Program Reviews:
Fall 2019 Participant
I enjoyed being in a central location with access to inexpensive flights to travel within Australia and New Zealand. I was able to get a better understanding of the continent as a whole than if I were to simply take a 2 week trip from the US on a vacation.

Spring 2026 Participant
I learned how to focus and work more quickly towards what was assigned. USNW is a lot more hands-off and at your discretion for what needs to be completed. I also felt that you got a lot less help from professors, and it was up to you to do a lot more independent research to complete assignments. This program really tested my ability to be self-reliant.

Spring 2026 Participant
My favorite part of studying abroad was being able to live in Sydney and experience all the different cultures that culminate in a city and university. Just being in Australia was a dream come true for me. Travelling and exploring Australia with my free time and new friends was by far the best part of my time there. Meeting new friends and being pushed out of my comfort zone to try anything and everything. It was super rewarding to be on my own and experience all that Australia had to offer.
