"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. "
