Włochy
Jesteśmy na wymianie we Włoszech już od miesiąca, podoba nam się tutejsza atmosfera i klimat. Najtrudniejsze były pierwsze dni w Sassari (Sardynia), gdyż ciężko było znaleźć odpowiednie mieszkanie i załatwić wszystkie potrzebne dokumenty.
Biuro ESN w Sassari było bardzo pomocne przez pierwsze dwa dni, przez internet wypełniliśmy tzw. PICK UP SERVICE, dzięki czemu studenci z tego biura odebrali nas z dworca i zawieźli do hotelu, gdzie mieliśmy zagwarantowaną pierwszą noc, po czym przekazali najpotrzebniejsze informacje, oraz gdzie mamy zgłosić się drugiego dnia.
Erasmus – Przygoda Życia
Jakiś czas temu wróciłam do Polski po spędzonym semestrze w Hiszpanii.
Teraz żałuję… żałuję tego, że byłam tam TYLKO 5 miesięcy!:)
Wszystko zaczęło się podczas pierwszego semestru III roku moich studiów…
Nigdy w życiu nie pomyślałabym o wyjeździe z kraju. Któregoś dnia, grupa moich znajomych postanowiła wyjechać na Erasmusa. Jako przyszłych prawników interesował nas wyjazd do Anglii, by poznać prawo obowiązujące w tej części Europy. Jednak dla naszego kierunku możliwy był wyjazd wyłącznie do Włoch lub Hiszpanii. W związku z tym większość chętnych zrezygnowała. Zostałam sama. Musiałam zatem podjąć jedną z ważniejszych decyzji w życiu – zostać jak wszyscy lub wyjechać i pokonać swój strach. Nie było mi łatwo z myślą, że pojadę bez przyjaciół, do obcego kraju, na prawie pół roku.
