Erasmus vs job

I am a CS Master student and I recently got a great job at a local company. I am really happy with salary and everything. Before getting the job, I applied for Erasmus without much hope that I would be accepted, and as it turns out I am! Now I am in huge dilemma. I don't know if I should quit my job and do Erasmus since I won't have more opportunities to do so, and I always wanted to do it. My life is currently a bit boring and I am overwhelmed by both working and studying. I am worried that I will come back from Erasmus and won't be able to find job as near as good as this one or any at all, since IT companies are currently not employing as much as before. Please help!

How did you brought up that even though you have a scholarship you would still need financial support from your parent(s)?

I’m about to go and study my MA with an Erasmus Scholarship. I’m currently working/saving up for when I move and to cover some expenses I need before i leave (like getting new glasses, buying suitcases, etc.) to take that burden off of my parents. But being honest in my home country I am used to a certain lifestyle which I can not maintain in Europe with the scholarship money so I need to still be supported with some money to be able to maintain my lifestyle. How have you brought that up with your parents or parent?

Need advice!

Hi , I'm a 17F from pakistan . I got admission in Business Administration in NUST islamabad , which is one of the best institutions in the country . Now here i have two options , i can either complete my full bachelors degree from pakistan and then go for masters to Germany or do one year from here (13 years of education) and complete my bachelors from germany. Here are the pros and other factors to consider:

Pros of staying in pakistan for bachelors: -It's the best university this country has to offer. -Since i havent ever lived by myself , I'll gain social skills while living among people of my own country. -I plan to do a minor in AI or some other field , which i dont know will be possible in Germany. -I have many internship opportunities here for 3rd and 4rth year. -I also plan to do some undergrad exchange programs to gain exposure since this uni has many affiliations with unis abroad. -I wont have to work here in pakistan and can spend more time focusing on studies and other activities (there are many societies in the uni ). -Won't have to submit the block account amount and the expenditure will be relatively low . -food and housing are all provided by the university dormitory. -Less struggle overall and more in my comfort zone.

Pros of doing my bachelors in Germany: -Exposure and skill polishing and personality grooming. -Work experience -independence and better education -More future opportunities -possibly get a permanent residency , if i stay for masters too

  • more freedom since its a better country overall.

-will have to figure out my own housing and food.

Now the biggest con i see is first , i will have to work alongside my degree in germany which can get tough and second, even though i can adjust relatively easy (i have many international friends) , i still am anxious about the people in germany and if its the right desicion. The language aint a issue cause i can reach german proficiency of atleast B1 (ill try B2) , in a year. Convincing my parents will be a bit of a hard part as well, but i want honest opinion about what is better.

Erasmus to Liverpool, student visa

I am in Italian student that in September is supposed to go study in Liverpool at LJMU. I’m staying there for a year so I need to request a study visa. Can someone confirm me that “study visa” and “entry clearance” are the same thing? Also, can someone tell me if I actually need any other document in addition to my passport and the CAS (confirmation of acceptance for study)?

How do exams work if the classes are taught in a foreign language?

When applying for erasmus in a non-english speaking country do they automatically assign you with a tutor who speaks English? Or how does it work?

Hi all! I got into IMBRSea and will be starting in Faro at UAlg. Does anyone have any leads/advice on housing? I am trying student.com, uniplaces, casita, airbnb, etc but the prices are pretty high…I also reached out to the school for university accommodations.

MSc program QUARMEN UofT

I'm hoping to one day apply to the UofT Dual Degree Program: Master of Science in Physics (University of Toronto) / Master in Physics (Sapienza Università di Roma) / Master in Physics (Université Paris-Saclay)

I was just wondering if there are any webinars or ways I can reach out to alumni to ask about the program and application procedure. I looked around on the UofT School of Graduate Studies for Physics and the QUARMEN website (https://master-quarmen.eu/) and the flyer but I'd like to really hear from someone who has experienced it.

As well, I'm having trouble interpreting the prerequisites for first semester at Sapienza Univeristy provided here (https://master-quarmen.eu/apply/admission-criteria) hopefully y'all can help :D

Short term rent - am I getting scammed?

Hello,

I'm a graduate student and I'll be spending the summer at an Erasmus+ internship in Lodź. The student dorms are cheap, but I prefer having my own kitchen, toilet etc. so I decided to try and look for a 3-month lease via Erasmus Facebook groups.

One user gave me contact to their former landlord (or that's at least what they said. It might've just been his alternative account), everything was going well - he sent me the address and pictures, the monthly rent is reasonable (400€ with 450€ security deposit). I agreed to the reservation and told him to prepare the Lease Agreement (after sending necessary personal details).

This is where I got really suspicious - the Agreement was sent for me to sign, but it's formatting is weird and not like an official document at all (maybe I just have high expectations), also with some typos. I haven't signed it yet, but they're already rushing me to make a payment (I got three emails in a row). This has got to be a scam, right? They are surely hoping to force me into sending the money (via some "Family & Friends" paypal method) before the contract is finished. Can someone tell me I'm onto the right track? Or am I just being too paranoid? Will appreciate all of your opinions. :) I think I'll just cancel the entire deal because something feels off to me.

Proof of accomodation for Lisbon Visa

Hi, I am from India.

I have got a place in Lisbon and the landlady does not want to send a contract(as she is not tech savvy and old). She is suggesting if I wish to get a contract, i should book her place from uniplaces, which i don’t want to do, as it has additional fees.

Can you tell me if a mail from her mentioning I will be staying at her place suffice?

IMESC - post masters prospects

Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone here is currently studying/ already graduated from the IMESC EMJMD program? I am interested in a career in the energy field and was wondering what my job prospects look like after masters. I am not interested in doing a PhD at the moment and so I’m aiming for a masters program that will allow me to pursue industry after completion. I’ve also considered AMIR as an option. Any comments on this would be great thanks :)

Also not sure if this is relevant but I’m also looking for jobs in France after grad since my partner is a French citizen and I’m tired of the long distance :’(

Erasmus in Bydgoszsz WSG

Hello, I chose WSG University in Bydgoszsz (Wyższa Szkoła Gospodarki w Bydgoszczy) with Erasmus for the fall semester. After the nomination process (about a week ago), I did not receive any e-mail from the school. Additionally, the resources I can access in English on the university's website are limited and im struggling to find information about topic because i cant read Polish. Are there any friends who have gone through this process before and have knowledge about the school who would like to share their experiences on this subject?
