Coco van Zandvoort Vic , Spain

Coco is a 4th year IMEM student and she is 21 years old . She is currently studying Business and Communication at Universitat de Vic ( UVic ) in Spain . Coco decided to go on an exchange , because she wanted at least one experience abroad during her studies . “ I think it really broadens your perspective , since you get to know a different culture and you get to know a lot of people from all over the world .”
Goals
Coco went on her exchange with a clear goal in mind . “ I wanted to experience what it is like to start all over again . I went to Spain on my own , being the only one from the NHTV and not knowing any of the other Erasmus people . However , it was really easy to get to know other students , because everyone is in the same position as you and everyone is here to get to know other people .” There are more than 120 international students studying at UVic this semester . That sounds like a big opportunity to meet people from all over the world !
