Let's meet our Erasmus friends! ;) First one - Kassandra from Germany

It's time to introduce you our Erasmus friends and us :) The first one will be Kassandra Becker from Germany. That's what she wrote about her:

"Hej I m Kassandra,
I ve been living in Poznan for a couple of months already and I really enjoy being here. While I was using the summer semester for observing and orientating - and of course listening to Radio Meteor - I became active this year myself. For me it is a great opportunity to work in two languages - both English and Polish. I am here at UAM in the framework of a so called „double degree“. During the first year of the master degree I studied at European University Viadrina in Frankfurt/Oder in Germany (but close to the Polish boarder). Afterwards I came to lovely Poznan to continue the program here. Besides my studies in the field of International Relations and European Studies I am interested in journalistic work. I have already had some experiences but working for Radio Meteor is once more an option to work practically and of course to have a lot of fun. Why Poland one might ask. Well, it happened now three years ago: I went to Poland for the first time and felt in love with the country during Erasmus in Warsaw. Since then I have returned to the Poland so many times to a place I consider now my second home. It was (an still is) a huuuge challenge to learn the language but I am not giving it up, and i think I m doing not too bad ;)"

Studying in Germany and Poland - second episode of Erasmus Evening

The second guest of EE was Kassandra from Germany. She was born in Mainz and she came to Poznan from European University Viadrina Frankrurt Oder. During a conversation with Gabriela she reveal what caused that she came to Poland.

“It was like an incident because it was quick decision. So I’m here and I was in Warsaw and I fall in love in this country. I love everything in this country!”

Interesting and nice custom for german girl was letting ladies first in the doors, for e.g. when she go in to tram. She enthused by the diversity of the university and the Polish program and highlights the importance of double diploma.

Is Erasmus only party? Actually not. Kassandra think:

“It’s your choice, if you want a party in Erasmus time you can do it and if you want to study it is possible too”.

In Frankfurt Kassandra studied european studies focus on political science. In Kassandra's opinion here in Poznan, on our classes she learn more and they are more practical and useful. That knowledge is better to her future job. But a big problem for her are books actually lack of books in English. It makes difficulty in learn. She choose a options of two diplomas it means part of studied she learnt in Frankfurt and a part here in Poznan.

Kasandra was talking about studying in Frankfurt about their campus and and her adventure during live in students dormitories. She thinks students live in Poznan and in Frankfurt is not very different but for her big surprise was “Wielka Gala WNPiD”. It was shocking her, when professors and students were partying together, “In Germany something like this never happened”.

Why German student willingly choose Frankfurt not Berlin University and more details about Kassandra’s survivals you can LISTEN in the broadcast HERE --->
