  • Universidad Pontificia Comillas de Madrid, Spain

    I am currently doing an exchange in Madrid, Spain. Madrid is a lovely city with incredible culture, architecture and night life.

  • Go on Exchange…and then thank me later

    So, I have just about completed my first month on exchange from UTS and if you want the TL;DR, it is this – Do not, I repeat, DO NOT, let your university years go by without doing an exchange semester. The opportunity to even just experience life in another city, another country, is something that…

  • Navigating Academic Rigor and Cultural Richness: My Journey at UZH

    The pursuit of a global exchange experience has always been something I’ve wanted to do. Unconventionally, I’m doing it now, as part of my UTS master’s degree program, with my host university being the University of Zurich (UZH) in Switzerland. As I cross the midway point of my exchange, I am immersed in unravelling the…

  • Louisiana State University (ISEP), United States

    The entire campus transforms for the LSU football games with parents, children, families and students all setting up tailgates across campus and for me the school spirit here is something I had never experienced before but I loved. From hanging out with friends at the tailgates before the game to cheering on the Tigers in…

  • Life in San Diego

    It has been just over 3 months since I departed into San Diego for exchange. College life here is absolutely amazing, with SDSU being the best choice I could have ever made. Regarding academic life, it is very different with more frequent assessments scattered around the semester with low weightings. This avoids the whole final…

  • The Little Things – Leadership Skills with UTS BUILD

    I was unsure what to expect when I attended my first BUILD event, the Introduction to Leadership Workshop. I expected it to be a boring conference in which we sat and did icebreakers for the entire time before hearing the speaker lecture. I was mistaken and was pleasantly surprised by the outcome! This event focused…

  • Learning & Sharing Aboriginal Heritage and Culture – Coal Loader Field Trip with UTS BUILD

    One of my interests when I first came to this country as an exchange student from the United States was learning about the indigenous people. I never learned anything about Australian history in school back home, let alone the history of the aboriginal people. Since I’m not very interested in history or museums, I was…
