However, a fantastic opportunity came up, as the EU elections are approaching, 33 other students from a range of nationalities and courses, went to Brussels, the EU capital (for making legislations and not the actual capital city of the EU, don\u2019t worry many make the same mistake) to go and investigate what the EU actually is.
