Why did you choose London for your academic exchange?
I've always wanted to live in London. What's more, improving my english was a main factor in the exchange for me. London didn't disappoint, and I loved my experience abroad. The city is beautiful, there's so much to do (I even regret not travelling around the rest of the UK), and because it's such a cosmopolitan city, I made friends from so many different backgrounds!

Why did you decide to do your academic exchange in the United States? 
New York was my number #1 choice as I wanted to do my exchange in an English-speaking country and discover a new culture at the same time. I’d never been to the United States before applying for the Global Manager Certificate in partnership with Pace University, so it was a great discovery for me.
