Making the decision to take part in an international exchange was the best I have made in my life so far. I was given the opportunity to stay at my home university and study further modules or experience a semester abroad to complete my second year of my history BA degree. It was a hard decision to make initially; thinking about all the paperwork involved, sorting out accommodation and all the practical matters seemed impossible. However, once I was adamant that this is what I wanted to do, it was sorted in what seemed no time at all.
