My experience in the Spring Exchange Program at University of Technology of Troyes, France was highly educating. I learnt a great deal in the vastly different cultural environment and meeting people from different countries. It taught me to look at things in different perspectives. I am happy and thankful that I was allowed to pursue this journey. My teachers have been very supportive and guided me even when I was miles away.

Throughout my semester I was involved in group projects which helped me realise that people approach problems in various ways. My group projects in courses like Software Engineering and Project Management were extremely educational and offered a hands- on approach on how to design software systems. I could understand the different ways in which the culture of a country affects the structures of their software products. This was a truly heuristic experience.
