Australia Made Me Who I Am Today Past Review

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

The workload was very similar to UH, however, the grading system was a little more difficult.

On-site administration of your program

The program emailed you often to make sure that you were doing alright and gave you more information on things that the student might need to know.

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

I lived right in the middle of campus which was perfect because I didn't have to walk for to get food, go to class, or see my friends. I was about a twenty minute bus ride away from the nightlife and the beach which was a perfect amount. The school also provided all the necessities like sheets, toilet paper, and even came to was my sheets and vacuum every week.

The food was very good, got a little repetitive but they did switch in some new items every two weeks. I definitely recommend getting a meal plan because food is expensive.

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

I did things there that I would never get another chance to do, like snorkel in the Great Barrier Reef. I made immediate friends and we planned a trip every weekend. I had to do everything that I could because who knew when I'd be able to go back again.

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

I felt 100% safe at school and even walking around at night. There were always people outside and Australians are especially concerned with taking care of each other and looking out for one another. I did get sick while at school and the health services on campus really helped me and I was able to get my prescriptions at a very small cost.

(1 = not very easy/$200+ on food & personal expenses/week, 2.5 = $100/week, 5 = very easily/minimal cost)
