Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for the latest information from GoAbroad!

It's Friday -- and time for GoAbroad's Blog of the Week! This week's selection is:

Queen's University International Centre Blog

This week's featured blog hails from the Queen’s University International Centre (QUIC) in Kingston, Ontario which offers a support service for all members of the Queen’s community and through its activities promotes an internationally informed and cross-culturally sensitive learning environment. Like the International Centre, the QUIC blog provides resources for a variety of readers, including those interested in experiences abroad, for exchange students currently on Queen’s campus or looking to join the campus in the future, and even for staff willing to share their insights on intercultural understanding.

Why We Love It

The posts and content that make up the QUIC Blog are as eclectic as the writers themselves. Each post is thoughtful and reflective about experiences abroad and from international students studying in Kingston, Canada--making the blog an ideal resource for information. There is never a shortage of inspiration either, as the topics range from post-travel reflection to relocating to a new country. Whether a student is preparing to study abroad or is an international student en route to a new country, the QUIC Blog is an innovative and creative outlet of tips and advice.

No matter where a student is headed or comes from, adjusting to a new culture can be an overwhelming experience. To help students with this even further, the QUIC Blog offers anecdotes from the students and faculty alike who have firsthand international experience on the Queen's International campus. The result is a blog that keeps itself current, up to date and relatable for those interested in international education.
