Alexandru Ioan Cuza University, Romania, Erasmus+ Program
In life, we often have to make important decisions that will further affect our future. Exactly one year ago, I was faced with a similar decision when I was thinking about the exchange program offered by the University of Georgia and the student days spent at one of the best universities in Romania. What I have seen and experienced for months has exceeded expectations. I spent unforgettable days in Romania as an international student. The Erasmus + exchange program allowed me to meet students from different countries, meet future colleagues, take on new challenges, step out of my comfort zone, and engage in a new rhythm of life. The different teaching styles and the advice of experienced lecturers gave me the opportunity to grow professionally significantly. I think that all students should definitely use all such opportunities to remember the student years with the utmost satisfaction after years. I would like to thank the University of Georgia once again for this opportunity and for the trust that I felt on a daily basis from the University.

One of the most correct and independent decisions I made 4 years ago was to choose the Law School of the University of Georgia. I think the opportunities that UG has given me have played a huge role in my personal as well as career development. When I applied for the exchange program, the University of Sapienza (Università di Roma - La Sapienza) was my only choice, as I knew for sure that this university could offer the highest quality teaching and extensive experience; It is one of the largest, best and oldest universities in Europe, with a history dating back to the 14th century. European Studies, which I studied in the exchange program, is an international, interdisciplinary and research-oriented master's program. Combining modern methods and approaches of law and economics, the program aims to train high-level professionals who will work in a global-international, economic and legal context and contribute to the development of European integration. Studying abroad was unforgettable with the emotions, difficulties, experiences, diversity and innovations that allowed me to: get involved in the rhythm of a new life, get to know a foreign culture, and most importantly, get an academic education of Western standards. This period made me very independent and made it clear to me that it is possible to overcome any barrier with hard work and diligence, which is why I advise everyone to try it all for themselves.
