Students be gone!!!!!

Leave your university (…for one or two semesters…) and become an exchange student at another university somewhere else on planet earth!

This is a constant message I pass on to my tourism students studying business degrees here at Victoria University, Melbourne, Australia. The benefits of traveling, learning, having lots of good times and perhaps a few not so good times, and generally just getting out of your mums house and learning how to be independent cannot be overstated.

Aini Siu is the Study Abroad and Exchange Coordinator for the University of Westminster, London. She was recently here in Melbourne and so we took the opportunity to record a podcast on how to become an exchange student at her uni.

If you are thinking of becoming an exchange student, consider Westminster, also consider Victoria University, but whatever you do, do it, then return to your own uni with a different perspective on your life and your studies.
