But not the UK – a lookback on how the European exchange programme is doing, twenty-one years after its creation
The Erasmus programme was first introduced in 1987 to increase student mobility within the European community. It largely succeeded in its aim, with about 90% of all European universities participating in the programme and one and a half million of Erasmus students. Yet where do all these students chose to go to? Which countries attract them the most?
Of all Erasmus destinations, the most popular by far is Spain, which welcomed 26, 600 students in 2006 (about 20% more than the second most popular country, France). Spanish universities host the highest numbers of Erasmus students , and Spain is one of the few European countries who receives more than it sends students. Yet, Spain has only become this popular since the past five years; in 2000, it was still lagging behind France and the UK. It is claimed that its Erasmus population only started to take such proportions after the movie l'Auberge Espagnole by French director Cedric Klapisch was released in 2002.
Aude Verbeke, a Belgian Erasmus student in Spain, believes that this popularity comes from the festive reputation of Spain. ‘For many students, Spain is synonymous with parties and sun. Some are only expecting that from their Erasmus exchange. I was told that Spanish universities were easy and that there would be a lot of free time. Yet I had to work more than what I thought.’ Manuella Portier, a French Erasmus student in Spain, agrees that Spain is popular ‘because of its climate, its festive side and its language. The Auberge Espagnole contributed a lot to its reputation. Spanish is also one of the most learned languages in the world, and it might be easier for someone to leave in a country whose language he knows.’
Learning or improving a language is indeed one of the main motivations behind Erasmus exchanges identified by the Erasmus Student Network (ESN); therefore it comes as no surprise that other popular European destinations include France, Germany, the United Kingdom and Italy, whose languages are widely learned. These countries respectively welcome between 15, 000 and 20, 000 Erasmus students a year, a number which has been on the rise for the past decade.
The United Kingdom is an exception to that regard. The Erasmus programme seems to be losing its popularity at a high speed, with an ever-decreasing number of Erasmus exchanges from and to the UK. Besides, British Erasmus students have always been in small numbers, most of them choosing France as a destination.
Another particularity is the success of Germany among central and eastern European students, especially from Poland and the Czech Republic. The main reason is that many Czech and Polish students regard German as an important language to speak. According to the ESN, they are more concerned than other European students about the positive consequences of an Erasmus exchange on their future career.
For the moment, the countries that attract the least Erasmus students are the new member states of the European Union, like Bulgaria and Romania. This is because most of them have only been part of the Erasmus programme since the late nineties and did not have much time to develop its implementation. Yet the odds are slowly changing. Poland and Czech Republic, for example, are starting to attract more and more German Erasmus students.
Benjamin Feyen, president of the Erasmus Student Network in Germany, observes ‘a slow change in the opinion of many German students: depending on the size of the city and the reputation of the university, central and eastern European destinations become increasingly popular - including their languages. Since the EU enlargement in 2004, the former eastern bloc states are not really considered as such anymore. But doubtlessly more still has to be done to promote those countries among German students.’ Perhaps there only needs to be another ‘Auberge Espagnole’ in one of these countries…

You may think this is a joke, but I have heard there is the Latin translation for Erasmus meaning it is orgasmus which is the orgasm in Latin. I have no intention of harming the reputation of Erasmus, I am just asking because many times I have encountered this opinion. Has anyone also heard that?
Erasmus is often called Orgasmus (in Spain at least) because of all the partying done and all the fun had by the Erasmus students, it's no translation of anything.
Hahahaha. I never heard something like that, I think this is a total joke! I don't know how you could fall for it. Erasmus is a decent program and helps lots of international students to discover more and become well-prepared specialists and citizens!
It seems not only me has come across this funny definition, lol.
The name is given because one man, Desiderio Erasmus of Rotterdam.

This article has changed its tone and gone through a romance of its own since I first left for the USA in August last year. I started out as a hopeless romantic, but with editing became more cynical about the trials and tribulations of long distance love. Many people leave for their international adventure in love with someone at home. Some return eager to rekindle the fire, others fear encountering what’s left of it. Nobody prepares you for the strain your lovesick heart will feel on a year abroad. Distance might make the heart grow fonder, but it also makes the string between you thinner – and when a string is pulled too tight, it snaps. I am no expert in romance, so take what I say with a pinch of salt – I am not in your relationship – but maybe my somewhat newly adopted realism towards stretched-out love might be useful.
This is your time to shine, baby. You’ve put in the work, now take the rewards that come with a year abroad. It’s a challenge, but love or hate the experience, you will learn so much about yourself, and dare I say, come back a changed person. Your relationships shouldn’t hold you back – fully immerse yourself in the experience, sexperience, or whatever takes your fancy, watch your horizons expand and dive into the colours they display. Look after your heart and do what is best for you among the complicated vines of romance.
PLAN and – this is vital – be realistic
Speaking of complications, college is MANIC enough without uprooting your ass to a foreign country. If you are hell-bent on making long distance work, talk to your partner and put a plan in place. Talking about your emotional needs, while it might raise uncomfortable thoughts of one’s own vulnerability, is essential in making the time apart fair on one another without making the romance seem too ‘plastic.’ Touch starvation, calling, care should be taken when dancing between the lines of consistent and dependant that romantic relationships tend to tread on. Talk about open relationships, going on a break, or just going your separate ways, being thankful for the time you had together.
For all those single ladies, gents and people who gender bend…
You may find your lilting Irish accent has made you a shag-magnet…congratulations, welcome to phase 1 of Erasmus Orgasmus: The opportunity to sex it up with a wide variety of individuals, and leave. Romance that isn’t in your lingua franca can be challenging so here are some tips:
Consent – ask for permission no matter what you’re doing and know how to say yes and no in the language of your partner.
Wear a hard hat – whatever kind of heavy machinery (or light, we don’t discriminate) you’re operating, make sure you’re protected; condoms, the pill, the bar, the coil – stock up and prepare before you go abroad just to be safe.
Here for a good time, not a long time – a mantra to remember while abroad. At the end of the time abroad, you’ll have to return to UCC, so should you fall for some exotic god abroad, think about long distance, and re-read this article! People have feelings; don’t play with theirs if you also don’t want your own being played with.
FRIENDS. THEY EXIST. Keep your pals in the loop and let them know how you’re getting on. If shit hits the fan, you know you won’t be alone when you come back.
It is very lonely when you are a time zone behind, and an ocean away. It can be easy to fall out of love with other people, but remember through it all not to fall out of love with yourself while you’re in the midst of rediscovering who you are. At the end of the day, que será será – what will be, will be. You aren’t the only person who is nursing a heart of two minds. If it breaks, it can be healed, and the cracks, well, they just show you felt something once.

Family! I’m going on Orgasmus… I mean Erasmus!

Some call the famous Erasmus student exchange program ‘Orgasmus’. No need for a big explanation I guess… If Erasmus is not only about sex and parties, they certainly amount for a great deal of it! Only the most introverted and the deadly serious ones will not have enjoyed some kind of transcultural physical acquaintance during their exchange.
I don’t know who coined the term, but I think it’s brilliant! For some, when they say: “Hey, I’m going on Erasmus! It’s going to be great!” what they mean is “I’m going to learn a new language, see a different academic system and meet wonderful people from all over the world!”, I’m not saying this statement is a lie, but for some this might be only half of the truth. Let me explain myself here. For others, when they happily announce that they’re going on Erasmus, what they really mean is: “Hey, I’m going on Erasmus and I’m going to party like an animal, hook up with every local (or non local) and taste every beer that the city has to offer”. Reader, I am sorry if you’re a mom or a dad with a kid on Erasmus (you might not want to keep reading), but this is probably what your son or daughter will be doing in the following months.
All those hottie Swedish snygging , those irresistible Mediterranean suntanned Italian ragazzos , all the classy French femme fatale (oh là là), the Iberian Spanish machos , the freckled cutie British men… Let’s admit it, we all want a piece of it.
We turn into predators ready to hunt our next prey (or at least trying to catch the fish of the day). Or maybe we don’t make any effort, can’t be bothered, and might as well just become the prey. All those hottie Swedish snygging , those irresistible Mediterranean suntanned Italian ragazzos , all the classy French femme fatale (oh là là), the Iberian Spanish machos , the freckled cutie British men… Let’s admit it, we all want a piece of it. And we finally have our chance to indulge in our darkest fantasies. But hey, isn’t this a good form of European and international integration?
Some suitcases may be packed with clothes, books and other personal items, but many others will probably include a pack of condoms, pills to fight morning hangovers and a bottle or two of our favourite liquor purchased at the airport duty-free.
During these infamous Erasmus days we will witness morning walk of shames (or experience one or two of them in our own flesh), we might wake up with a stranger next to us, decide not to go to class because we are way too hungover to get out of bed or become loyal customers to the fast food restaurants we have nearby.
Erasmus = sex, alcohol and rock and roll
I’m pretty sure that you understand the connotation of the word by now. For many, Erasmus is an opportunity to free the tiger we have inside. Erasmus = sex, alcohol and rock and roll. Because if you don’t hook up with anybody it’s because you either don’t want to or you’re too shy to try.
And when we come back home, we might have gained some kilos, struggled during finals and roughly managed to get a “pass” in our grades and brought back some photos that we don’t want our parents to see. But no one could ever erase the memories of those crazy nights under the flickering lights of the endless list of nightclubs we’ve partied at. That is of course unless the level of Jägermeister in your blood was higher than your body could handle, which probably means that you have a couple of “memorable” nights you’d hardly remember if it weren’t for the photos on Facebook (you’ve begged your Erasmus friends to take down a couple of times).

Russia continues its offensive in Eastern and Southern Ukraine, while Ukraine intensifies its campaign to retake the occupied territories. Six months after the outbreak of the war, there is no end in sight for now. The war has displaced millions of people who even fled the country, shaken the existing international order, raised the spectre…
On July 11th, 2022, I was invited to attend “Russia and the Geopolitics of Borders and Migration” a conference held by the State University of Paraíba in Brazil, in partnership with the Research Project “Citizenship between Walls” [Cidadania entre Muros] that studies the phenomenon of ‘wall-building’, a geopolitical event that leads to the creation of…
J’ai eu la chance d’effectuer deux semestres d’Erasmus consécutifs. Le premier en Italie, à Forli (à 70 km de distance de Bologne) et le suivant en Angleterre à Stoke on Trent. Je pense que de toutes mes études universitaires cette année là a été la plus formatrice tant humainement qu’académiquement.

Usually, when we go to a country for an Erasmus, we arrive with our very own bundle of stereotypes, and sometimes, if not often, we take them back with us…
At the end, the only way to leave your bundle beside the road is to keep your experience forever with you, no matter where you are, and this is not the task of your memory, but that of your friends, and that’s what Erasmus is all about.
