      HELLO!!!!
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Hi,
      my
      name
      is
      Janice
      Ployer
      and
      I
      am
      a
      Junior
      Sci-
     
     
      ence
      student
      majoring
      in
      math.
      This
      year
      I
      am
      also
     
     
      the
      Exchange
      Student/International
      Student
      Advisor.
     
     
      _My
      duties
      include
      working
      with
      the
      International/
     
     
      Exchange
      students
      enroled
      at
      U.P.E.1.
      and
      also
      organ-
     
     
      izing
      future
      exchanges
      between
      U.P.E.I.
      and
      ottey
     
     
      universities.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Wecurrently
      have
      four
      university
      exchange
      options:
     
     
      University
      of
      Dundee
      (Scotland),
      University
      of
      South
     
     
      Florida,
      Muskingham
      College
      (South
      Carolina),
      and
     
     
      University
      of
      New
      Mexico.
      I
      am
      hoping
      to
      extend
     
     
      that
      number
      to
      give
      you
      as
      many
      alternatives
      as
     
     
      possible.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Many
      students
      believe
      that
      exchanges
      are
      only
      for
      the
     
     
      wealthy
      and
      are
      out
      of
      their
      reach.
      However,
      this
      is
     
     
      not
      the
      case.
      Anyone
      participating
      in
      an
      exchange
     
     
      pays
      regular
      U.P.E.I.
      tuition
      and
      residence
      fees
      fora
     
     
      double
      room.
      The
      only
      extra
      costs
      are
      a
      $100
      regis-
     
     
      tration
      fee,
      travelling
      expenses,
      and
      of
      course,
      spend-
     
     
      ing
      money.

      and
      any
      U.P.E.I.
     
     
      scholarships
      or
      bursaries
      are
      still
      vail.
      So
      really,
      it
     
    
   
   
    
     
      isnot
      much
      more
      expensive
      that
      going
      to
      school
      here
     
     
      in
      Charlottetown.

      Last
      year
      I
      participated
      in
      the
      exchange
      with
      Dundee
     
    
   
   
    
     
      University.
      I
      had
      an
      excellent
      year
      not
      only
      experi-

      quite
      a
      bit
      of
      Europe
      as
      well.
      Believe
      me,
      an
      exchange
     
    
   
   
    
     
      is
      a
      great
      opportunity,
      one
      too
      good
      to

      As
      In

      Advisor,
      I

      any
      International
      students
      may
     
     
      have.
      One
      concern
      that
      has
      already
      been
      brought
      to
     
     
      my
      attention

      the
      need

      they

      Most
      people

      to
      travel
      to
      a
      foreign
      country,
      especially
      one
      ofa
     
     
      different
