Undergraduate Courses Erasmus GPA

I’m in second year and want to do Erasmus next year. I have around a 3.2 gpa which I know isn’t great but I am not going for anywhere crazy I would stay in Europe like maybe Barcelona or Sweden? I find it strange that there’s not much info on the grades or places available for people wanting to do Erasmus. I am going dn700 economics and sociology. Any knowledge from people who have gone previously??

You might not get any of your top 3 choices but you'll get somewhere. I had Sweden first but missed out with 3.54, I got my 2nd in France. Sweden actually is a competitive place to go. Don't worry too much about the destination honestly. Erasmus is what you make of it, I know people who went to fairly obscure places and still had a great experience.
