5 Tips – From Former to Future Exchange Students

Don’t be afraid to contact Student Services or the International Office. They can answer most questions and will be able to help you with even the most difficult problems.

Don’t let exchange stress get you down. Just take it one step at a time, and use the help available (see first Tip).

Sign up for more ECTS credits than you need. Some modules might be more difficult than you anticipate, and this will enable you to compensate.

Consider buying both “Halbtax” (half fare) and “seven25” (free travel from 7pm to 5am) travel cards. They will encourage you to explore Switzerland.

Familiarize yourself with rules and procedures, stick to your class schedule, and make a financial budget you can follow. This will ensure a troublefree exchange.
