Sergio Martín

I have a lot of good memories of the Czech Technical University (CTU), but the first thing I have to emphasize is the Erasmus Student Network (ESN). Due to the nice and friendly atmosphere I could feel since the beginning.

I decided to help them with the organization of some activities like the orientation week, language meetings, sport events or trips. I’ve also been teaching my Spanish language to other students!

It has been an unbelievable experience for me that I recommend to every Erasmus student for sure!

Mikel Ogueata

Joining ESN CTU in Prague allowed me many things. At the beginning of the semester, it helped me with getting to know new people from all over the world. I started learning German (with a very nice teacher) in the Masarykova dormitory, I discovered lots of new places in Prague by attending the Café Lingea meetings, where my language skills were tested, and I learned to play voleyball.

I still keep many friends who I have visited/hosted after my Erasmus. That's one of the things I am most proud of – to be able to keep these friendships through time.

My advice for those starting an Erasmus is clear: Join ESN as soon as you get there, you won't regret it.
