Why go on ERASMUS study programme?
On this faithful day at my University (Savonia University of Applied Sciences Varkaus, Finland) the gradual process of applying for an Exchange programme began with a step from me, by writing an open application letter for an Erasmus study exchange programme, but where (in which country)? The choice is not so far from my knowledge. At my University, I have always being a host of many new faces from different parts of the world. It's so easy to say "Welcome" and not so long to say "Goodbye".... But still the memories last forever.
But there was this set of Erasmus exchange student with their individual spontaneity, from eight different countries arrived at my university. Little did we know that this set of exchange group was going to leave behind a large mark at our University and in our lives. But out of many nationalities, one stood out with its warm hospitality, extremely friendly attitude, care for others, leadership, jovial nature, and many more qualities in this individuals who are great ambassadors of their beautiful country POLAND.
The little experience I had with just two separate individuals prompted me to go all out for a lifetime adventure in this Central European country that shares its borders with 7 other magnificent countries. The story continues after I have been selected as one of the students to study at the then known as; Karol Adamiecki University of Economics in Katowice for the winter semester 2010. I became really anxious of knowing more about the University by searching every crane and corner of YouTube, Picasa, Facebook and so on, just to see what my selected choice of University has to offer me.
If you think I was disappointed after seeing this video, please think again! And see for yourselves. I saw joyous faces, fulfilled smiles, interesting trips, amazing tram party, comments about the famous Kwadraty student club, a video of united people chanting "Kato kato KA-TO-WICE", I saw the creation of a big happy family brought together by the now known as; University of Economics in Katowice.
After seeing all this, my morale and expectations got boosted immensely. I just couldn't wait till the beginning of a new academic year for my thoughts to be made real.
