I was in Bordeaux, France for my exchange program in Kedge Business School.

My school was structured such that we completed 1-2 modules per month, and this gave me the freedom to travel quite a bit to countries such as Iceland and Scotland. In particular, I really enjoyed climbing Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh. 

My exchange in Kedge presented a completely new and different learning environment, and the interaction with the locals in and out of school allowed us to learn about their culture, language and city. Bordeaux is a wonderful place with the friendliest locals and great food and wine.

I truly enjoyed my exchange experience, which has helped me out of my comfort zone. On exchange, I grew comfortable with traveling across countries by buses, trains and planes, and sleeping in airports. I was able to survive new foreign places without data, and met many new people. These are all opportunities that I would not have had in Singapore.

Exchange has definitely taught me to be more independent, as I now know how to cook, find the cheapest tickets and accommodation, and to make the best of every situation. Europe is truly beautiful, and exchange is an experience that has changed my life.
