I loved going on Erasmus

Very good university! I came here as a Moldovan student and along the years I had a lot of opportunities. I completed two Erasmus + mobilities, I had access to lots of useful books, the library is very well equipped. There are lots of options when it comes to food or recreational areas.

Wouldn't recommend Politehnica University of Bucharest

Wouldn't recommend. If I had to choose again my faculty, I would have chosen something more suitable to my area of interest, and a much people oriented place. I would advise the newbies to think about what they wanna do in life, what university suits their needs best.
