In my year VinJ19, you could come back to Europe for Christmas no problem. As mentioned above, you just need to meet your study and work commitments.

One thing I forgot and what I came to like on my last Erasmus is hiking There should be some of opportunity for that too.

I can only see Shortlisted, where I cannot post. I cannot see Selected at all :-/

I was wondering if any of the forum admins are still active so that we can get our very premium, "shortlisted" / "selected" group memberships and if there are any more hidden parts of the forum for those groups with more information?

lol This reminded me of this

Congrats!

The deadline for the next set of requested documents, in my case, is 10-12 April.

I got an email 2 hours ago. I was selected!

Why don't they just send us the results if this selection round is finished -_- Someone send them an angry email demanding results

This sounds like me

I keep checking my email and this forum like every hour. Hopefully they'll contact us soon or I'll go crazy. I am stuck in this cycle of excitement and feeling of failure as well. If only there was something more we could do to ensure our selection.

I like all your ideas and also some additional things I'd like to o
- try many kinds of new food
- visit a ryokan and an onsen
- see a few shrines and typical local architecture

I completed all 3 parts of my interview. Just now I finished my 3 hour phone call interview with total number of people 6. I feel quite bad. But I'd rather not speculate on the outcome. I think I picked the most difficult company to get accepted to.

On 13th directly from HR of the company I applied to. I did not expect they would have so many interview rounds. And as always only couple days to get them done.

I already received information from one of this years companies. I am required to take part in a series of interviews

Easier said than done. I spent a lot of time here today. Also I had to resend my confirmation of studies and keep refreshing the post tracking page, it has still not arrived there :-/

I only used 2 dashes and 2 spaces as in the example. Am I to expect issues with this (-_-)?
