The coolest place I visited whil eon exchange was…

Okinawa in the winter. There was no tourist on the island at all. I walked to the beach everyday and listened the wave in the night. I enjoyed the local culture and the nature.

I recommend going on exchange because…

It is really a good way to find out what you truly like if you are thinking living in another country. I always wanted to live in Japan. From this exchange experience, I learned more about the country, the people and how daily life looks like that you can not learn from travel. It is also helpful for your networking that you will meet so many people from all over the world. You will not only learn from the class that offered by your host school,  but your classmates or roommates.

I felt like I made a great decision to go on exchange when…

I made my first friend in the residence, and we made pancake together. It is interesting that how people just suddenly become friends. In the end, we decided to have a pancake party in our unit and made everyone else joined. It might sound silly that was the moment I thought I made a great decision, but that was the moment that I felt I actually enjoying being in another country, and I knew I will be okay for the semester.

The most unexpected part about exchange was…

Keep enough space to take courses during exchange and make sure ensure the course list with your host school before departure.
