Laura from Spain

What was your main motivation to study at the HNU?

My main motivation was the variety of opportunities that Germany could offer me, such as the university and the different industries and companies all over the country.

What were your biggest concerns?

My greatest concern was not being able to form good friendships, but I must say that I was fortunate enough to find such an amazing group of people with whom I am still in contact.

Would you recommend a stay abroad? Why?

One hundred per cent! It's a great experience that you shouldn't miss out on if you feel it's a good opportunity for you. 

What did you learn from your stay abroad?

I have learnt a lot about myself and have grown due to the different circumstances. I have also confirmed to myself that I can live abroad without any problems.

Were your expectations met?

I tried not to have high expectations because it's always better to be surprised. Of course, I had planned to travel a lot through Europe, and fortunately, I was able to accomplish that.

Is there anything you would like to highlight about your experiences at the HNU?

I would like to highlight the many walks along the Danube and the tradition of going to Murphy's Karaoke every Thursday, as well as the travelling through Germany.
