The one thing I wished I would have known before going on exchange is.

So much paperwork! Be prepared and be on top of everything as no one will be managing that for you. You need to be organized, especially if France is your host country, because the administration system there are certainly not top tier!

Going on exchange challenged me because...

I had never lived by myself before, so that was certainly new and a challenge.

I recommend going on exchange because...

It is truly life changing and a once in a lifetime opportunity.

The most unexpected part about exchange was…

How cheap the flights were for travel, and how similar the host university's system was to Concordia's!
