This study explored the beliefs, expectations, and experiences of tertiary students participated in an Erasmus program. With this purpose, a comprehensive analysis was sought to understand tertiary level students’ L2 use and their socialization. The participants were 8 Erasmus students who spent a semester in various countries where English was used in academic and informal settings. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with participants and the data drawn from the interviews were analyzed through content analysis. Results revealed that students showed discrepancies and different priorities in terms of the reasons that motivated them for the experience. Moreover it was found that they had various expectations from the sojourn and they have considerably benefited from the experience on various issues ranging from language related to social and academic gains.
