    Erasmus Student Network UniBucharest

    The website of the main ESN delegation in Bucharest, which in practice acts as a forum and message board for Erasmus students. Since there is not much information in Spanish on other forums, this is where you should sign up for the 'Buddy' program so that a local student can welcome you and help you with the paperwork. They also announce the official WhatsApp groups and the welcome events of the first few weeks.
