Just do it. If you have the opportunity to study abroad, don't pass it up. This experience was life-changing. I became so independent and confident during my semester of study abroad, as well as made long-lasting friendships and precious memories. It might be scary and out of your comfort zone, but try every new experience that is presented to you, taste all the new foods you've never tried, and immerse yourself in the local community. Keep a journal of your daily activities and experiences because you will forget all of the little details, something you will want to remember for the rest of your life.

The best thing about studying in Newcastle was getting to meet new people, not only from Australia but also other students from around the world studying abroad as well. Every person I met was open and friendly and made me feel welcome.

The location of the program was ideal. Being in Australia, there is a lot to do and see. The location was just a train ride from Sydney, cheap flights from popular destinations, and a very, very short walk to the beach. The location made the program much more enjoyable.
