Our students had an unforgettable time at Games Without Borders in Reggiolo, Italy! 🇮🇹 Together with nine teams from across Europe, we competed in all kinds of fun challenges. From cooking traditional Italian dishes and water games to human bowling and Italian karaoke! 🎳 And the best.. we proudly finished in 3rd place! 🥉 But it wasn’t just about the competition - we enjoyed delicious food prepared by Italian nonnas, made new friends from all over Europe, and created sooo many memories! A huge thank you to Reggiolo and @games_without_borders team for making this incredible experience possible!!❤️ - @mmirejovsky @mkfelcman @purrtomas @valerie_kuncikova @_margitanova @sarka_korinkova Want to experience an adventure like this too? 👀 Keep an eye out for next year… maybe it could be you! 🌍 #italy #reggiolo #gameswithoutborders #experience

“A journey is a person in itself; no two are alike.” — John Steinbeck And that’s exactly what makes exchange so special. Some days are for exploring a new city, some for the beach, some for a match, a bike ride or just hanging out with people who somehow became part of your everyday life. And that might be the best part. 💖 #VSEStudyAbroad #StudyAbroad #ExchangeSemester #StudentLife #VSE

@mchangn spent her semester abroad in Eindhoven🇳🇱, and shared with us the 3 best and 3 worst parts of her experience✨ 3 Best: ✨Friends: Meeting all the friends from different cultures was really the best memory of my studies abroad. Friends made the whole experience much better! I spent a lot of time with them, whether working on school projects, hosting dinner parties, or traveling together to different cities or countries. I’m still in contact with most of them, so I hope I will visit them one day! ✨Cycling: The Netherlands has great cycling infrastructure, and it was really easy to get around the city. I started cycling after a really long time, so it took me a few days to get used to it, but hey I learnt how to drive with one hand, which I consider a success! ✨Traveling: The Netherlands is a small country, so you can travel to other cities easily by train in just an hour. Other countries are also nearby, so you can travel to Belgium, Luxembourg, or the United Kingdom as well. 3 Worst: ✖️Weather: My exchange was during the winter semester, so the weather was quite cold. However, it rained a lot, and the combination of biking and rain is not really the best. ✖️Budgeting: The cost of living is quite high there, so you should definitely have spare money with you. It is possible to find good deals for food like Saturday markets, but the prices are still quite expensive. I used all my scholarship just to pay rent! ✖️Public transport: Since most people have bicycles, the transport there is not really convenient. Sometimes it’s just faster to cycle or walk to the destination. The tickets are also very expensive. #erasmus #netherlands #studyabroad #internationalstudents #vsestudyabroad
