A Day in My Life as an Exchange Student in Switzerland 🇨🇭

Описание: First off, a huge THANK YOU to all my amazing friends at CSM and in Switzerland. ❤️ You guys make every school day special—even with some language struggles here and there, your patience and stories make it all worth it. You’ve even managed to make me enjoy school (yes, really)! 😂

📅 This video was filmed on November 21st—a regular Thursday turned memorable. Fun fact: Fribourg, where I live, is bilingual! About 70% of the people speak French, and 30% speak German, with many fluent in both. My classes are 50/50 in French and German, and though it's challenging, I’m loving the progress I’m making.


🗓 My Typical Monday Schedule:

7:00 – Wake up
7:30 – Leave for school (usually by bike, which takes about 15 minutes; walking + bus takes 40 minutes)
8:00-8:45 – Swimming (taught in German)
8:50-9:35 – Physics (taught in French)
9:40-10:25 – Geography (taught in French)
10:25-10:40 – Morning break (time for coffee and snacks!)
10:40-11:25 – Mathematics (taught in German)
11:25-12:30 – Lunch break (homemade leftovers warmed up in the school microwave—no Dutch sandwiches here!)
12:30-13:15 – German
13:20-14:05 – Informatics (taught in French)
14:10-15:45 – Art & Photography (taught in German)
16:10-17:00 – Voluntary swimming session (at school)
18:00-19:00 – French theatre practice
19:30 – Back home
20:00 – Dinner with my host family
20:30-22:00 – Family time (usually playing board games!)
22:30 – Bedtime


It’s a packed day, but I love it! Spending time with friends, navigating my bilingual classes, and exploring Switzerland keeps every moment exciting.

I’m doing my exchange with Rotary, an organization that’s reliable, affordable, and packed with experience. It’s been an amazing year between my two years of college in the Netherlands, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything!

Hope you enjoyed this day with me in my life—let me know what you think!
