Many foreign students, mostly from Spain, but also from Brazil, Germany, England ... - I chose Italy because I have always wanted to visit that country.

Before butler the contest I was talking with a friend and she recounted positive experiences of their colleagues butler who went through Erasmus in Austria and has suggested that the two of us and sign up. I did some studying on the Internet what the options are and eventually sent the application butler - said the Tonka. I start your Erasmus experience began, butler however, with minor difficulties. - The first day was tiring because the time lasted nearly 24 hours, but when we finally arrived in Siena, dorm where we were located, we found relatively quickly. Despite initial difficulties and shock due to a new city and accommodation, we were able to quickly get used to and it's been great. On the third day, after we settled, we went to the Office of International Cooperation, where we explain the procedures and obligations that we need to fill in lectures, as well as other formalities.
