TIPS AND GUIDELINES ON HOW TO PREPARE FOR YOUR BEST YEAR EVER!

If you are still not sure about going to Erasmus,there is only one answer: go to Erasmus and shut up.

Fix some goals you want to reach during your Erasmus year: exams, trips, culture etc. You must capitalize your time to the fullest!

In Erasmus you will never be alone: you will find a lot of people who are there for the same reasons as you: enjoying, partying and, of course, studying.

Plan to attend an EILC laguage course.

Lay in good resolu-tions. And good con-doms.

Pack a suit.

Remember you’ll never travel so much.

Get ready to discover new traits of your personality, especially the most wild ones.

Keep in mind, that it is likely for a new relationship to begin during Erasmus. As well as it ending afterwards.

Keep in mind that leaving while you are in a relationship will make things really hard for both. And you would probably enjoy Erasmus at 50%.

Among the greatest inventions humanity will remember in its history there will be for sure: agriculture, antibiotics, tooth-brush and Erasmus.

Remember, you’ll never get laid so much.

Go to Erasmus with the curiosity of a child, but don’t come back with children…

Before leaving, book a new liver.

Finding accommodation should be inserted as a new sport in the Olympic games.

Consider Erasmus as an amazing adventure that will mark your life (and your liver).

Put aside a lot of money, you’ll need double anyway.

Think of everything you expect from your Erasmus experience. Done? Now multiply it by 100 and you will have just a 10% of what Erasmus really is.

Make up at least 10 reasons to ask your parents for money: you’ll need all your creativity and drama skills.

Join Erasmusu, the social network for Erasmus and exchange students http://erasmusu.com, to meet your future Erasmus friends before arriving to the city, read experiences of other Erasmus students, find accommodation and checkout information and rankings about the cities, universities and mobility pro-grams.

Hope not to be in a flat with somebody of the same nationality as you are.

Get ready to grow and change.

Keep your eyes open on the bureaucrat ic deadlines.

Keep in mind that preparing for the exams in the host school could be very different from what you’re used to.
