Lovisa is in her second year of the master's programme in Medical Biotechnology. In the spring semester of 2024, she was an exchange student at the University of Sydney, Australia.
What are the best tips you would give to other students thinking about studying abroad?
Apply in good time! Finding the right university, courses and accommodation takes longer than you think. In addition, you may be required to save some money if you go to, for example, Australia.
If you're going to Australia: Plan trips based on seasons early, for example, even before you go, to save money and time to enjoy once you're at your destination.
Be extra social during the first weeks of the semester! It's always easiest to meet people at the beginning, so go to reception activities and take the initiative to socialise with people you meet.
