"Going on exchange was one of the best experiences of my university career. I believe any student who has a chance should go for a year abroad. The challenges and experiences will change your perspective of yourself and your perspective of the world. You will challenge your limits and in the process learn more about your abilities and make friendships that will last a lifetime."

Study Abroad and Exchange, Latin America and Spain
cubaMy 6-week experience in Cuba was amazing as a travel experience, but even more lucrative as a learning experience. Being immersed in the language all day, every day made learning much easier than it would have been sitting down for homework every night in Canada. I was also learning by doing everyday activities, such as browsing in a bookstore, going out to restaurants with friends, and hanging out with local students. I can say now, with confidence, that I can speak Spanish and feel comfortable enough to carry on a conversation with old teachers. I used to be embarrassed to speak because I knew I made mistakes and didn’t have much practice, but my experience abroad broke the ice and encouraged me to speak more often. This ultimately made me a better Spanish student, and made finishing my certificate a lot easier!
