When I first signed up to study at UWA, I was originally with another provider, but when they canceled my program at the last minute my advisor found that TEAN offered one that was almost identical. I was then partnered with someone from TEAN who was able to get me caught up on my application and walk me through some of the complicated paperwork that came with getting my visa and get it submitted on time even though I had to start late. Once we got to Australia, they held an orientation in Cairns where we got to meet tons of other American students, and get acclimated to the new country. Halfway through the semester, I went on a culture based trip to Thailand for a week during a study break. The itinerary was well planned, involved many different types of experiences, and really showed us several different sides to the country. It was amazing.

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?

One of the first things that the Aussies wanted us to experience was thier food, and at first it was Tim-Tams and Pavlova which we all loved, but eventually, it was Kangaroo and Vegemite which weren't quite as good.

This blue boat shed is one of the biggest picture spots in all of Perth, and popular among tourists! It's right on Matilda Bay, and right outside the city.

With some of the best scenery in the city, the Bondi- Coogee costal walk was a great place to spend the day on a week trip to Sydney.

On my trip to Thailand with TEAN we went to an elephant sanctuary where they cared for rescued elephants.

I had such an amazing experience in Australia. It opened my eyes to the world and even my own life. I really changed my life and guided me to living a healthier lifestyle. I learned so much from traveling on my own and meeting people from all over the world. I would tell anyone going abroad to really keep an open mind to everything. Time flies really fast, you really need to do everything you can to see as much as possible and to really enjoy it. Push your boundaries and do stuff you're kind of uncomfortable with. It WILL pay off at the end.

What would you improve about this program?

Maybe more information before I left would have been helpful

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!

Questions & Answers

Alumni Interviews

These are in-depth Q&A sessions with verified alumni.

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.

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.

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.
