The Erasmus exchange program allows European university students to study abroad at participating universities. It aims to enrich students' academic and personal lives through international experiences. While studying abroad can be challenging due to culture shock, learning new slang, and social adjustments, developing patience, persistence, and a positive attitude can help students integrate into the host culture and make the most of their Erasmus experience.
