About scholarships and policies

I was quite irritated by the policy of the Erasmus program in Latvia. The policy is that students can go abroad only for one semester. But this policy has very good substantiation: high scholarships. They give good scholarships and want more people to go, so they send everyone just for one semester. The guy from Poland who is staying one year here gets 2 hundred something, girl from Czech Republic - around five hundred euros per month. And it is for staying in the Netherlands where you have to pay for your room almost 400 euros. So I do not complain about my scholarship anymore. :)
