Australia is a country where I have never been able to visit, it would be a fantastic opportunity to go to school there because it would give me the motivation to tourist it by wanting to get to know more about the place I am staying at.

La Trobe University and University of Oregon have a partnership to allow students to take part in a direct exchange, which is what I will be engaged in. This means a wildly independent experience, with no familiarity to cling to, which for me will be incredibly motivating and allow for growth. La Trobe University also does not separate international/exchange students in classes, housing, or within any other university activities. This is exactly what I am looking for.

    852 Words  | 4 Pages

    Many people plan to see the world or to travel at some point in their life and have new experiences but few ever get the opertunity to do so either due to work, school or simple problems in everyday life. The few that do however get the chance to travel abroad and see the world might not be able to do so until they are very old or have retired. Because of this I propose a program that would allow students to see the world while they are still in school, realitively unbrudened by things such as work or worry of money, bills or insurence. The program I have in mind is known as the student exchange program. The student exchange program allows for a student to leave their country of residence and take up residence in another country all while still going to school and studying within the country.
