My home university Zaragoza and my life as an Erasmus student in Lublin
The activities you can do in Zaragoza include visiting the old town and El tubo, where you can enjoy streets full of history and try the best tapas and wines in the bars of El Tubo. You can also enjoy Zaragoza’s most important festival, the Fiestas del Pilar which features numerous events and performances.
This is the Faculty of Economics, it is located in the center of Zaragoza, it is a little far from the rest of the faculties.
It’s a little old but it has a lot of classes where a lot of people can fit.
The building has four floors and the top floors are where the teachers’ offices are.
In front of the faculty is the library that has two floors.
My name is Nadia Layunta and I studied business administration and management at the University of Zaragoza.
In my degree program, we study subjects related to law, finance, accounting, and marketing. My favorite subjects are those related to marketing, and that’s what I want to pursue in the future.
In Spain, classes are a bit different than in Poland because they have more people and include both theoretical and practical lessons. However, I personally prefer the classes here in Poland because they are smaller, more practical, and more dynamic.
One of the best things my degree has given me, apart from the knowledge I’ve gained, has been the people I’ve met and the opportunity to go on an Erasmus exchange to Lublin.
On the other hand, I’m going to talk a bit about my city: Zaragoza, as it has a wide variety of interesting places to visit:
Basilica del Pilar
Some of the must-see monuments include the Basilica del Pilar, where you can find the Virgin of Pilar and artworks by Goya. Another monument is the Aljafería Palace, which combines Arab, medieval, and Renaissance architecture.

My Erasmus experience
My experience in Lublin began on September 20th, traveling from Zaragoza with my partner Rene, we traveled all day until we arrived. We arrived at our residence and met our roommates, then we went to eat in a typical place where we met with more people
The first weeks here were so fun, we got to know the center of Lublin, some places to have a drink and we went to a lot of parties. Here I have met incredible people who are now like my family.
I have traveled to a lot of countries I had never been to, such as Germany and Hungary, and I have been able to get to know other cultures.
Regarding the university, I was impressed by how big it is.
The classes are much smaller than in Spain and the subjects are more practical.
I like the subjects more than in Spain because they are more fun for me.
