Preparing for your international exchange? Here's a guide to help you navigate the available resources and make informed decisions.

Connect with former exchange students

Want to know who’s already studied at your future destination? Reach out to students who have previously participated in exchange programs. You'll find contact lists organized by year, including student names, programs, host universities, countries, and semesters. These lists are updated throughout the year as new exchange placements are confirmed.

Engaging with our alumni community is a valuable way to enrich your exchange experience and build long-term professional connections worldwide.

Want a sneak peek into what daily life abroad really feels like? In addition to connecting directly with alumni, you can also explore Exchange Reports written by many students after their return. These reports are full of useful tips and authentic insights about their host university, academic life, housing, daily life, and cultural differences. They’re a great way to get honest and practical advice from students who were exactly in your shoes!

Keep in mind, however, that these reports reflect personal experiences and opinions. What one student enjoyed or struggled with might not be the same for you — so always take a step back and form your own judgment.

To easily find the website of the university you like, click on the link circled in yellow in the example below (example from the Places Offer).

• University Factsheets : 👉 Partner Universities Factsheets 👈
