    Prepping

    September 13, 2023 /

    By Olivia Bucherer-Ezer, University of Toronto, Canada It’s been just over a year since I packed up my life and set across the pond to start my year abroad in Toronto and it got me thinking about all the thoughts, fears and anxieties I had that, in retrospect, I truly didn’t need to worry about. So I thought it was suitable to whack them in a blog in case they provide any reassurance for those heading out this coming September.

    Returning and Reminiscing

    July 15, 2023 /

    by Olivia Bucherer-Ezer, University of Toronto, Canada It’s been two months since returning home from Toronto and 3756708911 “HOW WAS IT?!?!” conversations later, I thought I’d reflect a little on here about what a whirlwind of a year its been.

    A guide to finding accommodation in Toronto

    May 23, 2023 /

    By Olivia Bucherer-Ezer, University of Toronto, Canada Time to plan where to stay in Toronto? Let’s break some options down.  Just a cheeky disclaimer before we get into the nitty gritty’s of Toronto’s accommodation options… this is all based on mine or my friends experiences, which are obviously subjective so don’t be completely put off if you already something in mind. This is more of a guidance in case you have absolutely no clue where to start… just as I did this time last year.  So lets jump in and hopefully this can be of use!

    (Otherwise known, by a girl in my lecture, as the “Wannabe New York”. either way, no complaints.) by Olivia Bucherer-Ezer, University of Toronto, Canada Exactly two weeks into my adventure, it’s safe to say Toronto was nothing like I expected it to be… (in a good way don’t worry).

Are you going abroad for Semester 2 of this academic year? ✈️ "Studying in Hong Kong meant I had the opportunity to visit Japan during reading week! These photos are from Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. We got to experience the vibrant streets and busy city life of Tokyo and Osaka, as well as the more traditional sights and temples in Kyoto.🌃🏯🎎 And, of course, plenty of shopping along the way! 🛍️🛍️ Are you considering studying at American universities for your time abroad?🦅 There is reduced opening hours at the Go Abroad desk in the Atrium during reading week (2nd-6th November) 📣 We might be slightly biased about how great going abroad is... Interested in studying in the United States? 🇺🇸 Thank you for coming to our Go Abroad Fair yesterday - we hope you managed to speak to our partners from some our summer schools! Spend a day with our Global Ambassador Luci, who's spending their year abroad at the National University of Singapore! Applications for our International Exchange Programme are officially open! 🥳
