‘Learn, learn and, once again, to learn!’ (V.I. Lenin)
A wide range of educational events was one of the main reasons for me to make decision on going to Brussels with ELSA. As it became apparent ELSA trip to Brussels was a good combination of educational events coupled with a nice cultural leisure. One of the major educational events that took place during the trip was EU studies fair, which took place on the 11th of February 2011. A wide range of universities all over across the European Union had a chance to be represented on the fair. As seemed to me incredible amount of visitors were attracted by leading universities from the UK, Switzerland and Belgium etc. Typical issue of the visitors was an opportunity to gain as much information as possible on the matter of Postgraduate study.
My personal opinion on the fair quality is rather positive as it was widely accessible and pretty much well organised. Furthermore, there was a chance to talk to one of the European Union Commissioners Androulla Vassilliou. As the mentioned official is a professional in educational sector rather specific and competent topics could be discussed with her.
And finally, being a part of ELSA is always fun, interesting and very useful for your successful career in law!
