During my semester in Kortrijk, I met a lot of people of course, but this experience is more than only meetings. Indeed, Erasmus students are like a big family because we are together all days:, we follow courses,we cook, we make parties... In addition, the atmosphere is very relaxed, and we learn a lot with others students: new cultures, new way of style, and we improve our english. Erasmus programme is the best experience that I have lived.

The Erasmus experience has been the best adventure of my Life! Thanks to this I had the chance to know amazing people from all over the world and I created strong bonds I'm sure I'm never going to lose. Moreover, Belgium is an amazing country that contributed a lot to make me live an unforgettable experience that made me grow a lot!

I’ve done an Erasmus year in Kortrijk. It was the best experience of my life, I met a lot of amazing people that I will never forget. Kortrijk is a very nice city which is very convenient to travel in Belgium.

Hearing that Erasmus is the best period of a student's life might seem exaggerated. Although, it is only realistic. Being a period of self discovery, this program gave me new insights about what I want to achieve in my personal and professional life and triggered me to be more open, make friendships and get to know the world that I am living in from a different perspective.

I truly believe that deciding to move to Kortrijk, Belgium and being an ocean away from everything and everyone I knew and loved for 10 months as been the best decision I ever made. This experience as change my life for the better, by allowing me to see the world in so many other perspectives. Each person I met here teached me something different and the friendship bonds I have created with them is like no other.

For my part my experience here has not only been wonderful but also full of fun adventures. I will start by saying that I encourage everyone to do the same, an Erasmus experience like this can only be a good thing for anyone. It really opens your mind, make you come out of your bubble and comfort zone and see the world differently. Exchanging, living and studying with people from all around the world, different cultures, languages and ways of thinking really has a positive outcome on someone. I met people that had a big impact on my life and now I have connection all over the world which is great! Overall Erasmus life is pretty awesome, and it is definitely something every student should experience.

I have to say that coming to Europe for nearly a year to pursue my studies is one of the best decisions I ever took. I met a whole lot of new friends that might actually stick around for a lifetime and will give me the opportunity to travel later in order to visit them. Therefore, I honestly think that studying in a foreign country is a necessity to grow as an individual.

Well, for me Erasmus has been much more than a studding abroad and a learning experience. I have been able to meet people from completely different mentalities talk and work hand to hand with them uniting forces, instead of fighting each other, being able to achieve great results not only academically but relationship wise. I have meet people from many parts of the world, but two individuals from Canada came into my life to stay and I can loudly state that they are my family now, their names are Monique and Josée.
Erasmus has been a life changing experience that I think every single university student should have along with their studies, I literally cannot describe how cool this experience has been for me. I would without a doubt choose to do it again!

First of all, a reinforcement of my knowledge and the opportunity to change the approach on subject that I already liked through another language English and another culture, the Flemish.
But above all, the human experience is the greatest gain of Erasmus in my opinion, to connect with the people who surround us first and then with the countries from which they come to and finally create this great international family of Erasmus generations.
