exchange
From Erasmus, summer exchangs, semester or year long exchanges, to doing a year of masters study overseas, the opportunities to study abroad are aplenty.
When you choose to study abroad, one can safely assume a part of you has the desire to travel, have new experiences, meet new people and basically see the other side of the world.
Depending on the situation you're in, sometimes you get to go on an exchange with your friends, but more often than not, you don't.
In Singapore, doing a semester abroad is pretty common. People go with their uni course mates, make friends, form travel groups even before they leave the country, or even get to do an exchange with their significant other in the same city!
Unfortunately, for my course, the situation was largely different. I'm part of a uni programme that includes a full year abroad, and I could choose between 2 schools - Imperial College and UC Berkeley. I was the only one from my specialisation that chose Imperial (and i'd do it all over again!)
Out of 54 people in my class, there were 9 of us that went over to London, but we were all from different specializations, and I was the only one from mine. Since Imperial College doesn't have an official exchange with my home university, I didn't get to meet other Singaporeans from other courses, much less form a travel group of anything. But I still managed to have a great deal of experiences, especially when it came to traveling, without having to take money from my parents!
So here are some of my tips on how to make the best of your exchange experiences!
1. Manage your expectations
Here's the hard truth. Right from the start.
A year abroad isn't going to be easy for everyone.
Before my year abroad, I thought going on an exchange would be easy, fun, less academically strenuous. So many seniors and friends have shared with me how their exchange was all fun and play and that it was EXTREMELY EASY to pass or even score As. Upon arriving in Imperial, I was faced with a rude shock - IT WAS SO NOT EASY.
Whilst my other friends doing their semester exchange in other parts of Europe could travel during the school week and had only 2 days of lessons, I was stuck with 3 hours of morning lab sessions almost every single day, followed by lectures in the afternoon.
You can clearly tell I was less than pleased.
Fact: some people do have it easier. That doesn't mean you will.
My friends who did business or humanities courses rave about how much easier school was during their time abroad, but each to its own.
Some business students have it difficult especially if the courses they take are intensive. I've met students who do their MBAs overseas and they will definitely say it isn't a smooth ride.
So, manage those "I'm gonna travel the world this year! Who cares about studies!!" expectations (else you'd be miserable like I was for about 3 months before you accept the fact).
If you're in engineering or a science course, don't expect to have it easy. If you're taking 11 core courses in a year, don't expect it to be easy. If you're doing labs, don't expect to have loads of free time. That way, If you happen to have it easy, it's a bonus!
2. Know Your Priorities
Fact: You can't do everything. (As much as you want to)
I have friends who gave up traveling because they wanted to participate in different school actives. I on the other hand, gave up school activities to travel. Some people prioritise learning certain skills, like cooking, baking or engaging in activities they never had a chance to before. But more often than not, people choose travel.
Well, everyone is different and as long as you set your own priorities up front, you do you, and just make the most of your exchange experience the way YOU want to.
3. Ignore the Nay-sayers
Priorities for everyone will be different. For me, I never had the luxury of frequent traveling during holidays when I was younger. I probably went on 2 trips the entire of primary school and 1 in secondary school. And funded the rest of my travel experiences (excluding school trips) from my allowance savings post secondary school - which meant no way I could afford a ticket to Europe!
So prior to leaving home, it was already set in my mind that TRAVEL will be a priority for my year abroad.
Fact: People WILL judge you. Be it in your new school or back at home. They will comment on how you're "rich" because you travel - NO. I'm not. Neither are my parents. And no they definitely did NOT give me money for my year abroad.
Basically, people start making remarks whenever you don't conform to the norm. As an exchange student, you're definitely not the norm. So go, experience the life of an exchange student. You deserve it.
4. Don't be afraid to have experiences alone
Traveling alone or joining a school activity alone, if you want to experience something, go for it!
I had so many solo-travel experiences because my friends couldn't make it. Imagine if i'd only travel if they were available?! I would have missed our on SO MANY fun travel experiences.
I also joined the pole dancing club. In an asian culture, pole dancing is a little bit of a taboo. I have always wanted to try it, but never had the guts to when I was in Singapore.
Im so glad I went for a few lessons alone when I was in London. It was so enjoyable, I'm thinking of doing it regularly now that I'm back in Singapore.
Fact: Going on exchange with a group of people from your home country doesn't mean you have to do everything together. You DONT have to join the same activities and you DONT have to travel together.
If you want to go to Portugal, and no one else is available? Put on your big girl (or boy) pants, and just go for it! On your own. SOLO-POWER! The lessons you gain from traveling alone far outweighs the initial fear of stepping out of that comfort zone we all have.

5. PLAN
Your academic calendar
Your travel calendar
Your budget (this is probably the worst)
All these NEED sufficient planning.
Im not advocating skipping lessons... but as an exchange student (IF your grades don't count into your GPA - like mine) I think the rule of attending all your lessons can be slackened.
Depending on the course and school you are in, there are different requirements. Some schools don't allow you to skip lessons, while others are more flexible. Make sure you attend the first lessons of all your modules so you have a gist of what the different modules are about. Also, to pick out important test dates, work submission dates, exam dates etc.
For me, I made sure I had a full solid month to study before examinations (and then pretty much travelled the rest of the time hahaha!) and I made sure I started my assignments as early as possible, and complete 90% at least 2 day before submission.
When you have your academic calendar sorted out, you can start planning your travel calendar :) Thats the most exciting part!
Budget wise, I planned for every trip I take. Accom prices, how much money I'm taking, if i'd need transport. Pre-download maps. The usual drill.
Basically, Plan. FOR EVERYTHING.

There you have it. 5 Tips to have a more enjoyable and memorable year abroad!
These tips seem very easy and straightforward, but trust me, when you're caught up with the new high of being in a different country, or continent, all these go right out of your head. You'll probably be bursting with excitement from all the possible travelling opportunities, or you might be sitting alone in your new room feeling a tad bit homesick. Either way, just remember that you're so so so lucky to be doing an exchange/year abroad. Make the most of it!
Create wonderful memories where you can look back on years later and say, I'm glad I did that.
Create stories you can tell your kids and grandkids in the future!
Hope you found this useful, and all the best for your year/semester abroad xx
5 Tips to Make the Most of Your Year Abroad
24 August 2015
Taking advice from me might seem ridiculous, but, I definitely know how much is needed and how much isn’t. So technically, I can be your bench mark :)
Unfortunately, those who will be going to other parts of the world for exchange, namely Europe, you don’t get the same luxury.
No - you will not be able to survive on Primark clothes and it is not as cheap as what you can get in the U.S. when they have sales.
I’ve survived cold winter temperatures (AND SNOW!) , and I have a sufficient amount of clothes to have 2 weeks of different outfits.
*P.S. I coerced Jerald into helping me for this article, and we had a discussion about it on a train ride to Venice. You can trust Jerald. He is one super organised, mildly OCD, intense person when it comes to packing things.
A few days ago, a dear friend of mine came into London to spend sometime with me on my birthday weekend. Over dinner, we were exchanging winter travel plans and she started sharing some of her dramatic encounters during her exchange programme thus far.
It revolved around how people are too quickly to judge your actions and question your decisions, without really understanding your situation.
It stemmed from the fact that traveling is seen as a luxury that people, like us, who come from humble backgrounds, don't deserve to enjoy. Where we come from, the older generation - sometimes even the youths too, believe that traveling and visiting new places is not considered as a part of learning or education. More often than not, it's being frowned upon and perceived as part of a lavish lifestyle, one we should not adopt because our families aren't wealthy.
Money has always been a very touchy subject in my family. A term you refrain from using, as if it were Voldermort. I'm lucky enough to have the money to travel without having to work. That being said, the money is not more than sufficient. In fact, it is less.
So here's how i've been rationing my allowance to have more money for travel:
1. Reduce Shopping Expenditure
Telling myself every item of clothing I buy can probably fund 1 night stay in a hostel.
Plus having a really small cupboard in Halls means not having sufficient wardrobe space. It also means I have to put in more creative brain juice refrain from repeating outfits. Seems like a win-win situation!
I use to shop a lot. $100 each time I checked out my cart - say once every 2 months, sometimes once a month. After living alone in Paris, I stopped shopping excessively. Partly because I could hardly find clothes at "thailand prices" and I cannot justify buying luxury goods.
People constantly tell me Paris and London have amazing places for shopping because things are so cheap. I do not agree.
2. Not Eating Out
Unfortunately, I don't have the luxury of meal plans in my hall - meal plans that my counterparts in america get, that they don't have to pay for, yes i am jealous.
But that's okay. There is always a way around.
a) Sandwiches are really cheap when you make them yourself.
b) Cooking in a group means you get to split the grocery cost - thats a real good plus point.
Of course you can let yourself have a good meal say once every month or something, but there are always cheaper places to go to. All those frequent Café Hoppers - THERE IS YOUR PLANE TICKET TO ANOTHER COUNTRY.
Alternatively, cooking = learning a new skill and you'll never want to pay 4pounds for a sandwich from the school canteen that you can make yourself (Lesson learned after buying 3 not very nice sandwiches).
p.s. I use to be all obsessed over Starbucks and coffee, but now, no. 3 Starbucks drink = 1 night of hostel rental.
Also, packing lunch when going for day trips (see point 4) helps to save a lot more money!
3. Eating Less
No snacking, unless biscuits are on sale/under a pound.
Eat less but please don't starve yourself.
I don't mean go on a diet, or eat less than required to save money, but eating less snacks, and eating proper meals does save a lot. From the looks of it, I'm spending a lot on snacks. If you're like me, and prefer Tyrells / Kettle / any other more expensive brand of snacks, then this point is especially important.
I realise, 75p Sainsbury Brand Digestive Biscuits are so much cheaper and more worth it than a £2 bag of chips.
4. Taking Day Trips
This probably works only if you're in a bigger country with multiple intercity train lines. For a small country like Singapore, it would be hard to take day trips anywhere other than Johor Bahru in Malaysia.
But, after living in the European Continent, I realised taking Day Trips is an amazing way to travel, explore different cites, and save on the lodging fees. Lodging in most UK cities cost minimum about £15-20 a night, as a college student I don't have the ability to pay for that. So, taking day trips as opposed to weekend trips is a much better alternative.
Alternatively, you can always stayover/crash at a friend's place, or try couchsurfing. Since I have no experience in that (yet), I can't give any tips.
5. Recording EVERYTHING I purchase
This is so much harder for me than I could have ever imagined.
Honestly. I have never been good with recording my finances.
I tried keeping a log of what I spent on whilst in Paris, that sort of failed. After 2 months, I stopped recording down, probably because I was having an internship allowance.
But, there isn't any more inflow of cash whilst in London. And with that in mind, I must say, thus far I'm doing good. After 1 month in London, I think I'm within my budget - this includes having to buy things like pots, pillows, shoe rack, rail cards, and other settling in stuff.
Plus, recording everything diligently (as diligently as I can - 'A' for trying) shows you how much money is spent, and where. Using an excel sheet allows me to see how much I spend on groceries, travel, and other miscellaneous stuff.
I learnt a tip from a guy friend of mine. He told me that he recorded everything on his phone, and then transferred it all to an excel sheet maybe once a week. After adopting his method, it was a lot easier to keep a log of the outflow of cash from my pocket.
Prior to using his method, I would open my excel sheet everyday and attempt to recall what i've spent. But every time I turned on the computer, I open safari and that's it.
So, Thank You Daryl. I'm sure my parents would be proud of my new found financial recording ability.
People tend to restrict themselves because they don't see a possibility in certain things happening. Most people don't see a possibility in traveling because they believe it is expensive.
Recently, I've come to realise that money should NOT be a restriction. There is always a way to save up, to work, and to fight for your dreams - be it travel, art, photography. Mine is to travel. Money (or the lack of) should not be the determining factor.
I'm not going to make my parents pay for my traveling expenses, so that's what I've been doing and trying to do to ration my budget so as to be able to travel more during the breaks.
Let me know if you have more tips!

"You don't have to be rich to travel."I saw this quote on Pinterest the other day, and I believe its true. You don't have to spend excessively to travel. In fact I've been always taught to live within my means.
So here's how i've been rationing my allowance to have more money for travel:
1. Reduce Shopping Expenditure

A £50 pound bag is not cheap. It probably used to be £200. That does NOT justify the purchase - something I realised last summer.
By not buying that bag, that wallet, that pair of discounted shoes, you actually end up with A LOT more money to travel.
One way of going about with self constrain is, if you second guess the purchase, don't buy it. If the thought "SHOULD I get this?" don't get it. "What if I regret?" always follows closely after, but unless you absolutely need it (for example, gloves for winter when you don't have any), you will NOT regret.

You Don't Have To Be Rich To Travel
22 November 2014
That was my blatant attempt at personification. Guess I should stay away from that from now on.
Some people have said Barcelona is a beautiful city, however, having lived in Paris for 3 months, living in London now, and having Amsterdam as my first european city getaway, makes it really hard for many other european cities to match up.
Thats because London and Paris are 2 absolutely beautiful cities, its so hard to compete. Architecture wise, Paris is COMPLETELY PICTURESQUE. And London, well, I LOVE London (in the day too but more so) at Night!
This is the reason why I was not completely blown away the 3 days I was at Barcelona. But don't get me wrong! I enjoyed every moment I was in Barcelona - minus the part where I fell sick - and had my fair share of "OMG. THIS IS COOL." moments during the trip!
Of course, I know, its not a competition. Barcelona has a lot to offer, and I was so glad I had the opportunity to visit.
The 3 and a half days trip was fun, laid back, and most definitely a relaxing getaway from all things school and engineering related - I skipped 2 days of lessons (well like 3 hours in total) for this trip.
Little post-trip story:
I took Vueling Airlines in to Barcelona from Gatwick Airport in London, and since the flight was really early, plus it takes almost 2 hours (door to door) to get to Gatwick, Jerald and I decided to hobo it out overnight at the airport.
This meant that I had NO SLEEP - maybe 1-2 hours comprising of 10min sleep intervals - for the first day. But we still had fun and walked a lot, and then crashed at night at about 10pm. First ever experience staying out at an airport, and I must say, it was thanks to that huge cup of Costa Coffee.
In my next few posts, you'll get to see more pictures of the iconic places I visited, and my thoughts about them :)
If Barcelona Was A Girl...
26 October 2014 Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain
To sound more objective after the previous post, and give a more positive outlook to life on exchange, I decided to shed light on the happier/more interesting things that have happened since I've started living in London.
1. I finally tried pole dancing - and I'm probably going to continue.
- Hopefully I get to do Aerial here as well!
2. I've gone to the supermarket like every other day for groceries. I think I'm starting to get really good at making meals out of £1 or 2 for £5 groceries.
3. I went for a Boat Party down the Thames.
- Wasn't much of a party with £5++ booze, but the view was gorgeous!
4. Reconciled a certain important friendship I thought was lost forever.
5. Having decent Asian food = cravings have yet to kick in.
- Includes: Tonkutsu with my beloved Siow, whom I hope has the best time of her life here in London. Four seasons with Aunty Anna, Serene and 2 of mum's ex-students. Chopsticks for a post boat party supper.
6. Having a really nice roommate.
- Friends have told me that they feel like they don't have their own personal space when they have a roommate, but its been good for me thus far. My roommate and I have very different schedules, so we don't see each other THAT often, but, I very much enjoy spending time with her :)
We've already gone shopping together!
7. Having kind Singaporeans in class.
- Kind, and SMART and Hardworking. This means I have a lower chance of failing the year even if I were to skip class cause I can look to them for help? Haha! Being the only exchange student in the level (most exchange students take like 2 mods from yr 1-4, but I take majority of Y2 imperial chem eng modules) I was worried that I would not be able to find companions and that i'll be just left alone to fend for myself (academically) - and we all know that I don't exactly fair very well in this aspect.
So thankful to meet them, well actually, they introduced themselves to me, which makes me even more grateful for that!
8. I've eaten more than 5 big bags of Tyrrells Veg Crisps in the last 2 weeks.
- If I go back to Singapore double in size next year, this is why.
9. I was never a huge fan of sweet things like chocolate and ice-cream, but my Sophia got me hooked on Snickers Ice Cream Bars.
- I've had 1 everyday in the last 3 days.
10. Living SUPER near to school.
- Living in a hostel has its good and bad, but oh my gosh. Its so good to live a 3 min walk from the Chemical Eng Building.
I'm not sure if I should say I'm grateful for 8 & 9, but its nice to be able to snack without feeling the guilt (yet!)
That's a little positive update from me! I'm actually really excited for the coming year. Even though I predict that school work will be such a b*tch, having travel plans and something to look forward to during the weekends will most definitely make things a lot easier.
I hope I don't appear schizophrenic after this post! I still stand by the fact that if you ever have the chance to live alone overseas - be it summer exchange, an overseas internship, a full semester/year exchange, or even a short 2 weeks immersion program - YOU SHOULD TAKE IT.

Opportunities like this hardly ever come by, and as a student/youth, you get subsidies, and travelling is so much cheaper than if you were to go to the same places as an adult. It would be silly to pass up such an opportunity.
I know some people do have financial constrains, but there is always a way to get around it - work and save up, apply for grants, student loans etc. Being on a scholarship, I know I'm one of the luckier ones, and for that, I'm extremely grateful. Still, I know of friends who work around their financial situations and had/are having the time of their lives learning and growing from living overseas.
One important thing i've learnt thus far is: shit happens sometimes during exchanges, but the bad makes you appreciate the good that much more, and you learn important lessons in each and every step along the way. Ultimately, it is up to the individual to determine how meaningful the experience is.

10 Happy Things Since Moving to London
21 October 2014 London, UK
As students living on a budget, £2.20 to take the tube from South Kensington to Oxford Circus costs too much. So instead of taking the tube, we decided to take a nice little stroll across Hyde Park to get to Oxford Street to kill sometime before an international student mixer last week. 
The cool weather in London makes walking around really enjoyable. It was a nice having a slow late afternoon stroll through hyde park, watching ducks and swans bathe themselves and little children running around playing with bubbles and chasing pigeons.
I get it now why people say London is grey. Everything, including the sky just seems to be a little greyer over in London. Did not have much trouble with the weather initially when I first arrived last week, but as of late, its been getting a lot colder, windier, and raining a lot more. Nevertheless, I'm still enjoying the life here in London.
Also, living 5 mins away from school is always a good thing. Longer sleeping hours, I will not complain!
Walking out of Hyde Park, we saw the Marble Arch. Looked like a Minature Arc de Triomphe, though I'm not sure if it has the same significance to London as the Arc de Triomphe has to France. After passing the Marble Arch, we could finally say "Hello Oxford Street!"
Ending off with the typical bright red London double-decked bus that everyone knows about. Hope you enjoyed the pictures, I can't wait to visit more places in London (and perhaps - sooner than later - other parts of the UK as well!)
Stay tune for more visits/pictures taken from running around town!
