Hey! I’m Jane and I’ve just finished my second year studying Law at Durham. I’ll be spending my third year at the Université de Rouen just north-west of Paris doing pretty much the same thing (but the catch is that it’s all in French). Check out my blog for info on having lectures in a language that is altogether foreign to you, law exchanges and some guaranteed mishaps documented for your entertainment.

 

 

 

Hello! My name is Nick and I am a mature Physics student. I am about to replace the third year of my four year masters degree at Durham university with a year of study at McMaster in Ontario, Canada. I have never even been to Canada but I have heard good things from everyone I have spoken to so I can’t wait to spend a full year there. Wish me luck!
