你不可不知的奥大exchange program!

already

Exchange Fair
Date:11th March, 2009
Place:Quad

今天看了一下奥大的板块，有不少新生的新手问题贴，或是学生会的宣传贴，又或是联谊类的。在大学的必修课里，爱情学业社团当然少不了。不过这基本上是20年前的标准了。近年来得益于交通资讯交换的日益发达，世界各国各大高校间“交流生活动”也日渐频繁。我圣诞刚从加拿大一所不错的高校交流回来，觉得这是个很难得的机会，所以诚心向大家介绍一下自己的个人经历。（我只是在履行我通过interview时的保证，让更多人认识这个机会）

exchange program 360（360是exchange office的官方名字）
作为世界前50名的高校之一（这是当年我入学的数据，据说今年掉到70了），奥大和世界排名前100的多个高校都有交流生计划。计划的宗旨是推广学术和文化的交流，让学生在学费维持不变的情况下，去其他学校和当地学生一样学习1到两个学期。去年奥大送走了600多个学生，除了我去的加拿大之外，欧洲，新加波，日本，美国等地也是非常热门的选择。

其实你符合条件
这不是一个针对优异生的计划。一般来说GPA B以上就是符合资格的申请人，基于去年有如此庞大数量的交流生出国（outbound student），我觉得只要你有走出去的勇气和热情，就应该给自己一个机会试一下！告诉他你为什么希望出去，例如想要了解不同的文化，爱好旅行，想锻炼自己的适应力。有别于国内一般的公费留学，这些交流生办公室的本意是为学生服务，尽量多地给学生机会，而不是一味地拔尖。只要你interview的时候让他看到你的passion和向往，成绩又差不离，他们基本上都会被你能被打动。

费用问题
交流期间你依然缴纳原有的学费给奥大，其他费用如住宿费和来回机票费需要自己想办法。如果是已经在外面自己住的学生，去交流的费用其实也不会比现在的开费高出太多。而且有student allowance的同学，studylink貌似会在你在外读书期间，继续资助你（我没有申请，不过当时在studylink的网站上他是这么写来着）。另外如果你交换的学校是university 21这个组织的成员，你可以申请NZ$1200左右的旅费补贴，基本上是你申请就一定能拿到，难度不大。

关于交流生，可以写很长的东西，不过这里就一切从简。尽管奥大在挑人上不会很卡，不过还是要自己给自己把关一下。任何好玩的事情都有它的代价，我妈朋友的女儿从美国回来，就决心再也不踏进美国一步。当然一个人在完全陌生的地方学习，刚开始困难是一定有的，不过也就是需要点时间习惯了一下。另外在选择大学方面，一来可以参考排名，二来我觉得还是先看城市/国家再选学校。如果去排名高的学校回来后当然很牛，不过相应的功课量也不是盖的。

总之有兴趣可以在下个礼拜三去卖公车票窗口的那片地方，会有一个交流生展览，提供各个学校的一些咨询，相片，从其他学校来到这里的交流生还有交流过回来的学姐学长们（就是我哈哈）为你耐心解答
，欢迎欢迎！时间是中午12点到3点。

一辈子可以去心仪国家和当地人一起学习的机会估计就这么一次，然后就只有读研读博，估计也不在大部分人的考虑范围内。物以稀为贵嘛，哈哈，想一想我还真想去第二次。

自己顶一下。。

给市长倒开水

我可能去 加拿大卡尔加里住两年

蒼楓雁

看起來不錯...

天空的感觉

很不错

CEOjennifer

恩，非常想去，不知道今年才有这个想法会不会太晚

CHNNO1

有个疑惑，postgraduate学生可以参加这个吗？

....oΟ药葫芦

在这里拿到身份的话 能转去清华呆呆吗?

happymaple

这挺好的~~~~不限制那个年级吧？我才刚进学校~~~~
要好好学习先~哈哈~

我有个澳洲的朋友 exchange回国内读半年~哈哈 而且就在我们自己的城市

不过我觉得既然要出去还是要去没去过的地方~~

小馨姿

helpful info   do you have more detailed info on the program~

sunnycoast

  想去的城市, 好象刚好没提供我读的专业的,郁闷~　教育科好冷～

#6 如果打算明年第二学期去的话，现在的时间还很宽裕的。一年一般有两个截止日期，2月-3月份是申请明年第一学期的截止期，而8月左右则是明年第二学期的。

这当然只是个大概日期，打算申请的最好找360的人确认一下截止日期。我是去年3月申请的，当时已经过了截止期，虽说最后还是接受了我的申请，不过这样风险太大，他完全可以拒收你的表格。而且提前准备申请表格，可以有比较多的时间去要reference letter。奥大的要求是至少有两封，其中一封必须是奥大的老师（lecturer, professor, tutor），另一封则可以从中学老师，老板，教练等选择，必须不能是你的亲戚朋友。

明年非常想去，但还没决定去哪里
请问lz是去的Uni Of British Columbia吗？

already

#7 你的postgraduate是thesis base还是lecture base？

上个礼拜在welcome back party上有人也问过同样的问题。当时的回答是lecture base的完全没问题，前者则比较悬，因为thesis base的学生主要是自己做研究，而你在那边读的课必须和你在奥大读的一致，所以即使到了那边也可能依然是一个人做研究，没办法和undergraduate或者thesis base的学生一样上课。

建议还是问问360的人。

already

#8 如果是在名单内的，当然可以囖。貌似很多香港人就会exchange回香港的大学。排名当然也是很顶尖，不过在下有点不明白为什么要这样做-.-。。。香港基本上回国的时候都能轻松去到，最近深圳等地又推出了一年n次游的签证。。。。

ps 除去香港的几所，中国的清华，复旦都在名单内。

#9 & #13 一般来说是倒数第二年。比方说4年学位就是第三年出去，3年学位就是第二年。

不过说是那么说，我倒是见过不少最后一年出去的。。就在我回来后三天就有一个同班的去了美国，今年我们是最后一年。

基本上360的原则是只要faculty同意就没问题。

#10 欢迎礼拜三光临exchange fair!!!! 比起在这里纸上谈兵，展览会给你更直观的感觉！
我是大二的时候去的。。去了就好想立马收拾行李走人。

#15
lz很不幸去的是McGill。在我面临每个礼拜每科一个assignment的功课时，在UBC的朋友几乎是在用光速更新她的facebook，真是无奈。

LOL。不过McGill真的是个不错的地方，那里的国际留学生最多是美国去的。听美国过来的学生说，在加拿大美国公司就只认McGill。

average B 我这学期全拿A+貌似还差点。。。

GTUO

这贴要顶，不顶不是人了。。

当年放弃了这个机会，还是挺后悔的。

伯克利，佛吉尼亚，宾西法尼亚，都是排名巨靠前的呀。

小朋友们要珍惜！！

癌细胞

我去过啦 哈哈！！！大二去的香港中文大学，挺好玩的 想去的同学现在要开始申请了，一开始交表之类的都很简单。推荐信找tutor写也行你就说tutor对自己了解比较多，成绩只要第一个学期有B+就行因为出结果的时候第二个学期还没有结束。最重要的就是后面的选课转学分了，所有转学分的课都要在去之前选好所以对方学校的course outline也要有，我之前是3月开始准备的6月面试8月转学分批下来的，11月奥大这边出结果，然后还要填对方大学的申请书还要交推荐信学费......一直到12月底才拿到那边的录取通知书。大一申请最好，半年一年都可以，大二就有点晚了毕竟大三还要毕业。其实老在一个地方呆着太没意思了，多去几个地方挺好。我现在就在北大光华管理学院进修，本来是去年年底毕业现在延了一年。大家如果有问题的话在问我啊

already

楼上的不是奥大么？是毕业了才去北大管理院？

V.L.

奥大都混得跌跌爬爬 就不出去丢人了

我想去Stockholms Universitet，据说那里的masters degree对international students 来说都是免费的 我想去check out一下
