How would you describe your Summer School experience in a few words?
Exhilarating EmotionalTransformational & Unforgettable

Can you give us a small anecdote concerning your time at TBS Education?
My time at TBS Education has been hands down one of the best experiences of my life! Starting from the city itself, Toulouse is undoubtedly an amazing student city filled with friendly people, a vibrant nightlife that is equally safe making it extremely fun to explore. Moreover, the TBS Education Summer Program itself is so unique because you’re surrounded by solely international students, and you build bonds for a lifetime. Similarly, the professors all come from interesting professional backgrounds and are from all around the world, they were also very approachable which created a great classroom environment abroad. TBS Education also curates a great social program to ensure you’re not only experiencing Toulouse but bonding with all your peers whether it be through company visits, day trips to local sights, kayaking and more! While many people may feel that it’s a too bad I didn’t go on a full term exchange as an accounting student looking to pursue my CPA which would make a full term exchange difficult for me, the TBS Education Summer Program was perfect, giving me a unique experience that I highly recommend! Toulouse has found a special place in my heart and memories I’ll forever remember to go along with it!

How did your integration into TBS Education/Toulouse go? What did you feel at the end of the Summer School compared to your first day?
My integration went very well! Even though I was the only Danish person in Toulouse, I never felt left out of the group. Every single person in the summer school program was openminded and interested in meeting new people from different cultures. The groups were in general characterized by curiosity and a high level of engagement.

How did the Summer School Team help you?
The summer school team at both schools have been a great help in all practical areas of the trip. All practicalities were sorted out so participants could focus on school, forming new relationships and having fun. If any questions appeared, the summer school teams were always happy to help.

Were there any social/cultural events that you particularly enjoyed?
I really enjoyed the team building day in Toulouse as it allowed us to get to know our fellow students. Furthermore, I liked the scavenger hunt in Toulouse as well as it was a great opportunity for exploring the city. Last but not least, the international evenings in both Toulouse and Ljubljana was great experiences; all the different countries had so much culture to bring.

Can you give us a small anecdote concerning your time at TBS Education?  It can be informative/funny/whatever you wish.
When choosing a summer school in Europe, my expectation was that the majority of students in the program were Europeans. When I arrived, I found out that it was completely the opposite; the majority of participants were from all other places in the world than Europe. It was an amazing experience to engage in such a diversified program and to get to know students from all over the world.

What advice would you give to a future TBS Education Summer School participant?
Open your mind and GO! This summer school program is one of the greatest experiences I have encountered during my studies so far. Be open to meeting new people and engage in academic as well as social activities – the more you give, the more you get.
