My favorite part of the program was being in a completely different environment from what I'm used to. It was the change I needed from my usual comfort zone at KU. I was able to experience more in the past 5 months than I have in the past few years at KU.

My favorite part of studying abroad in Australia at the University of Newcastle was my living setup and cultural experience. I lived on-campus in the International House and had an absolute blast learning and experiencing the Australian culture in the beautiful city of Newcastle (and different places around Australia) and made lots of life long friends!

The element of the program I found the most rewarding was the freedom. KU allowed me to navigate the study abroad process easily but gave me the freedom to experience everything on my own. My KU advisor gave me many resources and lots of useful information so that when I arrived in Australia I was well prepared to acclimate myself to my surroundings. I had the freedom to make my own decisions, such as where I lived, traveled, what classes I took, and how I would integrate myself into the Australian lifestyle.
