  • University of Mississippi, United States

    After a year of detailed planning, filling out several applications, budgeting and stressing, I have finally made it to Oxford Mississippi, the home of The University of Mississippi, otherwise known as Ole Miss. About two weeks ago I flew into Memphis Tennessee and my future roommates picked me up from the airport, we then made…

  • National Taiwan University, Taiwan

    What are the facilities like at your host university? NTU is a really beautiful and interesting university. The facilities are as you’d expect from a large university as this. It has the largest library collection in Taiwan, a number of museums and galleries, computer labs, and so on. On arrival you are assigned a buddy…

  • University of Mannheim, Germany

    Having travelled around Europe for the past seven weeks, it was a relief to finally settle into life in my host city Mannheim, Germany.

  • An Aussie in NTU

    One of the biggest questions undergraduates face is where to go for exchange. For me, coming to NTU and to Singapore was a no-brainer. I wanted to step out of my comfort zone to experience diverse cultures and eat all kinds of food. Living in a residential hall in NTU put me right at the…

  • Uppsala University, Sweden

    Hej hej from Uppsala! Today marks my eighth day in Uppsala but I feel like I have been here for months. Uppsala is a town about an hour north of Stockholm, and everywhere can be reached by bike within about 40 minutes. There is no specific university campus, rather the buildings are spread all over…

  • IT University Copenhagen, Denmark

    Hi! My name is Kalist, 3rd year Undergrad, and this is my entry for the UTS exchange blog. I’ve been in my host country, Denmark, for two weeks now. I’m in the major city of Copenhagen, just outside the city centre. There have been some struggles getting settled in and ready to study, but also…
