'The exchange programme provided a variety of courses to choose from (the majority in English), but also the liberty to choose what I actually liked and needed for my academic career. The city in itself played an important role in my decision as well, since it is so culturally rich and beautiful in a very unique way.'

'Participating in an exchange program was the best decision I could have made. I set off on my own, with a suitcase in hand and countless fears and uncertainties, not really knowing what to expect. It was a leap into the unknown, but today, I can say that it profoundly changed the way I see myself and the world around me.'
