In the thirdpart, whether the faculty buildings were enough for the students who joinedErasmus program in fall term in 2013 or not was evaluated. In this study, thequantitative data gathering methods were used. Quantitative documents likeinternet pages, visitor professor presentations and photographs were analyzedvia text analysis. In 2006, none of the students wanted to go to othercountries with Erasmus program whereas, 23 students managed to have asuccessful Erasmus visit in 2013. This state was resulted from the intense workof Erasmus faculty coordinator. Space, time encouragement is very important inacademic life. In this study, the ideal of Erasmus faculty building waspresented. It is thought that the present visits don’t supply the students’needs.  Future studies should beconducted on motivational studies of self-determination theory and from theperspective on emotionality of social learning.
