"I am here because I wanted to grow as a person and see what it would be like to be more independent. Plus, I get to make new friends, explore new cities, try new food!"

"I chose to study abroad here because I’ve never left the country before so it was a good first step, not like going somewhere where they don’t speak English. Here, it's really cool that we get to be in the classrooms and get hands-on experiences. I’ve got so many great new ideas that are so different from what we have in the US, which is awesome."

"I chose this programme because it gives you a lot of great school experience and we are actually places in the classrooms which I really like so we can make some comparisons and learn from a different country and see what they do well so we can take it back to the States and maybe improve. Everyone is great. Mary is an angel!"

"Brighton is really a fun city. You can drive 20 minutes in every direction and you’ll be automatically surrounded by history. Even though I live off campus, there is still plenty of support from my classmates and fellow study 'abroaders'."

"I chose the UK because this was the perfect programme for me through my university at home. It’s a month-long programme and I thought that this was the perfect amount of time to study abroad because I didn’t really want to go away for the whole semester and I had some free time in the summer and this programme just happened to fit all those criteria."

"I guess it does take a lot of courage and personal strength to study abroad. I would say that this is the biggest and scariest step I’ve ever taken. But it’s completely worth it, and I already know that I will cherish these memories forever. It’s a lot of fun!"

"England was always a place that I wanted to go to and see. I loved stepping out of my comfort zone, meeting new people, and seeing that other students from America go through the same ‘this is new for me too’ experience."

"I immediately felt comfortable here. I made some great friends, lifelong friends that I know I will keep in touch with for a long time."

"Just like my friends have told me, they were 100% right about how amazing and natural it is to study abroad."

"I am proud of myself. Coming here by myself, not knowing anyone from my programme has really made me branch out. It’s great!"

"For me this trip is all about learning from a different culture. I love it here. All the professors are really friendly and really excited to know that you’re from a different country."

"Everyone is kind of coming from the same position as you are. We are here by ourselves, so I think that we are all just trying to make friends."

"The orientation program was phenomenal. Not only did we get to learn about UniSA, we also got to experience a little of the city and all the speakers were very informative."

"Western Sydney University provides an inviting setting for international students to feel comfortable and welcome upon arrival."

"I’ve been to England before. I’ve been here twice, to London mainly. So, for the past few years, I always wanted to come back and see England and thought that maybe one day I’ll live here and teach here. Even more so now. I love England. It’s a beautiful country, very beautiful. It’s a lot to do and a lot to see."
