Why?

Studying abroad enhanced my international network which might lead to a wider career opportunities for in the future – Student School of Architecture in Madrid

The main benefit was to compare Architecture cultures tosee what else is possible and important in the architecturebranches – Student University of Melbourne

Exchange was for me an unforgettable adventure where youare discovering a country, yourself and make friends for life. – Student TU Graz

I've learned to bemore independent, to adapt to different cultures and to take as many opportunities as possiblewhen they come up – Student University of Bath
