October, 2011  Ivailo Ivanov
2011 Bachelor in Management and Organizational Studies |
My name is Ivailo Ivanov and I have had the pleasure of attending the National University of Singapore for the year 2010/2011. The exchange program is truly a life changing experience and although you may find it cliche since almost everyone who has had the experience says those exact words, I can almost guarantee that it will be no different for you. This is an opportunity for you to travel, to see the world from a different perspective, to meet people who you may stay in contact with for the rest of your life. I had the opportunity to travel all over
Asia when I was in Singapore and I was completely blown away, so
much that I have decided to stay and begin my career here. I
strongly recommend that you step out of your comfort zone and
use this opportunity to broaden your perspective of the world. |

July 2009Greetings from
Australia...
Here are a few that I have taken while on my travels. I was volunteering in Thailand as an English teacher. So, as you can imagine, I have thousands of pictures and a boxful of gifts and things the kids and teachers gave me. It was truly an unforgettable experience! I've also included some of my pictures from Australia. I have thousands of pictures from South-East Asia and the South Pacific---so here are just a few... Cheers!

May, 2009 Greetings from the Netherlands... I have really enjoyed my
exchange and it has given me the opportunity to see more clearly
the things that I love at Western but also those which could be
done better. Being away has made me value brief random trips
home to my family's embrace, my girlfriend's presence, and a
night out with close friends. Matthijs Jacob Jochem Van Gaalen |

December 2006Greetings from Hong Kong...
Here are some pictures from Hong Kong. The one on the left is outside of a Taoist temple; even though Hong Kong is a very fast-paced society, there are quiet and peaceful places. The next picture was taken in Sai Kung, a beach in Hong Kong; I love having the sea always so close! The bottom right picture was taken in Tai O, on Lamma Island; in contrast to the city, it is a small fishing village and is still very untouched by "modern" life. Alanna Mihalj |

 October 2006Greetings from St. Andrews...
My experience studying abroad at the University of St. Andrews, Scotland, was incredibly enriching, both academically and personally. Studying along side international students brought unique perspectives to course issues that I would not have otherwise been exposed to. As an international relations student, I was also fortunate enough to take courses from professors who specialized in such unique disciplines as Terrorism. Outside of school, the exchange allowed me to immerse myself in another culture and to travel extensively to places such as Egypt and Greece. It was certainly a memorable experience.

October 2006Greetings from the UK...I'm currently studying at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, UK. Given the close proximity to many historic European cities, I've been able to tour Europe. Here are photos from a recent trip to Paris, and one from Bath. Cheerio!! |

October, 2006 Greetings from The University of St. Andrews...I have only been in Scotland for one month and I already know it was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. Through my short time here, I have come to understand the importance of travel, experiencing and understanding other cultures, and challenging myself by exploring a broader education outside of my subject specialty. One can argue that I’m still in the honeymoon phase of my exchange, but I have already developed an assured sense of independence and a quiet but strong self- confidence; qualities that will last a lifetime. I love my courses and have such a great posse of friends here. To all UWO students, I implore you to take the risk and go on exchange. Whilst in university, seize this opportunity to become an intellectual and cultural romantic in Canada and abroad. Cheers!

 July 2006Greetings from Rotterdam...Hoi!!! My name is Michelle, and I am entering into my fourth year of Scholar’s Electives (BSc Psych). This past winter I had the wonderful opportunity to study abroad in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Studying abroad for a term was one of the best decisions I have made during my university career. I was able to meet and make friends with students from many different countries and backgrounds. This experience definitely enriched my studies at Western and helped me value the differences and similarities that we share. I definitely recommend an exchange program to anyone considering one, as it is a great way to make friends from around the globe, experience a different school system, and find out more about yourself. It makes you cherish what you have and urges you to grow as an individual. I am still uncertain as to what I will do after I graduate, but I feel that after studying abroad the world is now open to me! Daag! Michelle Laura Dekens |
