Die besluit om n uitruil program te doen is nogals groot. Jy verlaat die gemak van dit waaraan jy gewoont is vir die vreemde wereld daar buite. Maar wees verseker dat di teen van die verreikenste ervarings van jou lewe sal wees.

Crezell’s Beijing Story
PREPARATION, DEPARTURE AND ARRIVAL IN BEIJING:
(Program: Postgraduate – Mandarin Honours Degree. Exchange: September 2014 – January 2015)
Preparing for arrival in Beijing was chaotic to say the least. Even though we are part of a mandarin honours program our planning regarding our stay in Beijing was just as intense as any normal exchange student. The majority of our administrative duties were settled before our departure. Being Mandarin Honours student the majority of our time prior to departure were spent on tending to our thesis, the first draft had to be handed in in before we leave for China.

ARRIVAL AND THE MAASTRICHT EXPERIENCE:
(7 September 2014)
3 weeks ago I arrived at Schipol International airport in Amsterdam for the start of my exchange. The place is huge – I couldn’t actually believe how far I had to walk to go fetch my luggage after disembarking from the plane. I chatted to someone who was on the same flight as me and that made me feel slightly less nervous about everything which was to come. After collecting all my luggage I managed to find my way to the correct train to Maastricht.
