Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed.

Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death.

It doesn't matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle... when the sun comes up, you'd better be running.

African proverb

WHY BE MOBILE?

University of Novi Sad University of Novi Sad - Student experiences -- Student experiences -

I learned from different cultures about their history, values and lifestyles

I changed so many wrong assumptions about what I used to call “foreigners”

I learned a new language and feel great about it

I met some cool people and still keep in touch with some of them

I found it easier to get a job when I got back home after my study exchange

I feel that I understand people better and can better respond to them

I travelled a lot and learned about national customs

I feel more independant and confident after going abroad to study.
