about university
What made your university special? What were the facilities where you studied and the university equipment like?
Since I have to describe University of Graz, I fee the organization was excellent. Unfortunately, they faced an cyperattack in February, so their online platforms were not that approachable.
What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think about your "adoptive" university? What made it special? What were the premises where you studied and the university facilities like?
Easier than expected. So, it appears that the only important moment for the semester is the exam.final paper. Well, no one cares about our class participation and in advance preparation.
What is student life like at university?
Yes, there are some organizations that take care of the exchange students. Honestly, I really like some of their events, which were dedicated to sport.
Did you study in English or in the language of the host country? What language requirements does the university have?
Yes, classes that I picked up were in English
about the city
What was your impression of the city? How would you describe it? What is interesting to see here?
A small city, so we did not purchase public transportation cards.
about finances
In your experience, how far does the scholarship go? What percentage of your expenses did it cover? What is your opinion on prices in the country in general?
I used all the scholarship. Well, due to the inflation processes during the last 2-3 years, it is recommended a swap into its amount.
Please advise your classmates on how to save money—Where to shop? What services can be used to save money?
Via cooking

about accommodation
What type of accommodation did you choose? Would you recommend it to others? If not, what type of accommodation do you think is best based on your experience (dormitory, private apartment, private dormitory, shared room, etc.)?
I lived in a single room in a dormitory. I did not face any issues with the accommodation.
about experiences
Did you use Erasmus stay to travel around your country/Europe? What are your best travel experiences? What would you not recommend?
Yes, I visited 4 EU capitals for the semester.
Language and culture: what cultural differences did you notice? How did you cope with the national language? Was it also the language of your studies? Do you feel that your language skills improved during your stay?
Well, I feel I kept the same level of English due to the fact that my whole degree is in English. Unfortunately, I did not find some time to revise my German language skills.
final rating
Why here? What makes this location special? Why would you send your friends to your country/city?
