I certainly wasn't prepared for 5 months in a new country, but I learned more, experienced more, and developed new passions and interests as I made new friends and explored a new place. It may take a lot of effort on your part to make your semester abroad possible, but it will be worth it.

My favorite part of my study abroad experience was the people in Australia. I stayed in the International House and was able to meet people from all over the world. We honestly became a family and I have met some of my greatest friends there. I highly recommend staying there as you get to experience all sorts of cultures and the Student Leaders put on loads of activities for the residents. We went to the zoo for free, went to a rugby game, went hiking up a mountain, and of course loads of beach adventures.

I felt the most rewarding experience was being able to adapt and live in a different part of the world for five whole months. I made some amazing friendships that made me grow as a person.
