Today’s data comes from Data.Europa courtsey of Data Is Plural and includes metrics on participation in the Erasmus exchange program at EU universities from the years 2014, 2019. I was particularly interested in exploring the most popular destinations of students from each country, so I used the ggforce
package to examine sending countries (left) versus receiving countries (right) for Erasmus program participants.
Since there are a lot of countries, I examined the destination countries of students from the 5 countries that sent the most students on exchange visits. I restricted the data to cases where students visited a university outside their home country.
