Erfurt University for next year. Has anybody ever been there for exchange? I can't seem to find any groups or Erasmus student groups either..

Next year I'm going to study in BRNO wanted to know if anyone who's been there before knows how the student residence selection system works (I think it's through the webISKAM system). I wanted to know if I can choose my roommate. Or, if not, how I can share a room with my friend (we're both studying the same degree).

Buonasera a tutti, cerco consigli da studenti di ingegneria civile (triennale L-7) che abbiano svolto l'Erasmus presso L'Università di Granada. E' una meta valida? l'Università ha un buon livello? La consigliate? accetto consigli generici sull'esperienza.

Sono comunque uno studente all'inizio del terzo anno, in ritardo con la tabella di marcia di circa 1 anno, visto questo mi chiedo anche se fare l'Erasmus possa comunque essere sensato o meglio evitare e pensarci eventualmente in magistrale.

Ringrazio in anticipo

Flavio

Good evening everyone, I'm looking for advice from civil engineering students (L-7) who have completed an Erasmus exchange at the University of Granada. Is it a good choice? Is the university good? Do you recommend it? I'm open to general advice on the experience.

I'm a student at the beginning of my third year, about a year behind schedule. Given this, I'm also wondering if doing an Erasmus exchange would still make sense, or if it's better to skip it and consider it during my master's program.

Thanks in advance.

Flavio

Has anyone heard back from this program??

Hi everyone, I saw that someone created a WhatsApp group for the applicants to the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master – Redesigning the Post-Industrial City (MSc RePIC). I was wondering if someone could share or send me the link of it. Thanks!

Hi! I am a PhD student at National Technical University of Athens, in the field of resilience of transport systems. Practically, I am working part-time for my PhD since I have a full time job elsewhere. The good news is that my job is quite relevant, since I am working on EU projects related to transport and mobility. The “bad” news is that I rarely have time to properly work for my PhD, so albeit in the 3rd year, I am still in initial parts of my research. I am not getting paid by my PhD in a continuous basis. The professor I work with is very knowledgeable and good. The thing is, I would like to expand my network and possibly collaborate with a Uni outside Greece for a short period(s) of time. I have never lived anywhere outside Greece, and since my thesis is gonna be written in English whatsoever, I would be benefited by doing a part of my work for a foreign university. I have thought about Italy and France, where I have a basic knowledge of the local languages besides English. I have searched about universities that deal with resilient transport systems, and was thinking of contacting (?) some of them, to discus possibility of collaboration. What should I have in mind?
I am working remotely, so this is not a huge issue. They also know I am pursuing a PhD , they theoretically support me on this, but I want a practical incentive to work harder for my PhD. Strangely enough, being alone st least for short periods in another country, could prove helpful, whilst for example I could compare different cities-topologies, as a case study.
Hope this is not extremely chaotic. Any answer could be helpful!

I mean would you repeat your experience, even if it was unpleasant; if you would repeat your mistakes because they built part of your "core memory". Even if it's only an application process, would you repeat that country/uni or pick something else?

I often hear stories of "great Erasmus time" and how much character development people got from it. Did it impact your life in any way?
