Dearest Year 1s and 2s, 

Thinking of going on exchange and but not sure how to start planning? Ever feel like you just need a peer or a senior who can give some advice or just someone to hear you out? 

NUS Peer Advising is here to help you! We're a team of students from different faculties who have all gone on exchange at various destinations before. We've been through the motions of planning where to go to applying, doing module mapping, right down to the whole new experience of living abroad! This whole process can be daunting and maybe even stressful, and that is why we're here to help you! You're not alone in this.  

We will be starting a SEP Drop in clinic where you will have the chance to speak to peers who can give advice and help you. We're always willing to listen! Best of all, we will be open every week and no appointment is required. Just come by as and when you are free. Find us at: 

SEP Drop in Clinic!
Date: 27 February - 28 March 2012 (Every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday)
Time: 12.00 noon to 2.00 pm
Venue: Shaw Alumni Foundation House #03-04 (Opposite the elevator)  

From Week 10-12, we will be planning sharing sessions for the different regions (Americas, Asia and Australia, and Europe). We will be announcing these sharing sessions on our Facebook page so remember to Like our page in order to receive updates on such sharing sessions! If you have any questions, please email us at peeradvising@nus.edu.sg.

So what are you waiting for? Come visit us in our Drop in Clinic!

Exchange Fair: 7 March 2012

NUS Peer Advising is organizing an Exchange Fair where you’ll get to meet NUS Students who have returned from exchange and Exchange Students who want to tell you more about their home universities.

This will be our second time organizing this event. You might want to check out pictures of last year's Exchange Fair that drew a crowd of almost 200 NUS students HERE.

So what are you waiting for? Let your exchange-destination shopping begin! Mark your calendars and make a date with us:

Exchange Fair 2012!
Date: Wednesday, 7 March 2012
Time: 2.00 pm to 5.00 pm
