One of the main reasons I wanted to come on exchange to San Francisco is that nearly every tech company has their HQ here. Since August, I've been on a quest to try and visit as many of them as possible! As of yesterday, I'm happy to...
Perhaps the weather has got you down, as a new international student. SF can be quite foggy, quite rainy. Still, there are places where it's way worse. To cheer you up, here's a picture of my hometown, Montreal, today. It was -4 F (-20 c) yesterday! https://www.instagram.com/p/BQBlXllhhJo/ ...
A few weeks ago, I wrote a post about how happy I was that I had taken a course that was outside of my core curriculum, a 3D animation class. Well, I just completed my final project: a small animation! It's crazy that in only a...

I took this a couple weeks ago, but I found it summarizes perfectly how great the weather can be in San Francisco, despite the near constant fog! https://www.instagram.com/p/BMh8qTagtxj/?taken-by=timbeiko...
One of the great things about being on exchange, is that often you can take courses that would not be available at your home school. If you are about to start your exchange, or currently debating what to take for next summer, you should think about...
