"At Caltech I learned to descale fish (for academic credit!), helped build a life-sized wooden gingerbread house, and had a NASA researcher stay in lab until 3am to help my group fix our robot... It's pretty amazing." -


"My exchange year at the Universidad de San Andres, Argentina was undoubtedly the most amazing, challenging and rewarding thing I've ever done. I met the most amazing people, who I'll be friends with for life, seen places I'll never forget, done things I never thought I would or was capable of and came back a stronger, happier person.”


“In Canada you will meet the most amazing people and do the craziest things My year at Carleton University can only be described as the best and most fun experience of my life which I would do again and again and again if I could!"


"I spent a year in Australia studying at Melbourne University. Does this really need selling?"


"A year at Queen's University will undoubtedly be one of the best in your life.”


"My year at Tsuda College in Tokyo was unforgettable. Living in the vast and hectic city of Tokyo, but also staying on a small and cosy campus meant I had the best of both worlds. Japan is unlike any other country in the world and I feel lucky to have experienced it with the incredibly kind and welcoming friends and teachers I met at Tsuda."


"With the combination of the workload and the weather, studying at McGill University is not for the faint of heart. Saying that, you'll learn loads and the snowy mornings can be

otherworldly."


“Without doubt, my exchange to the National University of Singapore will remain the most memorable year of my life.”


“I had the best year ever at Emory in Atlanta, USA! I thought I'd be an advocate for joining a team while abroad as it was one of the best decisions I made: it allowed me to

travel extensively while competing for my school and meet amazing people.”


"How many campuses can boast their very own beach? UBC can. Wreck beach is so beautiful, make sure it's one of the first things you see when you get there, especially

if you're arriving in September, when the weather is just wonderful."


“A truly unforgettable year in Argentina, and one I will always remember with fond memories"


“Studying at Washington University St Louis made me experience different culture and college life. Students here work hard, play hard. I met many friends through

studying and social activities.”


There was no 'normal' week - from surfing in Oregon, racing in N. America's largest canoe race, skiing every week in Whistler and immersing myself in Canadian culture

(go Canucks go!)- the list is fairly endless. Going on exchange was probably the best decision I ever made."


“My exchange in Barcelona has been one of the most rewarding experiences in my life. Within months I grew into the Catalan society and now Barcelona is my second

home.”


“The best thing that my university experience has offered me and it was one of the best years I've ever had.

Cannot even imagine not doing it.

Do it, do it, do it!”

(University of Virginia)
