The months leading up to the exchange were filled with nerves and uncertainty, yet the underlying excitement could not be contained. Now, as I approach the final weeks of this chapter, I can wholeheartedly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to challenge themselves on both an academic and personal level. Academic Life at Jönköping…

Hej! As of writing this, autumn has fully set in here in Sweden. The days are getting shorter, trees are glowing with vibrant shades of orange, and the warmth of a sauna is increasingly tempting. I’m now halfway through my exchange and have completed two subjects. The teaching style here feels quite similar to Sydney,…

Hej! It’s already been 2 months since I’ve arrived in Lund to start my exchange at Lund University. Lund is located in the south of Sweden, approximately 1 hour away from Copenhagen which is super convenient to fly out of for travelling during the semester. The town is charming & old with a vibrant student…

At the start of this year, I would never imagine that I would have travelled to Sweden alone to study at Uppsala University. Uppsala is a relatively small town in the grand scheme of things however, it is the 4th biggest city in Sweden. I am in awe of the country’s approach to recycling and…

If you’re reading this, you’re probably considering Global Exchange and based on my experience so far at Lund University, I highly recommend you do…

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…

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…
