Calebark:
Welcome back after all this time! I don't know much about exchange semesters, so I'm making a formal request for details pls. Did you study in one country and visit the others in your free time? Or bits and pieces of study in multiple countries? Either way super exciting

it's been almost 6 months since I've posted...but wow...it's been quite a 5.5 months I must say :)
semester 2, 2018:
so I spent mid august to mid jan in europe doing my exchange semester. was amazing. visited 20 countries. once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. if anyone is ever considering exchange, i would strongly recommend it. i did have my downs but i definitely do not regret it at all. met so many people from around the world, saw so many sights, tasted great food and did so many things i wouldn't usually do! to think even 12 months ago that i would cruise the baltic sea, walk around the red square in moscow, climb the eiffel tower, visit the colosseum, see oia santorini at sunset, ride a gondola in venice, cruise along the danube river...the list goes on! it was also my first white christmas and i also loved experiencing the european christmas markets! i could ramble on about my trip! (i'm actually considering doing another exchange in next year, but we'll see when time comes :P)

Exchange sounds sooo cool. I have definitely though about going, and it seems to be a very valuable and worthwhile experience.

thanks! yeah basically you just stay in one country, but since Europe consists of several small countries all located very close to each other, I travelled in my free time (during my mid-semester break, I visited 5 countries in 9 days which was pretty cool :P - quite a short stay in each country but i wanted to see as much as I could)
there are short programs which exist if you are interested in only doing a couple of weeks over the break or something (not too familiar with these) and then you may travel afterwards (or before)

Loving seeing your update, strawbs! ^-^
I'm so glad you secured accommodation, I hear that is a pain to get sometimes, haha! :)
What are you looking forward to most this semester? :)
