Many books (especially in foreign languages) are available in large libraries, which very often are opened for students from abroad. Studying on Socrates Programme allows you to use all the library collections without paying for it;
b. an opportunity to go to classes of famous foreign lecturers. Going away for Erasmus Programme you have a right to attend for lectures at the given university
c. going for Erasmus it is a perfect occasion to learn a foreign language. You have no other choice than to speak the language of the country that you are in. Additionaly as a person who goes for studies in Erasmus programme, you have language courses at the university that you’re going to. A half year or a full year of studies is an excellent occasion for a language preparation.
d. Erasmus is a perfect occasion to know new people. Every year thousands of people who take part in the programme of exchange with the universities. Erasmus students form groups, which help each other, prepare common meals, parties. Those contacts survive the programme and they stay for the rest of the life.
