>that locals study pretty much 24/7
kek

if this is university, it is the other way around
asian unis are much more chill than typical top eu Unis
the roles are flipped there compared to school, which is much easier in any European system (Abi, IB, bac, ebau etc.) compared to asian systems (gaokao, suneung etc.)

>Singapore
while the Universities are great, it's also really expensive
the people I know who went there traveled far less than those who went to Japan, Taiwan or China

>studying there other than the local language
exchange programs are typically mostly in English
otherwise you need proof that you are sufficient in local language
read the requirements!

>I could afford to just travel there on my own for 6 months but I think going for exchange could open up more opportunities to make friends.
Yes!
Absolutely do it
I did 3 exchanges myself (well 2 were research ones during PhD)
but 100% worth it

>Does anyone have experience how the experience is like?
been to Chile, China and Finland
as european myself I liked China the most
simply because it was so "different" and SO much to explore
Chile was just a pain to get around and Finland, well, I already was there before

ironically it's much easier to make Chinese friends in China than it is to even talk with Chinese students at my own euro University kek
