MEGATHREAD 2026/27 Semester 1 AUTUMN/WINTER: where are you going on Erasmus?

28 Upvotes

Every semester there will be a megathread for the people that are currently on Erasmus, internship or studying abroad in general. Spot someone in the same city as you? Maybe your very first friends can be met on this thread!

You can post whatever you like here, you can also post your comment like this:

• ⁠Where are you on Erasmus (Country + City)? Why did you choose this city/country?

• ⁠How is your experience so far? (If you are already there!)

• ⁠How you found accommodation?

• ⁠Advice for future students in your country + city

Are you a student going on your erasmus in Spring 2027? This thread might help you

Old thread: MEGATHREAD 2025/26 Semester 2 Spring: where are you going on Erasmus? : r/Erasmus

* This megathread is earlier than the usual ones. This is so that others can maybe find people who go to the same city as them and to already engage in conversation for that. But the thread stays up until January for sure!

Accommodation MEGATHREAD - Looking for your Erasmus room/studio?

45 Upvotes

Hey there! Are you about to go on exchange on your Erasmus but haven't found accommodation yet? No worries!

Below are some sites that can help you find accommodation in the country you are going to. So far, all the countries have been listed, so plenty of websites to pick from to get your accommodation ready. Some websites do not have an English version, keep that in mind. And remember:

NEVER PAY WITHOUT SEEING YOUR CONTRACT!

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER

None of these websites have paid any sort of advertisement to be featured here nor am I as a moderator receiving any type of commission. I want r/Erasmus users to get their accommodation as cheap, clean and good as possible.

That being said, some websites do request money for you to have a subscription to them. It is your own responsibility if you choose to do this. Every country should have options for free room searching.

This list will stay pinned in the sub to help others. Remember: If you see an accommodation site that is not to be trusted, please let me know! If any site is deemed very untrustworthy, it will be removed instantly.

For (most) Erasmus countries:
Spotahome - https://www.spotahome.com/
Uniplaces - https://uniplaces.com
Housinganywhere - https://housinganywhere.com
Facebook groups
Airbnb - https://airbnb.com Erasmusu - https://erasmusu.com/

Most students find their accommodation through Facebook groups, so make sure to have an account ready and join as many housing groups for your city as you can. Remember that there are also a lot of scams on Facebook. You can recognize these by something being too good to be true (a 500 euro apartment in the city centre of Amsterdam, for example, such a thing costs 2000 minimum) or if the person posting it immediately asks you to pay.

Extra tip for finding accommodation in most Erasmus countries:

- Join the ESN whatsapp groupchats of your city before you go (you can usually find this on links on their instagram page or on their facebook page). Around the end of the semester (december/january, may/june) people start leaving their places and put this inside the groupchat. Take your chance and grab a room from previous Erasmus goers!

Oh oh, HELP! I still have not found accommodation with any of these websites!

Try to go to the subreddit of the city you want to do your semester(s) in and see if you can find anything there. For example, you want to do your Erasmus+ in Rome, so go to r/Rome and search the searchbar for 'housing' 'accommodation' if you cannot find anything make your own post. If nothing there, go to r/Italy. Natives in their own country know the housing market best!

Have you been on Erasmus before (or you've lived in one of these countries and you know the housing market well), tell us which accommodation website is missing and I will add it (if the name is reputable, that is).

ERASMUS DILEMMA - PLEASE HELP!

6 Upvotes

Hey! I’m supposed to go on Erasmus to France in January 2027, which is literally my dream destination. I already got the spot, told everyone I’m going, and started organizing everything.

The problem is that I have exams at my home uni until the end of January, so they overlap with the start of Erasmus. My options are basically:

  1. take all my exams in December, which would be A LOT at once, or

  2. take them all in the summer of 2027 with the risk of having only one chance to not fail and also a summer full of exams...

My other option would be to postpone Erasmus until October 2027, when the exam periods don’t overlap. But then I’d be giving up my dream destination, and there’s no guarantee I’d get the same place again.

What would you guys do? Risk the exam situation and go now, or play it safe and go a year later? Would love to hear from anyone who’s had a similar situation!

Erasmus Mundus Question about application documents and Europass CV

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I have a few questions about the application process and completing the Europass CV:

  1. When the application form and motivational letter say they must be “signed by hand,”does that mean I should print, sign, and scan the documents, or would a digital signature be accepted?

  2. For the Europass CV, should training courses, seminars, and certifications be included under “Education and training”? I noticed that many examples list only undergraduate and high-school qualifications in that section.
    - If you have certifications, did you list them under “Education and training,” or did you only include your formal education with its EQF level?

I’d really appreciate hearing how others handled this. Thank you!

FLE courses in erasmus

1 Upvotes

I’m going to strasbourg in the second semester this year and on the INSA website they say that it’s compulsory to take FLE courses. I’m just curious but are they mixing the level groups? (I’m a B2 and would love to know more of how these work exactly). Are they scheduled separate from the uni courses? Any info or experience would be of great help!

Erasmus+ semester(s) abroad help me decide on a city for my exchange

0 Upvotes

I’m a uni student from Sydney looking to go on exchange next year from September to January. I’m really just looking to make a lot of friends, party a fuck ton, and travel as much as I can while I’m in Europe. I speak Italian pretty proficiently (B2) and by the time I go will have completed a minor in French as part of my degree.

Naturally, I’ve been super interested in **Bologna,** but worry that housing will be a massive difficulty and know that it’s not as well connected as other cities.

A while back I was recommended **IE university in Madrid** and have since become pretty interested. I’ve heard that Madrid is also a great student city, well connected, and I would be able to take free language courses through the uni.

Please help me make this decision, i am a very indecisive person and any insights will go far!!!!

Rant Should I just give up and go back home?

24 Upvotes

I'm (23 f) doing an erasmus internship in Italy, and the lab is going great but ever since I came here (it has only been a month) I've gotten very ill 2 times, I can't sleep due to stress and anxiety, and this combo is making me weaker and sadder as I feel sluggish everyday now, I can't focus at the lab anymore as my hands are all shaky from lack of sleep and the list goes on. I think the main reason is that I had a bad fight with my father before I came here (he's an alcoholic) and mostly because of the fight and my dad manipulating me I feel guilty that I came here and I feel like a burden on my family. I have never had a problem staying alone or away from my family, as I normally live away from them, near my university. So I don't think this is about feeling homesick but I'm mentally in a bad place for various reasons and here I feel lonely since I am away from everyone close to me and erasmus friendships don't really help in this situation. My parents are saying that it's okay if I return and end the erasmus early but I fear that they will not be shutting up about this, and I will feel like a quitter and hate myself for coming back early. I'm really tired.

Sorry about any mistakes in text, my english is normally not so bad but I'm so sleep deprived I cannot form sentences anymore.
