VISIT OF ENVOL DES PIONNIERS (2021)
"I attended the pictures about visiting of "Envol des Pionniers". Thank you very much for providing us with a valuable exchange opportunity to understand the civil aviation area in France. Also, we had a deeper understanding of the literary works about the story of Little Prince. Thank you again for letting my friend take part in this visit. " Wenjing, from Beihang University (China)
"I really enjoyed the visit again. The guided tour was very interesting and the guide nice and friendly. The museum itself was well organized and interesting too. Thank you for organizing it." Vilem, from CTU (Czech Republic)
VISIT OF THE "CITE DE CARCASSONNE" (2021)
"Thank you very much for taking the time to organize the visit! The whole plan was so cool. It is amazing to have the chance to visit such a lovely place in a very easy way, as the transport and the visit were perfectly organized, so we didn’t need to think in anything else’s but having a good time". Alejandra, from Universitat Politècnica de València (Spain)
"Thanks for providing such a beautiful tour to us. And it’s a good way to spend weekends by taking litter journey.
Carcassonne is a little beautiful city and this is my first time to see the city town in a castle, which is unforgettable."
Ying, from Dalian Minzu University (China)
"I attended the visiting of Carcassonne on November 20. Thank you very much for providing us with a valuable exchange opportunity to understand the local culture, especially the history and culture of the castle." Wenjing, from Beihang University (China)
VISIT OF TOULOUSE (2021)
"I enjoyed the tour very much. The guide was amazing, she knew so much about the city and could answer all the questions we had. I would definitely recommend this for students next year". Matthijs, from TU Delft (The Netherlands)
"I wanted to thank you for organising the visit of Toulouse on Saturday. Not only did I have a great time with my buddy and fellow students, but I also really enjoyed the tour that the guide gave us. The length, the kind and the amount of places we saw were perfect." Alejandra, from TU München (Germany)
"I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed last week's visit. The activity was fun and interesting, not at all boring, and it helped me to discover and visit places around Toulouse and a bunch of information which I don't think I would have known otherwise. The guide was really charming and in my opinion she did a wonderful job. Overall, I would encourage other people to take part in this activity if it happens again and I am really looking forward to the other two planned activities!" Miguel, from UPM (Spain)
"I joined the visit of Toulouse last Saturday. I must say it was a wonderful little trip and the guide is very nice and professional. I know more about Toulouse, like the Bibliothèque Municipale, Place Saint-Sernin, Garonne and so on. There are some amazing stories behind of this building and I would like to explore more later. Besides, we came across a few wedding on that day luckily. In a word, so fun and I deeply enjoyed it." Ying, from Dalian Minzu University (China)
"It was a great visit, I really enjoyed it. The guide was very friendly, likeable and knowledgeable. I really appreciated it the style she chose for this tour - to show us hidden and secret places yet very important in the city history. It was a very well spent saturday afternoon. Thank you a lot for the organization of this great tour." Vilem, from CTU (Czech Republic)
"The tour is compact with the quality guide. It helped get myself into the inner side of Toulouse.
The only remark is only the tour made on Saturday, which is the busy day at downtown. I guess it would be more peaceful on Sunday. However, I feel very thankful for the city tour given by the program and am looking forward to the next activity!" Chandhawat, from Kasetsart University (Thaïland)
BEFORE 2021
"I attended both the intercultural meeting and the trip to Carcassone, and I also joined the buddy programme. All the activities that your team has organized were enjoyable and interesting. Thanks for your effort and dedication to exchange students". Juan Carlos, from Universidad de Sevilla (Spain)
"In my opinion the trip to Carcassonne was great! The transport was good and on time, and having a guide was good for better understanding the history of the city. Also, having some free time after the guide's explanation was fantastic, so we could explore it by ourselves. I loved the visit, thank you very much". Mario, from URJC (Spain)
"Thank you very much for what you do for us. You (i.e.Véronique) and Mark are very kind. About the activities, I joined the Carcassone trip and the visit of Toulouse and I think that both were very great! It’s always so good to visit new places." Rocco, from Polito (Italy)
"I went on both trips to Toulouse and Carcasonne and I really enjoyed both of the trips. Going through the city with a guide is something you usually do not do when you go somewhere, so having this opportunity I really found amazing. I learned a lot and got to see a lot of both cities as well. Of course it is also always nice to go somewhere with your fellow students having a good time." Thomas, from Tu Delft (The Netherlands)
"I enjoyed the visit to Toulouse, the cathedral and the plaza are amazing, just maybe it would be a good idea to include modern places or green areas too. I liked the visit to Carcassonne even better because at all times the view was breath-taking, the only thing that could have make it better is having more time to explore it all! The Study Abroad Office has really surpassed all my expectations, thank you very much for everything!" Valeria, from IPN Mexico (Mexico)
"I joined the Carcassone trip and the Buddy programme. I think that both were very successful. It would be nice if we could have more activites or trips until the end of the exchange.Thank you for all of the activities organized. The team in charge of international exchanges is very welcoming and helpful !" Yaren, from TU Delft (The Netherlands)

Best Buddy
In 2021, the French student receiving the award of "Best Buddy" is...
Jeanne DUFRENNE
Enrolled in IENAC19_OPS (Air Transport Operations and Safety major)
She is the French buddy of Ginevra BERNI, coming from POLITO (Italy).
Ginevra's comments about Jeanne:
"She is a very active person, she is super friendly and always available in case I need it. She is open to new friendship and new cultures. She is helping me improve my French.
Having her around has been really helpful, especially the first week I spent here. She came to get me at the airport, she's shown me around the campus the first day, and introduced to the right people to start some activities here, which was really helpful.
Afterward, she's been a really good friend and we already plan to keep in touch and visit each other after the Erasmus. I really believe that she deserves to win this award, because from other experiences in the past I know that it's not easy to be so open and friendly with a stranger, and she has exceeded all my expectations."
