Participating in the Erasmus+ exchange program was one of the most transformative and valuable experiences for me. I had the opportunity to study for one semester at the Romanian-American University in Bucharest.
The teaching methods at the university was characterized by a modern, practice-oriented approach. Lectures were interactive and dynamic, providing students with the opportunity to actively engage in the learning process. Particularly important was the intercultural environment — working alongside students from different countries, exchanging ideas, and sharing diverse cultural perspectives. This experience further reinforced my belief that studying in an international, European environment is a path that significantly strengthens professional competitiveness.
An important aspect of the exchange program was the language experience. Classes were conducted in English, which greatly improved both my academic and professional communication skills. Additionally, living in Bucharest gave me the opportunity to become familiar with the Romanian language, which helped me better understand the local culture and environment.
This experience was not only an academic mobility opportunity but also a process of personal growth and discovering new possibilities, for which I am extremely grateful. I believe that a similar experience can be a significant step for every student, both in terms of professional and personal development.
I would like to extend my best wishes to the Romanian-American University, to my home University of Georgia, and to all future students who are participating or planning to participate in an exchange program.
