Home
to the famous ruler,
Ghengis Khan, Mongolia
is seen as the last
true frontier for
those who seek a
path less traveled.
An enchanting country
filled with wonders
reminiscent of Marco
Polo's trips to
the Orient, Mongolia's
vast steppes are
dotted with horses
and yaks, long-haired
cow-like animals
found in the mountains
of Asia. With yaks
outnumbering cars
and almost half
of its 2.5 million
people still leading
a somewhat nomadic
life, Mongolia is
the place to spend
an ASSE exchange
year if you are
looking for something
different.

As
an ASSE exchange
student to Mongolia,
you may live in
a "ger,"
the traditional,
round tent made
of canvas and
white felt which
can be easily
disassembled and
transported. You'll
learn from your
ASSE host family
the importance
that Buddhism
still holds in
this country filled
with traditions
of the past, but
eagerly looking
toward the future's
possibilities.
During your ASSE
exchange year,
you may sip from
a beautiful tea
bowl or learn
the favourite
Mongolian sport
of horseback riding.
By spending your
ASSE exchange
year in this intriguing
country, you will
learn the fascinating
culture and language
of the Mongolian
people.
