Mateja's Erasmus student experience

I first learned about the Erasmus program four years ago while volunteering at the AIESEC student association when my colleague went to Finland through it. Then I was in my 2nd year graduate study at the Faculty of Economics in Osijek. It was not a common to stay at a foreign university at that time, which is why this was an interesting opportunity for me. A year later, my best friend decided to participate in the program, which further increased my interest.

Intrigued by the impressions and experiences of others, I decided to contact the Erasmus coordinator. There was no doubt about it, I started my journey!

After careful research, I decided to go to Graz in Austria. The reason for this is primarily that it is a German-speaking area, and at that time the German language served me better than English. Furthermore, the chosen university seemed like a good decision because it has been around for many years and it employs good professors and has a large number of students from all over the world.

I would tell everyone to dare to experience Erasmus because it is a fantastic adventure that marks your life - for the better!
