Why go on exchange in Europe
The pitch is density. Nowhere else can you base yourself in one city and rack up 10 countries by June without a single long-haul flight or visa run. The Erasmus machine is decades deep, so there's infrastructure for you specifically: buddy programmes, cheap trips, a ready-made social scene the day you land. Downsides are real. The famous cities (Barcelona, Amsterdam, Prague) are packed and pricey, and 'Erasmus bubble' is a genuine trap — you can spend five months only speaking English to other exchange students. You'll thrive here if you want breadth, spontaneity and people over a deep dive into one culture.
