Other than regretting not listening in high school Chinese class, here are some things I’ve experienced from my time in Shanghai.…

My name is Connee and I study a Bachelor of Economics and Bachelor of Sustainability and Environment at UTS. This is the story of my summer at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). Global exchange was not something I had envisioned for myself when I started my university studies.

My time in Barcelona was a journey of growth, challenge, and discovery. I went with a few goals in mind—building independence, understanding a new culture, and learning about local innovation—but the experience turned out to be more complex and rewarding than I expected.
