During my revisit to my country I had been asked several times by my curious family and friends whether I had been even attending the school there (meaning in Gent), so finally I’ve decided to tell you also something about how it goes at school here – in Gent.
Well, I must admit that when I was heading to Gent, I was afraid a little. Just a little. It was to be my first time abroad of such a type, my English wasn’t so good and I also expected the level of education to be higher than at our school. Well, it depends – as usual. I expected me to be very busy during the whole semester but surprisingly I had also quite enough time to enjoy my Erasmus stay here! I would say that in comparison with my home university it was really more exacting. I had to do some papers (whether a project, an essay or webpages) almost for each subject. But if you do it continuously during the semester….., or if you do it in one go just before the end of the semester, or before the deadline, as 95% of students do (including me 😀 ), you can make it all.
Regarding the teachers teaching at the school subjects in English, I haven’t had any problems with anyone yet. The English spoken by them is pretty good. Of course, they are not native speakers, but that’s good for me too so I can understand better. It’s a shame, and for me quite surprising at the same time, that lots of these subjects I attended weren’t that interesting for me. Maybe a problem starts even at my home university, because in fact I couldn’t choose many subjects I wanted to take. Anyway, let’s see how much difficult or not and how useful they have been after the exams 😉
