Austin, Texas is a very interesting place. Before coming here, I had a picture in my mind of a very Texan town with cowboy boots and big hats, but it’s quite the opposite. There’s interesting and different people everywhere all with a different story, whether they’d grown up here or moved from out of the…

How’s life in your host city? What is the University like? Viña del Mar is a Paradise. This place is one of a series of about 4 or 5 neighbouring coastal cities and is a highly developed vacation retreat. The majority of exchange students studying at UAI live in apartment blocks overlooking the beach and…

Two years ago I was about to start my degree, contemplating whether/where to go on exchange. I had just finished my gap-year, during which I had travelled through Europe, and I was longing for a way to go back and stay longer. Now, half way through my degree, I’m about to commence exchange in Ljubljana,…

Hola!! Tamara aqui. I first visited Madrid two years ago, during a post-hsc euro trip. In love with the vibrancy, the urban blend of old and new, and the culture, I knew this was a city I could live in. I also knew exchange was on the cards, so I put them both together, and…

Before I acquaint you with La Universidad de Montevideo, perhaps it’s wiser to get our bearings of where the university is located. Montevideo is the capital city of Uruguay- a country tucked in neatly between Brazil and Argentina. It has a modest population of 3.4 million people, giving it bragging rights of being the smallest nation…
