The EUC is a multicultural home, a university which represents different cultures and welcomes students from all around the world. It\u2019s our responsibility to make them feel at ease, to integrate them with our local culture as our scholar ethos and values dictate. Offering students a holistic education is a process that continues outside the classroom doors, learning from each other and communicating their customs and beliefs across the campus is key to that.\u00a0 That\u2019s why we are active ambassadors of the Erasmus program, which gives the student to study abroad for a specific period of time.<\/p>\n
Get the \u2018on my own\u2019 feeling.<\/p>\n
Studying abroad can be a decision you\u2019re uncertain to make. It\u2019s a completely different kind of student life and standing on your own two feet in an environment that\u2019s completely out of your comfort zone will only benefit you in the long run.<\/p>\n
Go to places.<\/p>\n
Have you ever come across people with stories that begin with \u2018I have a friend in Spain\u2019 or \u2018back then when I studied in Italy\u2019? Don\u2019t you feel already overwhelmed by the mind trip alone the phrase takes you? You can be one of these people! As much as it sounds old and clich\u00e9, traveling is the best experience money can buy and live at a place for a longer period of time, will create a bond between you and that place. It will feel like a second home, a choice you can make without regrets in the future when you decide where you want to build a career at.

Make new friends.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not just about surviving in a different set. It\u2019s about enjoying too. To do that, you need to be on the lookout, find new people that have the same interests as you, look the world in the same perspective and, with Erasmus, you will have the chance and the time to build that friendship on solid grounds. You will have to let your guard down, be the one that screens and approaches new individuals to go the extra mile, in order to start a friendship.

And in the long run, you will find just how much you grew, because you were willing to step into that zone.<\/p>\n
An advocate of togetherness<\/p>\n
