English Learning Community and Resources

Hi Pauline! What a very kind way to end your message,"spreading love." :)

I'm sorry you're feeling overwhelmed and haven't yet met anyone. Don't worry! Many mobility students are still arriving.

A great way to kickstart your social life is by connecting with your local ESN network. The Erasmus Student Network is a fantastic network that supports students during their mobility program. Check out their "Sections" page to find and connect with other mobility participants in your area. It's possible that in-person events are happening right where you are!

Another way to connect is right here, on the OLS platform. We will have live, online meetup days to hang out and chat. From these informal meet n' greets, participants can get to know each other and then meet in person. Check out this forum post if you would like to see or share ideas for discussion themes.

Did you already find a place to live in your city? If so, we would love for you to share your tips with us in the "Living Abroad" forum.

Today's blog is dedicated to helping participants find a place to stay since there are many students who are still looking. Great connections and new friends can be made just by sharing your tips!

Feel free to write back at any time! We don't want you to feel overwhelmed or alone. There may be others who are feeling just like you.

In fact, tell us something about The Hague. Give us a tour of your day! Or your weekend?  Or anything else you'd like to talk about? Did you do anything today that was joyful? Interesting?

Looking forward to seeing The Hague through your eyes!

Iya
