Exchange leads to work in Qatar and San Francisco
It is commonly accepted that international experience is highly sought-after by employers. Lauren Timms and Lucy McKenzie never dreamt that going on exchange would lead them so quickly to their dream jobs.

Taylor McCarthy: Charles University, Prague (Semester 1, 2011)
Studying law abroad at Charles University was one of the best experiences of my life. I was able to study 6 courses to fill one semester worth of law electives and most focused on law in a Czech context. The coursework was fair and if you did the required work there was nothing stopping you from enjoying weekends (...and most if not all weeknights) for “non-study related activities”.

Lucinda O'Hair: Charles University, Prague (Semester 1, 2011)
It is fabulous to be young and living in Prague. I began my exchange with few expectations. My summer was hectic. I hadn't really had any time to make plans. I'm happy I didn't because all of my imaginings would have fallen short.

Bronwen Peberdy: Universitas Carolina (Semester 2, 2010)
Prague is the ideal place for exchange – it really has everything going for it. It is so different from Australia – the culture and history is so rich, the climate is not like anything we’re used to...

Jasmine Harkin: University of Economics Prague (Semester 1, 2010)
I shared a flat with 3 other girls – a Croatian, Slovakian and Canadian. We became great friends and I have since visited them all in their respective countries, as well as a friend in Austria and Iceland.

Michael Horn: Charles University, Prague (Semester 1, 2010)
The city was the most beautiful I have ever seen—gorgeous buildings from every architectural period I could imagine (even my communist-built dorm had a certain charm), great parks everywhere for relaxing in once the snow melted, and the Vltava river winding through the middle of it all, sparkling in the light from the theatres and bars.

Emily Cowley: Charles University, Prague (Semester 1, 2010)
Exchange in Prague taught me that no matter how impossible or difficult something may seem, it can be done – and it has the potential to provide you with the most amazing experience you can imagine.
