I liked my experience in Aston university, I went there for 1 year with the Erasmus+ program and it has been a good destination I had some really interesting modules to study and the overall study experience is great the campus the library the buildings are good it's a quite open minded environment I liked that too. It has a lot of other Erasmus students and the atmosphere...
I really recommend to think about an exchange! Studying in a different country and city is a good chance to experience new things, improve language and social skills! I had 4 awesome months while studying at Aston University in Birmingham. Next to the Uni stuff, there was enough time for traveling friends and other activities.
It is a fantastic university to study at and the city is also very student friendly.
