IFSA: Sydney - University of Sydney
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
Studying abroad was definitely worthwhile. I love to travel and experience new cultures, so this opened my eyes to a new place and the people it holds. I experienced so many new things and stepped out of my comfort zone, such as hiking, scuba diving and swimming under waterfalls. I learned how to be even more independent and live in a country by myself, studying and working, like a local, all the while having a great time and meeting cool people. It was nice being in a big city, whilst still having the laid back atmosphere that Australia holds. UYSD was also a beautiful campus, plus the great hall looked Hogwarts
