Farage will be livid. Something that benefits the UK? From the EU? He won’t stand for it.
Oh no, the country will be full of military age foreigners.
Ah, perfectly timed. Brexit was my first vote, so my age group is in a lovely little pocket where we were deprived of these sorts of benefits that we’re now getting back, but will now be too old to use them.
Thanks, boomers.
(To be clear this is good news)
What a waste of money. What British student is actually interested in hanging out in cool cafés with cheap drinks, pairing up with the local talent, and generally having fun, exploring a new culture and learning stuff? What would possibly draw them to Rome or Paris when they could do a much more pragmatic exchange to Nottingham university instead?
Great news. I know us 30 somethings are bitter old gits because all we’ve known in adult memory is a shit Britain (2010-2025) but this is fantastic for younger people to give them a bit more positive experience of life which is integral to the future.
Those Erasmus students and those connections that will make the lifeblood of the few gen Z’s and Gen A’s and later Gen B’s that can form a progressive core to the country to counter when far right populism has reached its zenith under the climate of fear thats gripped everyone else.
They need hope , those youngsters. They need something positive.
Reversing the whole thing one bad decision at a time.
Step by step, ooh, baby
Gonna get to you, girl
Step by step, ooh, baby
Really want you in my world
Can’t see how this could be a bad thing. It really broadened my experience, culturally and academically. Plus, it makes people both dies realise that the exchange country is full of human beings. One of the perceived benefits when it was established to link countries (alongside city twinning) and reduce national tensions likely to lead to war.
Good news and hopefully we can get back into Erasmus.
Yes, yes, parties and all; personally it helped me rediscover what I liked about my degree. And gave me confidence that I didn’t suck at it, I was just bad at closed book exams. Plus it helped me stand out when applying for jobs afterwards.
Not to mention the friends I met along the way.
It was definitely a great experience and something I was disappointed was taken away from young people.
If you could do it, go. If I could do it all over again, definitely would in a heartbeat.
I’m sure someone is gonna complain about how this contributes to the ‘brain drain’ LOL
But I was told Turing Scheme was a million times better and anyone with a choice would obviously prefer Ghana (if the host university is graceful enough to waive tuition – which is not paid by Turing) to France or Germany. Silly me for believing it!
