Erasmus Experience in Toulouse, France by Zsófia

Source

Why did you choose to go to Toulouse, France?

Because at my university there are not so many place where we can do Erasmus, and most of the students choose a place where they can learn in english, and not so many students choose France, so there is more chance. And in France why Toulouse? Because my french teacher told me that the weather is nice there.
