Sara in Orange (California)

I had wanted to go to America for all my life, so when I found out that I was able to move abroad for half a year, I immediately decided that that was where I wanted to go. It seemed like a unique opportunity, because I probably wouldn’t have taken the…

Iris in Roskilde (Denmark)

I found it very interesting to see how research is conducted at another university and to see how people with different cultural backgrounds think about all kinds of subjects. I also improved my English speaking skills, because of the fact that I was the only Dutch speaking…

Ivy in Nanyang (Singapore)

Don’t be scared to go on exchange! They will probably be the best five/six months of your life. Also, don’t hesitate to choose a destination far away from home, because those are the places that can teach you the most valuable life lessons. Also, make sure you will give…

Milou in Waterloo (Canada)

It is a unique experience that enables you to visit placed you will never be able to visit again after your life as a student. You also learn so much about yourself and about other cultures. When you look at it from many aspects, it is a very positive experience. From my perspective, …

Alieke in Madrid (Spain)

Spain has always interested me a lot and I think it is a beautiful country, so I thought: why won’t I study there? And of course, the warm climate also appealed to me! I could choose between Madrid and Barcelona and eventually chose Madrid (as my first choice). This because…

Lonneke in Oslo (Norway)

I would recommend everyone to study abroad! I was a very nervous and I think that this applies to a lot of people because you step out of your comfort zone. However, if I would get the opportunity, I would do it all over again! Even though I’m convinced that it doesn’t really…

Lonneke in Oslo (Norway)

I wanted to go to Oslo because of the city, and I was lucky that there was a university there that I could go to with nice courses. I mainly chose the place instead of the university, because I also wanted to make some trips and that was possible from Oslo…
