Do you want to be an exchange student?

Philippines

I am studying now at University of the PHilippines Diliman Philippines. I am very proud that I am part of this prestigious university in my country. But still, there is this part of me saying that I should go to other places and try to renew who I am. In the sense that, I am wanting to be more independent and feel the pain of longing. For I know this will make me grow. I want o be n exchange student especially in Germany, Korea, or Japan. I find it interesting to go abroad and make your own venture. Of course, you are there to study but the idea of exploring the new place and learn their culture would be the best part. Not that but having new friends and connecting with other social beings. If you are to be an exchange student, where would it be? I hope that I will experience being a student in a faraway land

I think you haven't read the introduction quite well. We live in the same country so it is really available in the Philippines. You just need to meet all the requirements. Furthermore, you know what you are near my university.^^) I am studying at the University of the Philippines DIliman, I peeked in your profile and saw you lived in QC. Fantastic, right? Question dear, How do you receive your payment you made here. I have been out of mylot for three years, and I just checked if Philippines can receive money from mylot but it doesn't belong in the list. I am just curious about it.

I would hope that you follow your dream if you can afford to. Yes, I wanted to be an exchange student, but with financial difficulties I cannot afford to. While in high school I would have liked to very much also, but the advisor chose someone other than me. I am really not sure where I would like to go. I am from Americas. I would probably want to go to China, Japan, The Philippines that is a very nice University their. I would also like to go to Polland, Norway, Austria, or Switzerland. I am more comfortable in the cold weather.

Financially, I hope the trip would be sponsored by the university but what I am worried about if that "hopefully" happens is the daily cost of my living. Asian countries would be very god if you want to study abroad since you'll be eposed to really cool cultures. Also, the tuition I think is much less in Asia especially in college. Thanks for the reply.^^
