“ My study abroad experience has been more than
I could have asked for. I came into this absolutely
terrified and I can’t believe where I’m at now! I’ve
met some of the very best people in my life and
gotten to explore so much of Australia. Now I truly
understand why the hype about the ‘land down

amazing and I am dreading the day I have to head
back home!”
