    My first impressions of Helsinki!

    September 27, 2023 /

    by Chloe Bolton, University of Helsinki, Finland My first two weeks in Helsinki. What a whirlwind.  As you’d probably expect with any destination you’re going to, the first two weeks will be somewhat chaotic, but in an amazing way.  From meeting a whole bunch of people from all corners of Europe to figuring out how the student registration system works, moving into a new flat, getting to grips with the Finnish language and taking in the beauty of the city – you will love it. As things are slowly settling down and classes are starting, I thought I could talk you through what you might expect and experience when moving…

    MITACS Chapter 1: Arrival and settling in

    July 25, 2022 /

    By: Eva Kristinova (University of Regina, Canada, Mitacs Research Internship Scheme 21-22) For those of you who have been following my study abroad journey in France, it might be a little confusing to start reading about yet another trip without a proper closing. Two quick things on that: 1. saying goodbye is always difficult, and so I have been kind of avoiding it, even having left Toulouse behind; 2. who says it’s over?! Oh no, I am not done with France yet! So yes, I hope that inadequate explanation provided at least some closure. Moving on…

    Toulouse à Grande Vitesse… or not.

    September 15, 2021 /

    By Eva Kristinova, (Sciences Po Toulouse, France) Hello everyone and welcome to my year-long study exchange journey in Toulouse! We will start off with the good news so far: I’ve arrived. And I’m afraid that’s where it ends. To be fair I am somewhat to blame for all I’m about to tell you, but I hope that after reading this, you will admit that no amount of extra preparation could have helped. So let’s dive into my voyage from Brussels to Toulouse… oh, did I mention it was all by train? Well, now you know (and those of you familiar with the French TGV probably guessed as much from the…

🥁Drum roll please.... 🥁 Ok... so maybe the Go Abroad team won't be asking for your autograph Why not switch out the hustle and bustle of Oxford Road for Canadian lakes 🤔 "5 of us took a trip up to Yosemite national park and spent our fall break hiking, biking and taking in all the stunning views. We even tried to go swimming in the river but it was freezing. Nevertheless I really enjoyed my time and hope to visit more national parks in California." - From our Global Ambassador Ciara in LA! 🏊🚲 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...
