Erasmus: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.

[@LucyAlllan]

Tell me a story about your Erasmus experience in the comments section!

[@LucyAlllan]

My favourite story is that one night I was out with a friend, and she asked me if I wanted to come to an Erasmus party. I actually don't really like parties as I'm a bit socially awkward with new people, but I went, and it turned out to be the party where I met one of my best friends!

[@khalilahd.]

I’ve never done anything like this but it sounds like an incredible experience ❤

[@LucyAlllan]

It’s a European thing!:)

[@chuuleta2313]

Im going on erasmus in sept and Im kind of afraid of being far from my hometown and safetyness in general but thanks to ur vid I will look at it more like an opportunity to call another place home. Also, hearing you talk about where I live from your perspective, made me somehow appreciate my city more :)

[@annabakker5365]

Hi! I just got back from my erasmus and I had the same feeling as you. I was super scared and sad to leave my friends, my boyfriend and my home, but I really wish I wouldn’t have stressed about it that much. Erasmus was great and everything worked out amazing, it was easy to make friends (because everyone is in the same position). I always say that in erasmus you get the biggest highs and lows in your life (for me more highs than lows). I miss it so much, but it is so amazing to meet people from different countries and I’m already planning to visit my friends in Greece and France.

[@ciaramccaffrey9868]

[@lecturesmartiennes]

I'm currently doing my Erasmus year in Valencia and I'm enjoying it sooo much !

[@LucyAlllan]

ahh so jealous!

[@leopoldalbarracin-castaney1120]

Very nice to see you again Lucy, me alegro de que te vaya bien en Valencia, sabía que España te iba a gustar!! Saludos!!

[@danihddez]

I want to go to abroad do my master, or at least to work a few months in UK or Ireland, but first of all getting the C1 😅. Valencia es, junto a Madrid, la mejor ciudad de España. Me alegro que lo disfrutases 🎉

[@clapivara0008]

hii! i’m really interested about Erasmus, and i loved your video about it, but since i’m on my last year of high school i wanted to know if you could do a video about how you did to get in Erasmus. ❤

[@LucyAlllan]

There’s really not much to say! It’s for European uni students only, and It will be something you get offered at university on probably 90% of courses:) sometimes it means taking an extra year at uni but normally you can study and get the credits you need as normal 🥰

[@clapivara0008]

@@LucyAlllan thank you so much for the information, i was a bit confused so it helped me a lot🖤

[@eleven4985]

I was only on short term erasmus plus project in spain and in my contry but yea it was awesome and i am going to go to universtitety in the next year and also going to erasmus and another short term project abroud.

Thats a big ass mic

[@johnlemon6629]

Im thinking about going erasmus to zaragoza for spring semester... how important and yet how easy is to learn spanish (im a complete beginner)... ?

[@Natti_2000]

more erasmus content😍

[@someonefromthere6238]

I want to go but I have a question about the money part, is it enough? Like from the grant or no? And how much money do you advise us to save? I noticed you havent mentioned the money part but you know some students end up not being able to do so many things because of the money part and is it easy to find a part time job there or is it not needed?

[@LucyAlllan]

So, such a great question! For British Council, you get a grant that is definitely enough to live off of, I always had money at the end. But if you’re studying and you only have erasmus then maybeeee it can be tight! I know people that we’re fine, but I would defo recommend coming with an extra €200 for each month you are there if your Erasmus grant is only €450 euros a month. Because I did English teaching, I got both grants

[@someonefromthere6238]

Suree thank youu so much for answering shortly I appreciate it ❤️

[@kathrynelizabeth1526]

How can I immerse myself the most in French when I go on my year abroad ?

[@danielrecker533]

By talking to french people and participating the the culture DUH

[@narcisstriblea4369]

I have been in an erasmus in valencia also and I really felt like you. Now I feel the "Post erasmus depression"=))))) and I'm thinking going back there with another erasmus but I dont really know if its the right decision or I should go anywhere else. What do you think?

[@chloed5968]

Hi Lucy, i’m wondering if you still didn’t have social media during your erasmus? And if no: did you feel like you were missing out? I’m going on erasmus next year and i have been off social media for nearly 3 years now, but i’m starting to think i want to be on it again as it is easier to connect with people that way? Love the video’s! :)

[@maestyasaes8368]

I don't have any social media, except WhatsApp, but I'm not missing anything. On WhatsApp, everything is happening, so I have no problem

[@Issoboss]

your gorgeous 😄 very helpful video thanks

[@LucyAlllan]

Glad it was helpful!

[@aliaguirre5]

hii, I would like to know if once you are in the Erasmus,what do you think if i can not stop about shorten Erasmus It's like I want to stay and travel around the country, but also I dont feel 100% confortable and sure I want to stay :):(

[@inesneves9535]

I will do Erasmus next semester and I am mixed feelings, I'm excited because I've always dreamed to do it but I'm afraid at the same time! Is this normal? Thank you for the video 😊

[@lolosobeh3100]

To which country are you going to have your Erasmus? I will be studying in Poland also as an Erasmus student

[@catarinaamaro5170]

hi! I have 1 question, can we apply for any internship through Eramus+ program or only select internships through a website?
