#ErasmusStudent: Elene Bendeliani | Polytechnic Institute of Bragança
“Hello, I am Elene Bendeliani, an IBSU Computer Science BA student, currently pursuing a double degree at the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança (IPB), Portugal, under the Erasmus+ program.
My experience has been overwhelmingly positive. The people here are incredibly welcoming and friendly. I have already made some friends from Brazil, Spain, Portugal, France, Ukraine, and all over the world, and I am feeling very much at home here.The IPB is a great university with a lot to offer. The professors are supportive, and the facilities are excellent. One of the things that I have found most interesting about my experience so far is the opportunity to learn from other students different methods of studying. Students from other countries have different educational systems and different approaches to learning. It has been really interesting to exchange our experiences and achievements.
Bragança is a city known for its vibrant international student community, and it’s no surprise why. Here, for Erasmus students like me, events are happening every day. From exciting journeys to nearby countries like Spain, to dance, music, and sports events, and even lively gatherings in bars and clubs, there’s always something fun and exciting to do. I am already confident that it will be a life-changing experience.”
