Abstract: | This article argues in favour of strong student information and counselling services in order to increase the rate of success of such international student and faculty exchange programmes as those of the ERASMUS Programme. After focussing on the role of guidance counsellors and the rate of participation in ERASMUS Programmes in selected European countries, the author turns to a specific examination of the Greek situation. She concludes with a plea not only for Improved informational services in the countries concerned but also for efforts to make the information available more target‐specific. |
