Meet Malaya Hart-Weller

Hello! I'm a fourth-year student majoring in Human Relations. I have a passion for exploring new places and meeting new people. During my time studying abroad in Spain, I immersed myself in Spanish culture and had the opportunity to travel across Europe. I'm a strong advocate for international exchange programs, as it can present one with unique challenges and personal growth opportunities that you might not experience otherwise.

A tip I would give to students applying for exchange is…

Take your time with the applications, and be patient—everything will work out. It's also helpful to connect with others who will be attending the same university abroad; they likely share similar questions and concerns.

The coolest place I visited while on exchange was...

One of my favourite places I visited was Lisbon, Portugal. I loved the art and energy in which the city provides. 

I felt like I made a great decision to go on exchange when…

I found myself sitting at a table with 15 other individuals from more than seven different countries, all of us sharing stories about our cultures and experiences. 

I recommend going on exchange because...

I believe that going on an exchange is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It allows you to meet new people and travel around the world. Additionally, experiencing another country's education system is an incredible way to expand your academic knowledge and be challenged in ways you might not experience otherwise.
