“What? Where’s that?” “Is it near Berlin?” Those were the three main questions I was asked when I told people I was going on exchange to Weimar in Germany. As soon as I responded, “Bauhaus” most people then seemed to understand where I was talking about (or at least acted like they did). I’m studying…

Going on exchange is a big decision. There’s a lot of planning that goes into the entire process, and there’s even more after you get accepted.

The week that felt like a year. I arrived in Wismar, Germany on the 12th of September and will admit, it wasn’t the most amazing start. I got to my accommodation (which at the time I thought was totally average) and arrived to find no one was there, there was no Wifi, no pillow, no…

Berlin feels like a collective of smaller cities within the city, with endless parks, galleries, neighbourhoods, repurposed buildings and clubs to explore. I have only been here a few weeks, but it has been a lot of fun exploring the city so far. Each day, Berlin reveals something different and exciting, and it has a…

I have been travelling around northern Europe for six weeks already and there are just two weeks left until I arrive in Berlin for my exchange. It’s mid September now and most other UTS exchange students will have just started their studies, but Germany seems to be the odd one out; its winter semester…
