Why take part in an exchange programme?
Boosting your language skills and your CV, learning life skills, discovering different cultures and gaining an international network of friends - not to mention having fun! There's so many reasons to consider taking the opportunity to study abroad on an exchange programme.
I stayed in France in a small city called Troyes – about an hour-and-a-half on the train from Paris – and couldn't have had a better experience. My French was at a very basic level when I arrived, but at the end of my 5 months there, having lived with a French couple, I was able to hold a decent conversation and was delighted with my progress. There were various events and inductions laid on specially for Erasmus students, and I met so many lovely people from all over the world.
