Katie

Name: Katie
Erasmus year: 2014-15
Destination: University of Pisa, Italy

Spending a year in Italy on an Erasmus+ exchange has had a profoundly positive influence on so many aspects of my life. It's helped me to become the person I am today and it's done so much for my confidence and personal development. I have since gone on to become President of the University of Leicester Erasmus+ and Exchange Society which has been an equally rewarding and fulfilling experience for me. Making friends with people from around the globe has opened my eyes to a diverse range of cultures while working abroad has given me skills that continue to benefit my work and studies today.
