“Im an architecture student in Ljubljana. I am also ljubljana native. the nightlife here is cheap and not very interesting. if you are into crash/ dive bars then okay.. but if you like electronic or lets say non commercial stuff its very difficult to find. all of thr restaurants close at 11pm tops only some tuskish kebab shops are open. overall nothing happens here unless your very lucky and prepared in advance”
“Iscte is known in Lisbon as the university with most parties. You can reach it by train + 15min walking; metro yellow line + 7min walking; metro blue line + 25min walking or bus + 30s walking. It is located in Cidade Universitária(University City) which is composed by many other schools (mainly from Universidade de Lisboa). It has a big variety of courses. And it is well recognized in Lisbon.”
“Transportation is amazing and the location is prime if you want to be in the city all the time (which you should). The weather can be a bit bad in the beginning of spring but Brussels is an amazing city to study.”
“the city is amazing, however it has some unsafe areas around Saint-Bruno Square, so awoid living there. The university for BIB exchange students was quite easy. Would highly recommend, if you like to ski or hike.”
“Modern campus, lot of sportfacilities (tennis, football, etc.)”
“The city life experience was great. But the weather in the winter semester is too windy and cold. The city is historical and beautiful. There is a lot of international students from all over the world and there is also a lot of comunities to be a part of. My uni helped me with acommodation and I got my own dorm room for 250€.”

Buses are awful (unreliable and take too long), trains are decent but strikes happen often -what's the best club?

“Cheapest bar - Barkowski and Lewanowski, so good Public transport - Metro Neighbourhood - Amager”

“People here are really nice and even if you can’t speak serbian they will help you with anything. Nothing is that strickt then in southern contries, people here are relaxed and very slow motion haha. Night life is amazing, bars are open everyday, clubs also. Different kind of music, people, drinks, whatever you want. If you want to have fun (and not study that much) Belgrade is the place to be!”
“I enjoyed my time at AAU. The teachers could vary from caring a lot about the students success to barely at all. Other than that my schedule was all 3 hour lectures once a week. It gave me plenty of time to explore and enjoy Prague. Prague itself is amazing, it's sop easy to get around the city, so much good food, cheap beer, lots of fun bars (Gabby's was my most frequent stop). The full time students grow close as the student body is really small. Overall it's a good school but really it's the city of Prague that makes it worth it.”
“I'm studying at the Modern Languages Center (CLM), a branch of the University of Granada. It's a great system for international students and I feel really supported in classrooms with students from all over the world. I take classes in Spanish, but I believe they offer courses in English, too. Granada is an adorable smaller town, but it has a ton to do. I'm a fan of the street art that covers every wall, the beautiful old buildings that still shine in vibrant colors, and the palpable, rich history. The Albaicín neighborhood, where the CLM is located, is historic and full of life. There are larger busses and a metro to get you around town, and Granada is special in having smaller busses to navigate the windy, cobblestone streets. It's not always the most accessible or easy to navigate, but I think the infrastructure is about as good as it can be given the age of the city. I leave in 5 weeks, and it will be a long time before I stop thinking this place. I'll especially miss the mountain views and the late nights (or early mornings, however you want to think about it) getting back from the clubs and bars. There is really something for everyone here. Granada can be quite alternative, but I believe every person could find something that speaks to them.”
“Loughborough is amazing if you’re into sports. It’s genuinely one of the best universities for it. The town and campus strike a nice balance. It’s small enough that you don’t feel lost or overwhelmed like you would in a big city, but still has enough going on that you won’t get bored. There’s a real sense of community, and the facilities are excellent. Whether you’re training or just hanging out, there’s always something worthwhile to do.”
“Recommend Vale accom for first year!! Amazing campus that thrives in the summer, so many great societies to be involved in, really great mental health services too!!”
“Great university, especially for sport. Very pretty city and campus with lots of nature. The quay is great for brunch and cute coffee spots. Lots of pubs with student deals and a great student bar on campus. Rent is a bit expansive from £650 to over £800 depending on your location. Victoria street, Culverland road and Springfield road are the best for students on main campus. the business school is very good and gives a vide variety of course options.”
“Neighbourhoods: Porta Romana or Susa Best cheap pizza: pizza e mozzarella”
“One bar near campus with cheap beers and food, the new campus is out of the way in Lisbon but is still accessible and it’s a great campus! Definitely recommend areas that are near a central metro line (blue/green)”
“I wish I had avoided high rise building accommodation like Central Village as it felt more isolationist. Accoms like Henry Price or Lupton always seemed more integrated and fun!”
“I would say plaza españa is nice place to live, you have close to Vialia and the city centre”
“-ovella negra - inman, csmag - 45€ for 3 months - downtown - example, l’hospitalet - wan, wlan - consum”
“Try the patatas bravas by "Segundo" and "pan y agua' to hang out by night! What I really appreciated about the city is the availability of the numerous sport centres also by night.”

Catholic University of Portugal
Pint 🍺: EUR 3.00
Wine 🍷: EUR 2.50
Incoming Erasmus: 787+ / year
“My Erasmus exchange at CLSBE has been the best experience of my life so far. I met a lot of great people who I genuinely consider lifelong friends. Católica is a strong choice for finance. Its courses are well structured, the professors are high quality, and the content goes in depth on key finance topics. Lisbon itself is a huge part of the experience. For me, it is a 10/10 city with a great climate, vibrant culture, and relatively cheap beer, which makes student life both enjoyable and accessible. There is always something happening, so it is easy to stay active and social. The student crowd in Lisbon strikes a good balance. People are focused when needed but also know how to have fun. There is a mix of relaxed and more outgoing, party oriented personalities. I would definitely recommend Erasmus Corner for drinks, and if you can, take advantage of trips, especially to Madeira.”

Loughborough University
Pint 🍺: EUR 4.35
Wine 🍷: EUR 5.30
Incoming Erasmus: 55+ / year
“If you aren’t obsessed with sport when you arrive at Loughborough, you probably will be by the time you leave. It’s the heart of the university’s identity, and the energy is infectious. Being the #7 university in the UK, it strikes a rare balance between world-class academics and an unmatched campus lifestyle. Campus & Facilities The campus is massive—it can take 50 minutes to walk from one side to the other—but it’s gorgeous and full of green spaces. The sports facilities are genuinely world-class; whether it’s the three incredible gyms, Padel, or the NFL and football pitches, everything is top-tier. There’s a reason so many Olympians train here. Academics & Support As a Marketing and Management student at the Business School, I’ve found the standard to be high. Difficulty depends on your course, but it’s always engaging. The staff are exceptional; from the admin teams to student welfare, everyone is genuinely helpful and kind. A massive highlight for me was the international focus—I even had the chance to study abroad in Portugal, which was a life-changing experience. Social Life & Town Loughborough is a small town, so the student community effectively takes over. This creates a huge pub culture—The Griffin is the best spot for a garden vibe. While the local nightlife isn’t "big city" standard, the Student Union is impressive (especially with the recent investment), and clubs like Echoes or the Union’s own nights are staples. For a massive night out, Nottingham is only 20 minutes away by train. For food, don't miss Yaki, Goodliffes and Rustic Kitchen. Practicalities Transport: The free campus shuttle buses are a lifesaver, and the town is very walkable/cycle-friendly. Plus, you’re perfectly connected to London and East Midlands Airport. Living: You can’t go wrong with halls on campus for the "fresher" experience, while moving into town later offers a more independent, chilled vibe. Affordability: Very reasonable for the UK; Pint £3-4, Meal under £15”

University of Ljubljana
Pint 🍺: EUR 2.80

“University of Ljubljana is a special place for me as my alma mater. The city itself is very pleasant and cozy, with friendly people and a good range of activities. At least at the Faculty of Economics, the academic workload was manageable. Overall, Ljubljana may not be the most flashy or intense destination, but it offers a comfortable and enjoyable student experience, with plenty to do and a strong social scene supported by many university-organized events. One of the biggest advantages is the student “boni” system, a food subsidy unique to Slovenia. It allows students to eat at restaurants at a significantly reduced price, often making it cheaper than cooking. There are also many fully covered meal options available. Student accommodation is very affordable, and tuition fees are relatively low even for non-EU students. If you are looking for a more relaxed, affordable, and well-balanced student experience, Ljubljana is a strong choice. Despite its size, Slovenia as a country also offers a lot to explore.”

“You are surrounded by students. Lots of bars and events, my favourite being the dj events at Cafe Apero. Super close to Brussels which is perfect for bigger events, concerts and site seeing. Travel links are good as has both Brussels International and Charleroi Airports nearby. I recommend living in university accommodation (my rec Paus College). I’ve rented a bike for the year which has been a super easy way to get around the city and into the countryside. Very bike friendly. Everyone speaks English so hardly ever a language barrier.”

I am also ljubljana native. the nightlife here is cheap and not very interesting. if you are into crash/ dive bars then okay.. but if you like electronic or lets say non commercial stuff its very difficult to find. all of thr restaurants close at 11pm tops only some tuskish kebab shops are open. overall nothing happens here unless your very lucky and prepared in advance”
“Iscte is known in Lisbon as the university with most parties. You can reach it by train + 15min walking; metro yellow line + 7min walking; metro blue line + 25min walking or bus + 30s walking. It is located in Cidade Universitária(University City) which is composed by many other schools (mainly from Universidade de Lisboa). It has a big variety of courses. And it is well recognized in Lisbon.”
“Transportation is amazing and the location is prime if you want to be in the city all the time (which you should). The weather can be a bit bad in the beginning of spring but Brussels is an amazing city to study.”
“the city is amazing, however it has some unsafe areas around Saint-Bruno Square, so awoid living there. The university for BIB exchange students was quite easy. Would highly recommend, if you like to ski or hike.”
“Modern campus, lot of sportfacilities (tennis, football, etc.)”
“The city life experience was great. But the weather in the winter semester is too windy and cold. The city is historical and beautiful. There is a lot of international students from all over the world and there is also a lot of comunities to be a part of. My uni helped me with acommodation and I got my own dorm room for 250€.”
“(Nova SBE only) -where's the best bar? Corner, Park Rooftop, Carmo Rooftop, Casa da Praia (rooftop house events during the summer) -what courses should you take? In Finance: Private Equity, Corporate Strategy and Transformation, Computer Programming, VC -what public transport is around? Buses are awful (unreliable and take too long), trains are decent but strikes happen often -what's the best club? K Urban (club with the best venue), Lux (house/techno) -which neighborhood is best to live in? For Nova SBE students, either close to uni or, if you prefer to be closer to the city, Belém/Alcântara/Cais do Sodré, which are closer to the train line that leads to Nova -what courses should you avoid? Quantsie courses if you’re not that into it -what's the best restaurant? It depends, but any ‘tasca’ will serve you amazing local food”
“Cheapest bar - Barkowski and Lewanowski, so good Public transport - Metro Neighbourhood - Amager”
“You can go to the beach on weekends—it's definitely the best part of being here.”
“was confused by public transport at first but easy to understand after. Go to Atico 11 for a great terrace view and get cheap food at any bodega/market. great city.”
“• u can do everything online • u have so many student hacks • food cupons u can activate them on “kampus” for free meals for students or at minimal price • u have colage dorms u can apply for free or very cheap 120€ • with student card h get discounts in fitness, free workouts… follow “obstudijske dejavnosti” on ig for very cheap student cooking, dancing classes, pub kvizes, movies,…”
“People here are really nice and even if you can’t speak serbian they will help you with anything. Nothing is that strickt then in southern contries, people here are relaxed and very slow motion haha. Night life is amazing, bars are open everyday, clubs also. Different kind of music, people, drinks, whatever you want. If you want to have fun (and not study that much) Belgrade is the place to be!”
“I enjoyed my time at AAU. The teachers could vary from caring a lot about the students success to barely at all. Other than that my schedule was all 3 hour lectures once a week. It gave me plenty of time to explore and enjoy Prague. Prague itself is amazing, it's sop easy to get around the city, so much good food, cheap beer, lots of fun bars (Gabby's was my most frequent stop). The full time students grow close as the student body is really small. Overall it's a good school but really it's the city of Prague that makes it worth it.”
“I'm studying at the Modern Languages Center (CLM), a branch of the University of Granada. It's a great system for international students and I feel really supported in classrooms with students from all over the world. I take classes in Spanish, but I believe they offer courses in English, too. Granada is an adorable smaller town, but it has a ton to do. I'm a fan of the street art that covers every wall, the beautiful old buildings that still shine in vibrant colors, and the palpable, rich history. The Albaicín neighborhood, where the CLM is located, is historic and full of life. There are larger busses and a metro to get you around town, and Granada is special in having smaller busses to navigate the windy, cobblestone streets. It's not always the most accessible or easy to navigate, but I think the infrastructure is about as good as it can be given the age of the city. I leave in 5 weeks, and it will be a long time before I stop thinking this place. I'll especially miss the mountain views and the late nights (or early mornings, however you want to think about it) getting back from the clubs and bars. There is really something for everyone here. Granada can be quite alternative, but I believe every person could find something that speaks to them.”
“Loughborough is amazing if you’re into sports. It’s genuinely one of the best universities for it. The town and campus strike a nice balance. It’s small enough that you don’t feel lost or overwhelmed like you would in a big city, but still has enough going on that you won’t get bored. There’s a real sense of community, and the facilities are excellent. Whether you’re training or just hanging out, there’s always something worthwhile to do.”
“Recommend Vale accom for first year!! Amazing campus that thrives in the summer, so many great societies to be involved in, really great mental health services too!!”
“Great university, especially for sport. Very pretty city and campus with lots of nature. The quay is great for brunch and cute coffee spots. Lots of pubs with student deals and a great student bar on campus. Rent is a bit expansive from £650 to over £800 depending on your location. Victoria street, Culverland road and Springfield road are the best for students on main campus. the business school is very good and gives a vide variety of course options.”
“Neighbourhoods: Porta Romana or Susa Best cheap pizza: pizza e mozzarella”
“One bar near campus with cheap beers and food, the new campus is out of the way in Lisbon but is still accessible and it’s a great campus! Definitely recommend areas that are near a central metro line (blue/green)”
“I wish I had avoided high rise building accommodation like Central Village as it felt more isolationist. Accoms like Henry Price or Lupton always seemed more integrated and fun!”
“I would say plaza españa is nice place to live, you have close to Vialia and the city centre”
“-ovella negra - inman, csmag - 45€ for 3 months - downtown - example, l’hospitalet - wan, wlan - consum”
“Try the patatas bravas by "Segundo" and "pan y agua' to hang out by night! What I really appreciated about the city is the availability of the numerous sport centres also by night.”

“My Erasmus exchange at CLSBE has been the best experience of my life so far. I met a lot of great people who I genuinely consider lifelong friends. Católica is a strong choice for finance. Its courses are well structured, the professors are high quality, and the content goes in depth on key finance topics. Lisbon itself is a huge part of the experience. For me, it is a 10/10 city with a great climate, vibrant culture, and relatively cheap beer, which makes student life both enjoyable and accessible. There is always something happening, so it is easy to stay active and social. The student crowd in Lisbon strikes a good balance. People are focused when needed but also know how to have fun. There is a mix of relaxed and more outgoing, party oriented personalities. I would definitely recommend Erasmus Corner for drinks, and if you can, take advantage of trips, especially to Madeira.”

“If you aren’t obsessed with sport when you arrive at Loughborough, you probably will be by the time you leave. It’s the heart of the university’s identity, and the energy is infectious. Being the #7 university in the UK, it strikes a rare balance between world-class academics and an unmatched campus lifestyle. Campus & Facilities The campus is massive—it can take 50 minutes to walk from one side to the other—but it’s gorgeous and full of green spaces. The sports facilities are genuinely world-class; whether it’s the three incredible gyms, Padel, or the NFL and football pitches, everything is top-tier. There’s a reason so many Olympians train here. Academics & Support As a Marketing and Management student at the Business School, I’ve found the standard to be high. Difficulty depends on your course, but it’s always engaging. The staff are exceptional; from the admin teams to student welfare, everyone is genuinely helpful and kind. A massive highlight for me was the international focus—I even had the chance to study abroad in Portugal, which was a life-changing experience. Social Life & Town Loughborough is a small town, so the student community effectively takes over. This creates a huge pub culture—The Griffin is the best spot for a garden vibe. While the local nightlife isn’t "big city" standard, the Student Union is impressive (especially with the recent investment), and clubs like Echoes or the Union’s own nights are staples. For a massive night out, Nottingham is only 20 minutes away by train. For food, don't miss Yaki, Goodliffes and Rustic Kitchen. Practicalities Transport: The free campus shuttle buses are a lifesaver, and the town is very walkable/cycle-friendly. Plus, you’re perfectly connected to London and East Midlands Airport. Living: You can’t go wrong with halls on campus for the "fresher" experience, while moving into town later offers a more independent, chilled vibe. Affordability: Very reasonable for the UK; Pint £3-4, Meal under £15”

“University of Ljubljana is a special place for me as my alma mater. The city itself is very pleasant and cozy, with friendly people and a good range of activities. At least at the Faculty of Economics, the academic workload was manageable. Overall, Ljubljana may not be the most flashy or intense destination, but it offers a comfortable and enjoyable student experience, with plenty to do and a strong social scene supported by many university-organized events. One of the biggest advantages is the student “boni” system, a food subsidy unique to Slovenia. It allows students to eat at restaurants at a significantly reduced price, often making it cheaper than cooking. There are also many fully covered meal options available. Student accommodation is very affordable, and tuition fees are relatively low even for non-EU students. If you are looking for a more relaxed, affordable, and well-balanced student experience, Ljubljana is a strong choice. Despite its size, Slovenia as a country also offers a lot to explore.”

“You are surrounded by students. Lots of bars and events, my favourite being the dj events at Cafe Apero. Super close to Brussels which is perfect for bigger events, concerts and site seeing. Travel links are good as has both Brussels International and Charleroi Airports nearby. I recommend living in university accommodation (my rec Paus College). I’ve rented a bike for the year which has been a super easy way to get around the city and into the countryside. Very bike friendly. Everyone speaks English so hardly ever a language barrier.”
