  • Nanyang Technological University, Singapore

    Nanyang Technological University is a massive and surprisingly well funded campus. The first thing you will notice here is the vast numbers of cleaners, gardeners and ground staff scattered around the campus, spotted through bus windows and while stumbling lost for class. Similar to the stereotype of Singapore itself, image and the portrayal of wealth…

  • Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands

    My name is Fotini, and I study Product Design at UTS. I finally arrived two days ago in the beautiful city of Eindhoven, after much organisation and preparation !It’s a 30 degree day here (which is not what I was expecting at all), and I’ve already had some time to explore and look around. I’m…

  • Universidad Pontificia Comillas de Madrid, Spain

    I have only been in the city of Madrid for 4 days and its already been a whirlwind, and I haven’t even started classes yet! I’m living in a 6 person shared apartment and have been hanging out with my American and French housemates since I got here. Oh, and my new friend Lisa who…

  • The Incomparable Experience at Jönköping University

    Lakeside views, low-hanging clouds, and the greenest grass I’ve ever seen. This was the picturesque landscape I saw as I stepped out from Jönköping Resecentrum. And what was to come after that was nothing I had expected from this quiet little town. At Jönköping University, the semester starts with a two-week long introduction to university…

  • Stuttgart University, Germany

    Hi Everyone! I am so excited to do an exchange in the beautiful southern German city of Stuttgart. It has a wonderfully rich history with traditional architecture surrounded by mountains and the Black Forest. Semester doesn’t actually start until October, so I won’t be able to talk much about my experience in this blog post.…

  • Tilburg University, The Netherlands

    Hi there! I’m Parisa, a Business and Law student at UTS, and am about to start a semester of exchange at Tilburg University in the Netherlands. In all honesty, I was never too adamant on doing exchange. It’s not that I was sure that I didn’t want to, but more so that I thought I…

  • A city of dreams

    I think that’s the first thing I wrote in my personal statement when I was applying to study for a semester abroad in NYC. I guess that statement still rings true, NYC is everything you could ever imagine it being, both the good and the bad. It’s a city filled with diverse people who all…

  • Tilburg University, The Netherlands

    This semester I am completing a Global Exchange at Tilburg University in the Netherlands. After just over six weeks in the Netherlands, I’m pleased to say I have not fallen off my bicycle, not even during orientation week when it snowed, and I have now learnt a total of three words in Dutch – hallo,…

  • Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, Austria

    The facilities at the Academy of Fine Arts are fantastic. The entire year group only consists of 25 people, so you end up becoming very close with your classmates as well as the students in all the other years. This for me was great as you were definitely known by all the teachers and you…

  • Pompeu Fabra University, Spain

    Having lived in Barcelona for three months now, I am at that stage where it now feels like home. Upon arrival, I had a very positive experience with the ESN welcoming activities – this is where a group of local students help organise and lead a two week program of day and night activities with…
