Hello!
I am currently on exchange at Sogang University, South Korea.
Travelling is only as good as what you make of it. Whether you enjoy exploring the beautiful scenery, fishing, hiking, drinking or eating, South Korea has it all. There are many areas in South Korea you should visit. (more…)
Sitting in my humidly stuffed dorm on a Saturday afternoon, it’s been one of those days where finals are coming up, and yet I am still contemplating whether to start studying or not. I have no clue what’s going on in my subjects, and frankly, I don’t care. These past 3 months an exchange have been too damn adventurous for me to sit still and regurgitate the implications of systematic risk on a diversified portfolio. (more…)
I have now been in Uppsala for just over two months and looking back at what I have done in this time, it really has gone so fast. Apart for the cold mornings as low as -14 degrees the weather hasn’t been too bad. When I first arrived the sun was setting at about 3:00pm however 2 months later its already back to 6:00pm. (more…)
When arriving in Denmark many of my preconceptions of this Scandinavian country where immediately confirmed. It was extremely cold, beautiful and cosy. Best of all the people where great! (more…)
After planning for exchange for over one year, I thought the day of departure would never come. Yet in a blink of an eye, three weeks of exchange has swiftly flown by, and each day brings forward a new lens to how I view the world.
On January 2nd I said an emotional farewell to my family and friends in Sydney as I prepared for my departure to Copenhagen. Although thinking back, the hardest goodbye was almost definitely to the sun. Leaving Australian summer for Danish winter suddenly seemed like quite a crazy idea. Nevertheless I hoped on my flight fuelled with excitement for my next adventure. 30 hours later and 30 degrees colder, I arrived in Copenhagen. (more…)
Firstly, my name is Peter Andrew and I’m on exchange in Vienna, Austria completing double Maters degrees; Masters of Business Administration (MBA, UTS) and a Masters of Strategy, Innovation & Management Control (SIMC, WU). That’s a mouth full! (more…)
Hi everyone!
I started my exchange here at Yonsei University on February 21st and have been here for exactly a month now at the time of this post. Many people go to exchange for various reasons such as revisiting family that live in the exchange country, explore a new culture and/or to pursue personal growth. My reason was the latter, I came to South Korea knowing a fair bit about the culture and was looking for pursue independence in a country where I would essentially have to start from nothing – no friends or family to anchor me.

Hi UTS Fam,
its been a pleasure to be given an opportunity to write a blog on something that I can’t describe in words. Exchange – when I decided to apply for exchange programme, I was sure that I wanted to go Europe. After evaluating different universities in terms of ranking and reputation, I made up my mind to go on an exchange in Denmark. And I got an admission in Copenhagen Business School (CBS). Though, I didn’t want to leave my home, I was prepared for the exciting times ahead in Europe.
In this blog, I will be writing about my experience in Singapore as an exchange student.
