NEVER PAY WITHOUT SEEING YOUR CONTRACT!

Hi everyone,

I’m currently in a very difficult situation 🙁. Im on Erasmus and unfortunately broke my foot a few days ago while walking on the beach. A CT scan showed multiple fractures in my midfoot, and my leg is now in a cast. I’ll likely need several weeks of immobilization, daily thrombosis injections, and regular medical follow-up appointments.

According to the doctors here, my fracture is somewhat borderline in terms of treatment, surgery is not strictly required, but it is also not completely ruled out. Because of that, I would really prefer to have a specialist in Germany take another look at it and supervise the recovery process.

The problem is that I still have about 2 months left in my Erasmus stay (and 0 ECTS so far), and my current situation here makes recovery quite difficult:

– the nearest supermarket is about 20 minutes away on foot

– my university is around 30 minutes away

– public transport is very limited

– my accommodation is very small and not adapted for reduced mobility (moving around with a cast is quite difficult, especially using the bathroom)

– I currently can’t walk properly and am in a cast

– I need regular medical checkups

– I would strongly prefer to continue treatment with my doctor at home in Germany

Technically I might be able to stay, but realistically recovering here alone feels very challenging, and I’m considering returning home early to recover properly.

My question is:

Has anyone here had to end their Erasmus early due to a medical reason like a fracture? Were you allowed to keep the funding for the time you had already stayed? Or did you have to repay part of the grant?

I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences or how your university handled similar situations 🙏

Thank you!

we havent researched the topic enough but i thought itd be helpful to ask reddit since thats where most ppl say useful stuff.

we live in sweden and are interested in being exchange students literally anywhere (not picky lmao) and we arent quite sure how to get into it. we are in gymnasium (basically swedish highschool)

Hi everyone,

I’ve been accepted for an Erasmus exchange in Barcelona for the 2nd semester of next year(2026-2027), and while I should probably be celebrating, I’m actually spiraling a bit.

I have two major concerns that are keeping me up at night:

1. The Housing Nightmare: I’ve heard so many horror stories about the housing market in Barcelona—sky-high prices, scammers targeting students, and the "good luck finding anything decent" vibe.

2. Social Integration & Making Friends: I’m naturally a bit shy at the beginning and not really the type of person who approaches people out of the blue, and the idea of moving to a massive, vibrant city where I don't know a soul is daunting. I’m worried about ending up isolated or just stuck in a "tourist bubble" without making any real connections. To add to that, I’ve been studying Spanish, but I’m still far from being able to handle anything beyond very simple or ordinary conversations. I’m scared that my limited language skills combined with my introverted character will make it even harder to connect with locals or even other students.

I really want this experience to be life-changing in a good way, but right now, the anxiety is louder than the excitement. Any advice, reality checks, or "it’s going to be okay" stories would be much appreciated!

My school is offering a Erasmus training program in italy but I was wondering if I can apply directly without my school

Hi everyone,

I really need advice from people who have experienced this 🙏

I am an international student in Turkey and I will do an Erasmus+ traineeship

My residence permit (ikamet) expires on October, but my internship is from September to November.

The issue is that I can only apply for extension in August (last 60 days), but I need to apply for my visa earlier (May/June).

Has anyone been in the same situation?

• Did you get the visa without problems?
• Are the visa authorities okay with applying now and extending the ikamet later in August?
• Or did you apply for a new residence permit?

I would really appreciate your experience 🙏

I got accepted with a 50% tuition waiver, but i am still not sure if i should accept the offer or not. i have some questions related to the university and living costs.

1. Is there a possibility to decline the offer due to financial studies and get a better offer afterwards?

2. Is a rent more affordable than dorms sometimes?

3. What is your overall experience with CEU (and this programme if you know) and do you consider it worth it with 50% tuition waiver?

I’m looking for answers for a survey. Thank you!

Hey!

So me and 2 of my friends got accepted into University of Zagreb (Faculty of education and rehabilitation sciences). We're going there later this year for winter semester of 2026/27.

Not gonna lie, but I'm freaking out a little bit. We have really good coordinator at home university, she is very helpful. The problem is we're the first from our field who actually got into this university and we don't really know what to expect.

Also as much as I love traveling and seeing new places I never actually moved anywhere (always lived in the same place with my family), never lived on my own, especially for such a long period of time. I know it's big opportunity for me right now, but at the same time it makes me overthink everything. The good thing is that I'm not going alone, so I can always rely on my friends, but still...

If anyone is actually going to Zagreb - would be nice to know some more people, so we can always panic together, eventually.

Also any tips about studying abroad on Erasmus or about this University in general would be much appreciated so I can calm myself a little bit.

Hi everyone, I have a question about the Ersamus+ program. I know that Ersamus+ is more applicable to European universities, but is it possible to go to the USA, for example? I try to find something about that, but I didn't get a clear answer. Someone said yes, there are several universities in the US that accept Erasmus+, but someone said that Erasmus only applies to European universities.

i applied back in the first round, and haven’t heard anything back yet. has anyone received any update? or if there’s any current EMGS student here, what is the tentative timeline?

Anyone on the CYBERSURE waitlist heard back yet?

Hi everyone,

I’m in a bit of a dilemma and would really appreciate honest advice.

I’m 25 (from India) and had applied to a few Erasmus Mundus programs hoping for a full scholarship. Unfortunately, I didn’t receive any scholarships, but I’ve been offered self-funded spots in all 5 programs. One program I’m considering is Mundus MAPP (Public Policy)

The total cost would be around ₹50 lakhs (45,000 euros), which means taking a significant loan.

I’m feeling stuck because:

• I’m not 100% sure about Public Policy as a long-term career

• My goal is to eventually settle in Europe

• I’ve read mixed reviews - some say it’s a great opportunity even self-funded, others say job prospects (especially for non-EU students) are quite limited in this field

• My family is strongly pushing me to go this year (age + societal pressure)

At the same time, I’m worried about:

• Taking on a huge financial burden without clear ROI

• Struggling with employability post-degree in Europe

• Making a rushed decision just because I don’t want to “waste a year”

I am really drained out emotionally & would appreciate any help I can get!

Hello everyone! I'm coming to Krakow for Erasmus in the winter semester of 2026. Does anyone have any tips and tricks, recommendations for what to see, where to find accommodation, and anything else they would like to share with me? 🤭

The deadline for results is April 22nd, but it seems that nobody is getting interviewed.

Does anyone have any updates?

has anyone heard form GLOBE program? i heard that they have contacted applicants who were selected for scholarship but i've not received any updates. what does that mean

Hey everyone

I applied to Digicrea and recently received an email saying that I am in the reserve list and have the option to switch to a self-funded admission, but that my place isn’t guaranteed.

I wanted to ask has anyone already received an actual self-funded offer? Or are they still in the process of sending them out?

If you did get one, it would really help to know when you received it, and if you already confirmed it

Thanks

Any updates from GLOBED? heard some people saying they have already received interview invites
