Experiences of our students
Semester Review – China Edition
It’s hard to believe how quickly this semester has passed. A semester full of adventures, new friendships, and personal challenges that I will not forget anytime soon.
First steps in China: My start at XJTLU
After my first impressions, I knew that China was the place for me. The decision to attend Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU) in Suzhou felt surprisingly right, and came quickly.
Learning & Living in Kuala Lumpur
Just do it!
I thought long and hard about whether I
should spend a second semester abroad.
Looking back, I can say quite clearly that I
do not regret this decision in any way. The experiences
and memories I gained during this time
speak for themselves.
Between campus and city lights: My semester abroad in New York
Looking back on my semester abroad in New York, I honestly find it hard to put everything into words. The past few months were intense, challenging, beautiful, and formative all at once. It was a time in which so much happened, and I not only got to know a new city but also rediscovered myself in many ways.
San Diego Review – A semester to remember
In the winter semester of 2025, from August 15 to December 18, I completed a semester abroad at San Diego State University (SDSU). This period was an exceptionally meaningful and formative experience for me, both academically and personally.
Studying in London: One semester at LSBU
One semester in London is coming to an end—and with it, an unforgettable time for me that has helped me grow tremendously both academically and personally.
