Greetings from Singapore!
It’s been almost 3 months since I first landed in Singapore in January and the time has simply just flown by! It’s sad to think that I only have about 2 months left in this wonderful country, but you’re not here to hear about my woeful tales, so I’m going to give you a crash course on coming to Singapore for exchange.
So why should you come to Singapore?
Hej Alle!
I am an architecture student currently studying at the Aarhus School of Architecture and have been on exchange here in Aarhus, (pronounced orrhus) Denmark for about 2 months now and have come to love my home away from home.

Preamble: I am writing this from my own personal experience as a self supported Low Socioeconomic Status (Low SES) student, this is not to say that every other Low SES student is able to achieve this, but if they are in a similar position/perspective as me, this is a way to get on the ol’ exchange train.

When another country starts becoming a home away from home, then just maybe, you’ve made the right choice. Starting early January and finishing mid April, there are no breaks on this education train. This will be a mini-guide to NTU (2k17).
This past February I went to Switzerland, to the town of Lausanne to study French for three weeks. While the classes were greatly beneficial, albeit quite difficult for me, the more memorable experience was the lifestyle I had while living there. I was lucky enough to meet a family – through my Aunt – who live about twenty minutes outside the city centre so I stayed with them for the three weeks I was there.
The Dad is dutch and the Mum is French so it probably wasn’t what you would call a typical Swiss experience, but it was lovely nonetheless. The three kids were aged 5, 11 and 12 and it was these three that really made the time so enjoyable for me.
Being the youngest child of four, I never had younger kids around me when I was growing up, so I never experienced the joy of being proud of younger siblings. My trip definitely changed this for me, though. I came away with a new family and three younger brothers and sisters.
I went to Switzerland hoping to improve my French and have a nice time away from the normal routine. And I certainly experienced both of those things. But the time I spent with my new family is a time I will never forget.

Venice, my unique treasure…
Written by Elyse Popplewell.
For a visitor of Venice, sauntering in the historic calli is like taking a limoncello shot. It’s overwhelming, gloriously intoxicating and very, very Italian. Living and studying here is a little bit different. Don’t be mistaken, each solo stroll by the canals is so surreal that you feel like you’ve floated over the last 28 bridges instead of stepping over pigeons at each turn. Unlike tourists, you’ll be graciously pulled back to the stone streets by the intrigue of Venice as the most unique city in Italy, the way only a residente can see it. (more…)

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 in Latin America

So, I’ve been in Mexico for a little more than 2 months now and I cannot stress how great Mexico specifically Cholula is a great choice for exchange. I’m living in Cholula in a state called Puebla, and to give you a context its a trendy little suburb that could be compared to a mix between Newtown and Surry Hills. It’s full of great restaurants, trendy bars and lots of Mexican culture. So while you are in Mexico, which may feel like quite a daunting place Cholula is a very comfortable, homey place to live.
