STUDENT COMMENTS
Australia was amazing. I met so many new people from Australia, America and other countries around the world. Friendships were developed quickly and will be kept for some time. I learned so much during my time in Australia, in and out of the classroom. I would recommend this experience to anyone who wants to live outside of the box. -Jenna

This is an experience that challenges so many aspects of your life. New cultural perspectives and getting the opportunity to see all that Australia has to offer made my time abroad unparalleled. You'll know you made a wise decision when you never want to leave. -Michael

I love everything about Australia, and the best way to experience it is to live and study here. I found out where I want to spend the rest of my life.-Andrea

My experience in Australia was by far the best thing I've done so far. The area is gorgeous, and Murdoch is a great university. The people that I met here; the things experienced--there are so many great things about Perth that I can't put into words. I definitely plan on coming back. -Alexis

Australia was amazing; it changed my life for the better. Living in a different culture on the other side of the world can be difficult at times, but I got to live out some dreams I had and when I look back on the experience I always crack a smile. As big as the world is you realize there are good people all over the world and meeting people from all over was an amazing opportunity. - Kevin

Studying abroad is a fantastic, enriching experience. Studying in Australia is especially wonderful. I think that the Australian west coast is often overlooked as a place to study, but it is truly a well-kept secret treasure! -Chris

Australia is amazing! It has enriched my life so much more than I could have ever imagined. I have learned so many things about Aussie life, and most importantly about myself, and my home country. Everyone should totally study abroad in Oz, you learn heaps about yourself, and make incredible memories that will last a life time. Cheers mate! -Brittany
