Exchanger Stories
It's very easy to get outgoing alumni to rave. The best way to do that is to ask them about their time abroad. In the Exchanger Stories, we want to give our former exchange students a voice to tell about their experiences abroad while studying at the Department of Geosciences and Geography.
Perhaps their stories will inspire a bit of wanderlust, and perhaps they will make you consider a study abroad experience yourself. After all, no one does a better job of promoting an exchange than outgoing alumni. But read for yourself!
