"My exchange experience was so much more than I anticipated. I ticked off things on my bucket list such as bungee jumping, solo travelling and becoming fast friends with people from all over the world. Meeting people from all walks of life, from different cultures and with different worldviews, shaped my values and allowed me to grow. My advice: step outside your comfort zone. Do what scares you. Be open to new experiences, meeting new people and different ways of thinking."

"Exchange at Washington DC opened my eyes to different cultures and perspectives. My classmates were all postgraduates and older than me, so classes were pretty intimidating for me at first. DC is also a food paradise – owing to the immigrant population, I managed to taste different cuisines like Salvadoran, Ethiopian, Mexican and Afghani. Nonetheless, my favourite memory is driving three hours every weekend to the east coast at Assateague Island to camp and surf with local surfers!"

"My semester abroad in Sweden was a highlight of my time as an undergraduate. Students from all corners of the globe were once again converging on Lund as the world started to close a chapter on Covid-19. It was a great opportunity to build friendships of a lifetime. I also took the chance to do things uniquely possible in Scandinavia: study Swedish, see the Northern Lights, tour the Norwegian Fjords, and much else. The possibilities are endless"
