Getting good grades while on exchange can really impress a grad school. It demonstrates resilience, hard work, flexibility, adaptability and the ability to thrive under pressure. Doing well at one school, in one setting, in one country is great. Doing well at more than one makes you really stand out. It's also an opportunity to gain the most from your degree. One of the things students often lose sight of is that they are a student – they're paying tuition fees to gain not just a degree but an education. Going on exchange and putting in that effort during exams (and the rest of the year) makes that education all the more valuable. Mackenzie Lockhart, 2014-2015

Queen's University

Queen's University is a community, 175 years of tradition, academic excellence, research, and beautiful waterfront campus made of limestone buildings and modern facilities. But more than anything Queen’s is people. We are researchers, scholars, artists, professors and students with an ambitious spirit who want to develop ideas that can make a difference in the world. People who imagine together what the future could be and work together to realise it. Queen's is one of Canada's oldest degree-granting institutions, and has influenced Canadian higher education since 1841 when it was established by Royal Charter of Queen Victoria.

"Kingston is an amazing university town. It is beautiful and sits right on a lake. The course content was really interesting and there was more interaction between lecturers and students. I found classes to be very engaging and at the same level or maybe slightly higher than UWA. My advice is to do absolutely everything. Take every new and different opportunity. It's the time of your life." Jaynie Carmichael, Bachelor of Science - Biomedical Science, 2013
