1. LEARN A LANGUAGE
Nowadays, knowing languages is key to opening a gap in the world of work, so fluency and learning a language other than the native one is essential when it comes to finding a job in the future. The best way to learn languages, to do it in a fluid way and without having to study, is to live with it 24 hours a day. English is spoken in most of the Erasmus grant destination countries, so if you are lucky and do it well, you can return to Spain a year after your scholarship abroad, having learned two different languages almost perfectly. To do this, it is best not to surround yourself with Spaniards in the country where you are going to take your Erasmus scholarship. Rent an apartment with people of different nationalities, it is the best way to force yourself to learn a different language.
2. BE SELF-SUFFICIENT
Going to another country abroad where you do not know anyone, neither the language, nor the streets you walk on, nor the customs, is one of the best ways to become a self-sufficient person. This will not only help you learn to find your life by yourself , it will also make you feel more proud of yourself, have more confidence in yourself and, on the other hand, your self-esteem will grow, since you will see of all the things that you are capable of.
3. MEET NEW PEOPLE
Living in your day-to-day with people of different races, countries and languages will make your circle of contacts and friends expand considerably. This will cause a brutal change in your life, since you will know how different cultures act on certain occasions , it will allow you to debate with different mentalities and, even, you will be able to travel abroad almost throughout Europe with free residence, since you will meet people from all the countries of the European community.
4. UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCES
Only those who have gone on Erasmus to study know the amount of adventures you can experience for a year away from home. Erasmus does not only live on parties. Take advantage of your Erasmus scholarship year to travel through the different countries of Europe, the cities that are in the surroundings of the one you are staying and thus be able to enjoy a different year, in which adventure is the protagonist of your days and thus you have a thousand and one stories to tell your children and your grandchildren when you grow up.
5. EXPAND YOUR RESUME
When you go on Erasmus, it means that you have little left to finish your university degree, so you are about to enter the world of work. In case you didn’t know, including your Erasmus experience on your resume can open many doors for you. Those responsible for the selection of the Human Resources workers of the companies take into account those people who have lived this experience , since this means for them a great capacity for resolution and adaptation to different situations.
Although going on Erasmus is going to change your life and you are going to live great moments, you have to bear in mind that, especially at the beginning, it is a very hard experience, since you are going to a country far from home, with very different customs and away from yours , but this will serve to mature and be more autonomous.
