I am a very curious person. Slovenia and the eastern-south of Europe is a part I never visited before. Also I think that Slovenia offers the best combination between low prices (for a person living in Luxembourg), the amazing nature, parties and travel possibilities. Also, the offered courses in Law Faculty for Erasmus students were very interesting on the website as for example US Bankruptcy Law, Introduction to Amercian Legal System and to American Legal Writing.
