He studied abroad in Rotterdam, Netherlands, an experience that helped him develop important life skills and strengthened his academic understanding of his field.

“If you are curious about the world and open to learning from different institutions, an international learning experience can be one of the most meaningful parts of your education.” - Adam

🌎 Meet Sherry, an Ivey Business School HBA student who went on exchange to Norway!

She enjoyed the natural landscapes and unique culture, and built meaningful relationships.

“One of my favourite memories was a gruelling hike in the Lofoten Islands, far into the Arctic Circle. As we reached the summit, the sun emerged from behind the clouds, and we were treated to this absolutely stunning view overlooking Kvalvika Beach.” - Sherry

Thinking about going abroad? Stop by our Go Abroad Fair today, 10 a.m.–3 p.m. in the UCC Atrium, to chat with our Global Learning Ambassador team. They’re ready to share their experiences, answer your questions and help you explore your options.

Meet Akshaya, one of our Peer Guides!

A third-year student from Faculty of Health Sciences - Western University, Akshaya has been working as an International Orientation Assistant this summer. She finds it rewarding to help students navigate uncertainties in university life.

“Immerse yourself in the culture, meet people you may not normally cross paths with, and say yes to new experiences. Some of the best memories come from the things you were initially nervous to try.” - Akshaya

Looking to socialize between study breaks? Join us in the Global Lounge to enjoy conversation with new friends. All students are welcome to come to the Chu Centre this Monday to Wednesday from 4–7 p.m. and use the quiet study space. 💜
