#TravelTuesday Journey Far
A student exchange offers the chance to travel the world and the opportunity to be immersed in a new culture. Goodman has partnerships across the globe and this week, we will be highlighting some of our distant partner schools through Asia and Australia.
Living in Asia has a different experience and feel in comparison to Canada. It is a land filled with many different languages, foods, customs and landscapes. Asia is a large and fast growing market, making it an excellent location to study Business for a semester.
