“I highly recommend you say goodbye to Tasmania for a while and take advantage of the great exchange programs that are offered throughout the world!!!”

In the second half of 2008, Chris Blake, a combined Bachelor of Business – Laws student did just this. Chris completed four of his law elective subjects whilst on exchange to the University of Ottawa, Canada.

Chris at the Football“Leading up to my trip I was constantly imagining what the university was going to be like, who I was going to meet and what great experiences I was going to have. I can now say looking back that my expectations were far exceeded. UOttawa has a huge exchange program with a great diversity of countries, which provided me with an amazing life experience that you could never have in Australia.”

“Ottawa being the capital of Canada, is bi-lingual, so French and English are spoken, which added to my experience being given two cultures in one city. Overall I had the most amazing/epic and beyond experience, the people I met and things I did I would never be able to do at home.”
