Meet Andrew Rover

Hey there, I'm Andrew Rover – I'm passionate about picking up new sports only to drop them a month later, pretending I'm a wine snob, and most of all just having a good time with friends. I recently studied abroad in Switzerland and had an absolute whale of a time. I'm happy share all the things I learnt with you so you can best be prepared for your studies abroad!

My experience abroad

Val-Thorens, France: Andrew Rover

 

The one thing I wished I would have known before going on exchange is.

How to budget! There are ways to have plenty of fun both living frugally and well, not so frugally.

Going on exchange challenged me because...

I had never lived alone, and I had never experienced not having a friend near me. This really took me out of my comfort zone and made me realize how willing total strangers are to sparking a friendship if you are just willing to take that first step.

I recommend going on exchange because...

You will make friendships that you will cherish for a lifetime.

The scariest part of going on exchange was…

Moving to another country alone (which ended up being my favourite part of my exchange).
