Hear from our returned student Max

Going on exchange was an experience I didn’t know I needed until I did it. I was fortunate enough to be able to have a very different cultural experience by studying in what is the crazy city of Tokyo for one semester and then being able to back that up with a semester full of social connections and many other travel opportunities in the fun city that is Liverpool.
