Hey Aska,
I just finished my first year and am looking into some programs for my subject POSt. I’m interested in the Biology Minor jointed with the National University of Singapore. I’ve read the Arts & Science Calendar about the requirements and such but there’s not much information on the exchange. I’ve never been in an exchange program so I don’t really know how things would go. Where would I stay? How much would everything be? What would I be doing at NUS? How many other UofT students would be there? I can’t seem to find much information on the program. I was hoping there would be blogs or forums about students’ experience in the program and at NUS but I can’t seem to find any. Plz help!

hey!
congrats on finishing your first year! i’m glad you’ve already looked into the requirements on the artsci calendar.
according to the outbound joint minor programs website, you need to apply for a term abroad separately through the CIE (centre for international experience). the website has tons of information about the application process, what documentation you need to have, and the various steps you need to take before going on exchange. be sure to check it out!
the CIE also has information about funding and bursary options, safety abroad workshops, and transfer credits.
i would really suggest getting in contact with the CIE or visiting them at the Cumberland House at 33 St. George Street. they’ll be able to give you more detailed information.
i hope that’s helpful, you jetsetter!
xoxo,
aska
