Tenille | Exchange | Mexico

"Just do it. Opportunities like this aren't just going to come around all the time. You might regret not doing it but you’ll never regret doing it."

Tenille's story

Joshua | Exchange | Vietnam

"I love the exchange lifestyle and everything that that brings. Getting a deeper level of connection with the culture, with the way of living, for a decent amount of time, but you're still not putting studies on hold."

Joshua's story

Nathan | Exchange | Korea

"Studying somewhere like Korea, or anywhere on exchange for an extended amount of time is great because you blend into that culture and that society, you’re really a part of it for a while. You’re building genuine lasting connections and friendships, you’re building experiences that really mean a lot to your degree and your career later. "
