Norway was clearly the top destination of choice: NTNU in Trondheim appeared 25 times in the list of up to 3 possible exchange destinations for students. But Sweden, Iceland and Finland were also high on the list. Those who like it a bit warmer applied mainly to Spain, Portugal, France and Italy. Many students were pleased to be accepted at their first or second choice university, while only a few ended up as third choice or unfortunately did not make it at all.
There is no allocation of remaining Erasmus spots for summer semester 2024. The next opportunity to apply is in December 2023 for an exchange in 2024/25.
