Life in Nantes, France, has been amazing but quite different from Australia’s. Being just 2 hours from Paris means weekend trips every other weekend, including other neighbouring cities such as Bordeaux! The academic load is much lighter and less demanding than at UTS, so we are left with lots of free time to explore and…

My time at Sophia university has so far been the most valuable experience of my adult life. Firstly, it is an international university and is very English friendly. This may seem like a strange statement in a world where English is the de facto international language, however, I was not prepared for the lack English…

My name is Rosa and I am a second-year journalism student on exchange in London. I’m studying at City University of London in a part of the city called Angel, a borough filled with quiet alleyways, restaurants and of course a pub on every corner. When it came to subjects, I chose to drop down…

Although I’m only a couple weeks into my semester, I cannot describe in words how phenomenal my experience at Korea University has been, and just what amazing memories I’ve already made in South Korea. My Global Exchange experience to South Korea has been much more than simply studying – it has been about creating unforgettable…
