Exchange Program at UIUC

Hi Follow-Hz (pun intended),

My university is organizing a short term exchange program in Illinois at UIUC. It’s an incredible opportunity — academically and personally — but it comes with a pretty high cost (past participants have reported spending around $10,000).

You’ve often told me I motivated you, helped you choose this path, or made your journey a little easier — and now it’s my turn to ask for a little support in mine.

Honestly, this would be an unforgettable gift.

I’ve never done a fundraising campaign before and wasn’t even sure I should — but we’re more than 85k here. Whether it’s a small push or a big one, your contribution could really make a difference.

Just imagine the memes this experience will generate. (I’m probably the most US-shaped person in my uni, but still — studying in the wtf-is-a-kilometer land is guaranteed to bring some hilarious culture shocks.)

Thank you so much for reading — and thank you in advance if you decide to help.

(On my way to burn all my lifetime savings in just one month—fingers crossed there’s still something left for my master’s degree.)
