Studying at Erasmus was a truly unique experience. I especially enjoyed the block-like system in which you have some exams pretty much every month (either midterms or finals). Even though it was sometimes difficult to keep up, it forced us to stay on top of our classes at all times, which was great from the perspective of the entire knowledge gained throughout our studies. What was also amazing about Erasmus was its culture of student associations and societies. There is truly a place for everyone with hundreds of societies in the areas of sports, culture, entrepreneurship, and social events.
