yeah if you want to go to mexico, monterrey's probably the best place to go .. it's supposed to be one of the more like, advanced (haha totally not the right word) cities in mexico and its pretty close to texas too i think.

Its not *exactly* exchange, but we have to do a series of clinical placements for our course. Its 400 hours or something.

Theres a placement in India in a cerebral palsy clinic over there. I'm seriously considering going because it will be so different to what i've experienced over here. i think employers might like it too.

Its at the end of next year, its for about three or four weeks. We stay in the clinic so we dont have to pay much for accomodation but yeah i dont know

Next year I am going to Sydney on Exchange :P I am from Spain, if anyone wants to go there or any advice just tell me :P

[Miliux]

Yup i'm going on exchange.

I gotta go to exchange anyway. It's an integral part of my degree. If i don't i don't graduate.

Thinking of Uni of Amsterdam.

Maaaan - I wanna go exchange too but it's so hard to find courses in Japanese universities (yeah, I'd like to go to Japan) that fits with my degree (Seng) and then there's of course my parents whinging about not having enuff money - and then if I wanna go work and save money, they block me from doing so

[what971]

what is Seng?

I want to go to National University of Singapore maybe for commerce. does anyone know if its any good? i know their grad business school is one of the best in asia pac. Does anyone know what WAM id need to get in?

Also if i were to do accounting and fullfil my CA/CPA requirements, would CA/CPA accept a subsitituted required course from NUS instead of UNSW? im guessing its ok because of GAAP, but not really sure.

What makes it the best though? Does it really matter if you're really just going to stay there for a semester or two? Ok, you shouldn't go to some crap uni either but come on. As if you're going to go there just to study.

I'm thinking of NTU Tawain coz of the scholarship factor.
Initially, some friend thought maybe some where in mainland, but not sure if I can stand those mainlanders - communists.


Now the important thing I want to ask you people is this. Since I want to sharpen my mandarin and writing especially not that it's my major or anything. Should I consider learning traditional characters or simple characters. Since Taiwan still uses traditional characters. So is it going to be easy to apply traditional texts when readin and/or attempting to write simple texts. Let me know from your experiences. Thanks.

NTU is really good, id definitely recommend it out of the taiwanese unis

have u looked at beijing, fudan, tsinghua in China?
Im learning Chinese at UNSW. my mum from taiwan can very easily read the simplified texts but its hard for people learning simpified to read traditional

not entirely, I can read some traditional characters just based on the shape itself. It probably depends on what characters you're reading, some just gets so complex it's just too difficult to guess it.
but my dad said traditional characters have more historical meanings in it. Plus, it might also help me with reading kangji since Japanese is my third language.

I've only looked at fudan. But not really interested.

Confirmed.... im going to the US. Penn State University, slap bang in the middle of Pennsylvania. Looks pretty damn good. Leaving about August 07. So excited lol. Anyone else got any advice about exchange in the US???
