About Us
Exchasia is the first all-in-one platform for students planning an exchange semester in Asia.
We cover universities across Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and China with standardized ratings, real monthly cost breakdowns, and honest pros and cons.
Compare universities side by side, find your match through our recommendation quiz, and check visa requirements and whether a university accepts exchange students, freemovers, or both.
Founded by two University of St. Gallen students heading to Asia for their own exchange semesters.

What's Coming Next
We're heading into our own exchange semesters this fall, which means Exchasia is being built and tested by the people who actually need it. What the semester teaches us comes back with us, and the plan is to grow the site around it: new features, more universities.
