Meet Christian. The Erasmus student from Catalonia chose to study in Slovenia as he found it to be the most unusual choice on his list.

Sina is a student of culture studies, who chose Slovenia because of its mountains. Back in Germany, she studies in Leipzig. She says housing there is cheaper than in Ljubljana, but that other costs are a bit lower. When applying for her Erasmus studies, she says she was surprised by the numerous forms she had to fill out.

Her music choice was a national rock song by Charly García titled "Nos siguen pegando abajo" ("They keep hitting us down there").
Meet Eduardo. The Erasmus student of political science says that when he first saw Ljubljana with his own eyes, he felt as if he was transported into a European film. Like many other Erasmus students, he thinks Slovenians are more reserved in nature, unlike the Portuguese for example, who kiss two times when they meet someone they know. More about what he thinks about studying in Ljubljana and how it compares to Portugal in this edition of Study Abroad. His music choice was »Ne diraj moju ljubav«, a song he heard while waiting for the New Year's fireworks in Ljubljana.
What’s the difference between Slovenians and Russians? Slovenians drink “špricer” and Russians drink vodka. Well, that’s according to this week’s guest, Kesha. The Erasmus student notes the stability of life in Maribor can get a little bit boring for guys in their early twenties. You can hear more about how Kesha and his group spice up their everyday life in this episode of Study Abroad. On a more serious note, the civil engineering student also says the gap between the rich and poor in Russia is especially wide, but that living in Maribor showed him that it is possible for a smaller city to be well developed. His music choice was a song from the band Feduk & Allj, titled Rose Wine.
Meet Vilius. The Erasmus student of Medicine comes from Lithuania. He says that one of his favorite memories from Slovenia is the final match between Slovenia and Serbia in the European Basketball Championship.

As the buzzer sounded the end of the game, one of the fans got so excited, they splashed most of their beer into his face. His music choice was a song titled Vyturiai from the Lithuanian band Kamaniu šilelis.
Vladislav came from Belarus to study in Maribor. The Erasmus student of Economy and Management feels that the Slovene in Belarus languages are similar, but that the culture and people in these two countries are quite different. He is also very surprised that, despite its relatively small size, Maribor to him seems to be well developed. Apart from Belarus gaining recognition of its independence the same year as Slovenia did, another interesting thing about Vladislav’s home country is that people there don’t speak Belarusian nearly as much as they do Russian. His music choice was a song from the band ATL, titled Marabu.
Amar Toplić is an Erasmus student of social work that comes from Bosnia and Hercegovina. While he does like Maribor and his studies here, he says foreign students don't get enough chances to meet and hang out with foreign students – be it at the dorm or at the faculty. Amar says he believes the young people will bring change to Bosnia, that’s why he’s going back there to implement everything he learns abroad about working with youth and give back to the community. He says people like that helped him see another path in life when he was young. He is also immensely grateful to the Bosana foundation, which enabled him to pursue studying social work and continues to make a lasting difference in his life. His music choice was a song from the band Dubioza Kolektiv, titiled Himna Generacije.
Rosendo decided to study in Slovenia since it has a good position for traveling and he's been doing just that every weekend since he arrived to Maribor. What else has he been up to? His music choice was a song from the band Los delincuentes, titiled El aire de la calle.
Meet Teodora. The European studies and diplomacy student from Macedonia is an avid mountain climber, who in the past year ascended numerous Slovenian peaks, among them also Triglav. The decision to study in Slovenia came easily to Teodora. Ljubljana was namely the place where both her parents lived at one point in their lives. Her father studied here and her mother did an internship at the Faculty of Medicine in Ljubljana. As a result, she heard a lot of stories about Ljubljana and its inhabitants. Her music choice was a song called Vezilka, by the Macedonian band Foltin.
Meet Ujjwala. She came to Slovenia to study from northern India, where they speak predominantly Hindu. While Slovenia has over 30 dialects, the much larger India, on the other hand, has 23 official languages, including English. Ujjwala says that since coming to Slovenia, her English has become increasingly worse since people here have a different way of speaking in English. Apart from her family and friends, she says what she misses most is Indian cuisine. Despite all this as well as the low temperatures, she says she likes Maribor. Her music choice was a song called Kala Chashma from the movie Baar Baar Dekho.
María Jesús is a Spanish Erasmus student at the Faculty of Medicine in Ljubljana. As a future doctor, she likes the fact that the health system in Slovenia is public and that most of her lecturers try to show them that here, they care about their patients. Concerning the party life in Slovenia, she says that the partying here finishes quite early, around 5 AM at the latest. In Spain, a good night out means coming home in time to eat breakfast together with your friends and then going to bed. The song she chose is titled A Quien Le Importa by Alaska, a Spanish-Mexican singer.
Nikita Samochwal is a business administration student who chose to experience his second Erasmus in a city with the same name as the one he studies in back in Germany – Marburg!

After almost two months here, she says she is pleased with her choice and was positively surprised by the relaxed lifestyle, the kindness of people and the greenness of Slovenia, despite expecting the prices to be somewhat lower. Her music choice was a song from the Turkish rock band Duman, titiled Herşeyi Yak.
