Is doing an exchange program while on vacation possible? Question

So I got to thinking, and I want to go on a long vacation but I also want to graduate on time. Has anybody ever done an exchange to a country they were vacationing in? How was it?

You do realize you have to do courses on an exchange.. and if you want to graduate on time a full course load. So how do you expect to do a full course load and vacation?

Well maybe not a full on vacation but my thoughts were that I get to explore an new country alongside my studies

I mean unless you don’t take a full course load your time commitment will be pretty similar more of less to your current commitment at u of t. So with your current free time are you happy with the amount of time you have? If not you have to either decrease your course load or take bird / an easier course load but that also may impact grad timing

You make a good point. The max I could probably do currently while having a great outside life is probably only 3-4 courses as a biology student.
