Australia : Reviews (Newcastle)

Being able to travel to so many different places while attending school was amazing! Newcastle is the perfect size to adjust to coming from KU and the beaches are unbeatable.

living in international house was AMAZING, you get to meet so many cool people and there are lots of events that make it very easy to make friends. it was so fun and I recommend this program to everyone!

Traveling across the world by myself, which forced me to step outside my comfort zone. I met new friends, experienced lots of new adventures, and made lots of great memories. It has made me a stronger person mentally.

Newcastle was amazing at setting students up to meet a variety of people.

The most rewarding element of the program was the work-life balance. Most classes are 2-3 hours long and only once per week, so getting my work done rewarded me with more time to travel.

Finishing the program was rewarding. I felt like I had accomplished so much and did everything I wanted to do. I was ready to come home by the end of the program.

The grading style was A LOT different than in the U.S and the learning style was a different format as well. The biggest thing I learned overall was to not be afraid to go out and do things on your own; travel, go to events and find activities even if you can’t find someone to go along.

One thing I learned is to be outgoing. The culture of Newcastle involves lots of socializing and events, being outgoing will help you make friends and make the most of your experience.

It is important to socialize with others. It can get lonely. Things got a lot better for me when I made friends and pushed myself to try new things.
