Erasmus+ experience stories

Suada Isufi on her study experience at LBTU

My name is Suada Isufi and currently I am studying in the Agricultural University of Tirana, scientific master. Last academic year I had the possibility to be part of an Erasmus exchange student in LBTU for four months.

In order to graduate for my masters studies I had to take seven courses in LBTU and there  was really good for me to see this kind of subject in another point of view.suada

I wish every student should have such kind of experience to develop their personal and professional skills.

It was never hard to adopt even in the first days when you don't know anyone. We had a good time with students, professors and locals.

ESN staff was all the time in touch with us to fulfill all our needs and misunderstandings, they helped us in official and not official ways.

This kind of experiences help everyone to understand their self-better and helps a lot in self-reflective. Going abroad a semester or two I something that in my country is really preferred by companies that offers good positions of jobs.

Everyone should focus in their self-growth in different fields, they have the possibility to see different cultures different set of mind from all over the world.

For me personally it was one of the best things that ever happened to me. LBTU really exceed all my expectations about everything. I got there in the end of January till beginning of June, I have four awesome moths. The social life was very active for the young students and international ones, we really never could rest because of going out and different activities in university campus.

LBTU was my first choice for Erasmus, I wish I could have a second semester there with all those great people there.
