I have to say, I was not completely sure if I wanted to do an exchange year or not simply due to the fact that I would have to prolong my studies. It felt somehow like wasted time since I had studied really hard the entire year and gotten pretty good grades. When I applied for an Erasmus programme years later, it was very clear to me from the beginning of my application that it is possible to transfer credits from the university abroad to my home university which meant that I can still graduate in time. Why this shouldn’t happen in high schools?
