| Testimonial from students |
“I would say SEP has been the most exciting moment in the whole university education for me. By immersion in cultural exchange through living and attending school for half a year, I have learned not only the Dutch way of living and study, but also the cultural awareness, sensitivity and empathy to new cultures. In the program, I met people from different parts of the Europe Continent and developed long lasting friendship with people from Spain and Hungary. The most fun part of SEP perhaps is travel. I travelled to more than 20 cities over 11 countries in 5 months. Sightseeing the classical city architectures and beautiful natural scenes and enjoying the delicious local delicacies were fond memories of this very wonderful SEP experience.” - Wang Yixiang, Faculty of Engineering - |
