This week marked my last week of my exchange semester at the University of Leeds. First of all, if you are thinking about going on exchange, I know it’s clichéd but DO IT! It honestly seems like a really scary thing to consider going to another country to live for 6 months or a year, but…

It has almost been three months since living in London- I actually cannot believe how fast time has flown! Arriving here after a 7 hr flight to Malaysia, followed by a 12hr stop over, a 13hr flight to Amsterdam, and a train to London via Brussels, I was completely and utterly exhausted. I got into…

Being a twenty-something male completing his second year of his Communication undergraduate, perhaps you could understand my initial apprehension about the prospect of moving into student housing.
