Exchange Myths
Myth1: You have to be a third year student.
Myth2: You have to be a straight "As" student.
Myth3: Studying outside Canada will cost you a fortune.
Myth4: You're a Forestry student not a languages or arts major, what good will it do you to go on exchange?
Myth5: You have to have a second language.
Myth6: It's too late to apply.
Myth7: You will have to hold back your graduation by a whole semester or worse by a whole year.
Myth8: Your program is too focused: none of the courses you'll take while abroad will be transferable.
Myth9: You will never be accepted into the program.
Myth10: Going on exchange is a one year commitment.
