Studying a semester abroad has been a life changing experience for me. Personally, I went to Bali and not only did I broaden my knowledge on topics regarding my current studies, but I also met a lot of new people, got better at speaking English, saw a lot of beautiful places of Indonesia and learned a lot about the Indonesian culture. AsiaExchange made it possible for me to choose from a lot of studies and countries and were always very helpful with any questions I had during the application process. I definitely recommend studying abroad with AsiaExchange!
