Hi :) I'm thinking to go to Partium Christian University as a Erasmus student. Actually, I have a question: is your University only for Roman Catholics? Does students of other religions study there too?

Hi Zuzanna! Don't worry about the religion, there's a church actually but they're open to all students. Besides, if you're Erasmus I don't think you have to do any religious activities, at least I don't have to do any.
Anything you want to know just text :)
