Live and Study

Don’t forget, I’m here to study

Well, yes, when I will have to explain my Erasmus to my future employer, I’ll will probably skip the fun part of my life here and focus on the university, which is actually nice too. I subscribed to four courses here: Writing for mass media, graphic design, magazine project and Swedish language. Opposed to Belgium, the course works with modules. You start a course and you have for example five weeks with only one topic, ending with a test before start the next module.

I feel that courses are very interesting. We evolve fast and learn a lot. Those consist of many practical exercises and challenges. Sometime, I feel like I already have to act like a professional. 

The university is very well equipped. One of the buildings is full of media and communication’s technology. It is very impressive when you come from a university that has only five Mac

The university is big and really beautiful. It looks like a small village. The greatest thing is the library.  With its tree floor, all these plants and these special corners for group works, it’s perfectly designed for study.  

Now I (nearly) know how to live

For the first time of my life, mummy and daddy are not here to help me and tell me what to do. I have to cook, to clean, to make my laundry and to live in a shared apartment with someone who’s not my sisters or another part of my family. Someone I didn't chose.

Having an Erasmus experience is truly a life lesson, wherever you go. But you have to choose it well and be prepared. Far away, little troubles can became big problems. But you will always find someone to help you.
