About 15% of students in Europe take part in Erasmus. Considering moving abroad alone for a year to a country where you don't necessarily speak the language is quite intimidating I'd say that's a pretty high number of students. As for inter rail - maybe the fact it's €400 just for the train ticket is why the only people I know who have done it are quite well off. Making it available to everyone who wants it should change that, opening the experience up to everyone regardless of background. Edit: Making an experience available to everyone isn't exactly propaganda.* *unlike that extra £350m pw going to the NHS
