I gained a lot of independence, as well as lifelong friends. I grew personally and academically, and am very grateful for the experience. Jana M - Wellesley College View Entire Review
It was so interesting to learn in a different country. I loved the opportunity to live abroad while continuing to work towards my degree. Two bird one stone! A student - Queen Mary University of London View Entire Review
experienced what a big university is like Christine Kneer - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Australain culture is much slower than the US culture. School wasn't full of assignments, there weren;'t peopel rushing around. Everyone just seemed to going their own pace. I slowed down alot and had time to focus on my own personal hobbies such as video editing and music which I hadn't done since I was in high school. A student - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I really wanted to learn about race and ethnic relations in a different country, and I felt that Australia would be a good choice. And I was right! A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
How to live as an American in a new country by myself. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I got the chance to travel a lot and experience so much of the Australian culture. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I was able to experience many different cultures all in one place. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned how to cook for myself, how to eat healthier, how to juggle my education and living independently. jordan.grant.524 - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I learn't all sort of things. How to move by myself in a different country, I learnt about different cultures, how to do most things by myself, etc. I loved studying abroad for the people I met and for such a fun and beautiful country but I must say that I did not like much the classes at the university. I wish they would have l... A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
When I first arrived I was put through a bit of a trial... after 30 hours of traveling arriving to the dingy filthy apartment with no AC, internet, and lacked any access to contact anyone I knew.... I realized it would be harder than I thought. However through the little trials I was put through I learned a lot about my self and... A student - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
Cultural and corporate maturity and knowledge, long lasting and close friendships, and great adventures and experiences. Stephen C - Trinity University View Entire Review
I gained a new perspective about myself, where am I from, and my current circumstances. I was able to integrate what I learned from my home institution into my academics abroad, and learned some new skills and strategies along the way. I made lifelong friends, and gained a perspective on a possible future life path from my exper... A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Yes, I really enjoyed it. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I gained a greater confidence in my independence as a traveller, a student, and as a person. Australia, while similar to the United States, challenged me to seek out new friendships, new experiences, and new places. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Throughout study abroad in Melbourne, I was able to experience a completely different but engaging method of academics and teaching while staying in apartment accommodation and managing my expenses for myself, which collectively made this a beneficial and diverting study abroad break from my home college where I learned a lot ab...

As I previously mentioned, I made some wonderful new friends abroad and had amazing experiences travelling Australia. Melbourne is also a great city filled with delicious food, interesting artwork, and vibrant culture. Participating in the study abroad program at University of Melbourne is absolutely worthwhile. Vanessa Kelley - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Cross-cultural experiences, travel experiences, and experience living abroad. It was the best decision I've made. Elaine - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
Definitely worthwhile. I gained and learned an independence like I never could being even 3 hours away from my parents. I gained knowledge about differences in culture and how interesting and important it is to know about people different from yourself. Alex H - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
Because I studied abroad, I have a much greater appreciation for learning about other cultures and countries. I love traveling, but being able to experience a place for an extended period of time, and actually go to school in a different country was an enriching experience that I am forever grateful for. Mia K - University of Michigan - Ann Arbor View Entire Review
I learned to take better care of myself and not call my parents every time something goes wrong. I learned to enjoy the freedom and that sometimes eating veggies is good for you. A student - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I learned what it is like not knowing a single person on an entire continent! Its fun and hard at the same time. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
It is possible for me to live in another country! A student - Fordham University View Entire Review
definitely worthwhile Patrick G - Trinity University View Entire Review
One of the biggest things I gained was an enriched cultural understanding. Moreso than things I learned in the classroom, I learned about other people and how they live and view the world. Not only did I just learn from Australians, but I made friends from around the world. Ryan F - Villanova University View Entire Review
