Erasmus+ is not only about the knowledge you will get at the university. It's like living a short, but completely different life in the middle of your full life. Everything has changed - the classes in which I study, my bed, which I used to sleep on, and the store closest to home.

  This is the same "clean sheet", although temporary - a new country, city, teachers, and people around. The opportunity to take, and start doing everything the way you now think is right. See yourself differently.

Erasmus+ is a space for students who want to try. Search for something new, and review your existing knowledge. For those who value experience.

These are acquaintances, many acquaintances. This is communication and cooperation. Not only with foreign students who also take part in the exchange - we communicated a lot with those who came to Poland to get an education from the first year receiving a diploma. From these students I could find solace when I was afraid of taking exams, or getting advice - they had already passed the subject. It is to find your soul mate - a person with whom you perfectly match your interests and aspirations. This is a feeling of childish comfort, freedom, and adult responsibility at the same time.

It is to feel how strong you have become and how many open doors are around you. Your sense of strength grows as soon as you try something new, unknown, and a little scary. After Erasmus, I consider other offers with greater enthusiasm and confidence – internships, conferences, and summer schools.

This period was full of joys and difficulties but left a pleasant aftertaste. I learned a lot, during the classes I took notes which I will use in the future. My specialty is veterinary medicine, it is difficult but exciting. Wrocław University of Natural Sciences impressed me with it is scale. There is a stable with a large number of farm animals - horses, cows, goats, and sheep, and territory with dogs that are bred and trained specifically for classes with students - patient and cute beagles, and a large clinic at the university, where appointments are conducted by narrow specialists - part of the classes took place in the offices of dermatology, cardiology, ultrasound diagnostics, etc.

I expanded my knowledge about farm animals, cats, and dogs. I learned how to perform various procedures that previously seemed, to me to be very difficult - endoscopy, biopsy, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and improved my skills in ultrasound diagnostics, and orthopedics. I gained a lot of theoretical and practical knowledge that will be useful to me when I start my practice as a doctor.

I tell everyone that I return home a different person and a different student. This exchange gave me much more than knowledge and notes from university. Erasmus+ showed me how much I can do.
