1. Can you tell me a bit about yourself? Name, home country, age, etc.
My name is Lili Berki. I am 23 years old. I come from Budapest, Hungary.
2. What did you study before you came to Plantijn Hogeschool?
I am studying law and this is my 5th year.
3. Why did you come to Plantijn?
To get a scholarship at my university usually you have to speak German and as it is I only could come to Belgium, to Plantijn where we need English. At Plantijn I could choose between Communication and Business studies, so I chose Communication.
4. Do you like to study at Plantijn? What are the major differences with your home country?
I really enjoyed that 4 months! The major differences is that I study law in Hungary, but here I followed communication studies so that was something completely different, new studies, new experiences. It was great!
5. What do you think of the way of teaching at Plantijn? Is it different than back in Hungary?
It is totally different. The teachers here are really nice and friendly and not so strict as in Hungary.
6. Do you like Antwerp? What do you think is most striking here in Belgium?
It was really hard to get used to Antwerp. This city is definitely different from city, Budapest. It is smaller but something is always going on here. I love this city! It is hard to say what was the most striking thing in Belgium. It was amazing to see that everybody speaks English here but it was also amazing how friendly are the people and they also seemed to be very helpful.
7. Is there a big difference in what you expected the Belgians to be and what they turned out to be?
No, I only expected good things and I only experienced the best.
8. What do you miss most about your home country?
My family, friends and my hometown.
9. Would you like to continue your studies in Belgium and maybe live here?
It was really beautifully 4 months but now it is time to go back to my life in Budapest.
10. If you go back to Hungary what is the first thing you would tell your family about Belgium?
Fortunately there is no need to tell about Belgium because during my staying here they came to visit me and they had a great time here.
