What factors are important to decide to emigrate by students? Do they have any experience with economic migration? The analysis is based on the research conducted in 2015 and 2016 in two universities in Lublin (Poland) and Vilnius (Lithuania). The article presents the willingness to emigrate of the young generation, an assumed length of stay abroad as well as the role of migration networks.
