Sydney: How being down under flipped my world Past Review
By Abigail R (Zoology, Ohio Wesleyan University) for
ISA Study Abroad in Sydney, Australia
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
Worth every penny. I never once regretted my time. Any student would do well in Australia because the people are welcoming and caring. The classes were just challenging enough to keep me focused but relaxed enough for me to explore beyond the uni. Because of my experience I am applying for grad school in Australia.

A Look Back
| * What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? | Try everything, never say no. Australian's taught me to give everything a go, even if you know you are going to fail. I gained confidence and had the time of my life because of it. I finally found myself and what I wanted to do with my life. It was the most life changing thing I have ever done. |
