Alumni Interviews
Interview with Mary Lewis, TEAN Australia alum
GO: Why did you decide to study abroad with TEAN in Perth?
Mary: I decided to go abroad with TEAN because they specifically catered to Australia. I also knew of a girl that had went to New Zealand with TEAN and absolutely loved it. She talked about how helpful they were, which was something I was looking for because I didn't have any experience traveling.
GO: What do you think made this experience unique and special?
Mary: I believe what made my study abroad experience in Perth unique was that I was on the west coast of Australia opposed to the east. I believe I experienced the true Australia because it isn't as touristy. It also was the perfect location to travel. Over spring break I took a road trip into the outback and it was exactly what is thought of as the stereotypical Australia.
GO: How did this experience impact your academic development?
Mary: This experience definitely impacted my future. I feel I have a greater understanding of people in any organization or setting. Seeing first hand and understanding that people act the way they do because of their background and environment is such a great skill that I will definitely use for the rest of my life. I also think I'm more outgoing and open to new ideas in school, personally, and professionally.

I was at Notre Dame Australia Spring of 2011 in Fremantle. I felt I got a true Australian experience being in Western Australia. The atmophere was very laid back and everyone was very friendly. Due to the west coast of Australia not being as popular, you get the chance to meet more of the locals. Fremantle is a small port city outside of Perth with a lot of charm. Campus and the dorms are very close to the beach ( about a two minute walk from the Indian Ocean, which was awesome!). There are an abundance of restaurants, shops and markets nearby as well.
Classes were small and welcoming. The classes I took were interesting and allowed you to be involved and meet other students( I especially enjoyed my archaeology and digital photography classes.)
The education abroad network was very helpful every step of the way before, during and after the program was over. I felt it was a great value for my money including the support and the 5-day orientation in Sydney was awesome. I took advantage of all of their help in attaining my visa, passport, booking my flight, getting a cellphone, etc.
I feel I took back a better understanding of different cultures and people and why people are the way they are. I think UNDA-Fremantle is a great place for someone who is laid back, but loves an adventure. I seriously recommend this program to anyone interested in going to Australia! I wish I was still there!
