Study Abroad at Monash University in Australia

I had the most incredible time for the last few months. I've met people from all over the world that I hope to be in touch with for a long time. I ended up living on campus which was great socially but very expensive. Most of my friends ended up being exchange students but I did connect with Australians. The wide range of programs/activities on campus ensure there is always something for everyone. Everyone is nice and friendly and will happily assist with anything. I would highly recommend the program to anyone who wishes!!

Studying at Monash was a once in a lifetime experience and I am so great-full for my opportunity. Monash does an excellent job on connecting exchange students with other exchange students, and domestic students are very approachable. Monash's campuses are student friendly for school work, socialising, and student work as well. I lived on Monash residential services and I got the opportunity to meet many different students and make great friends. I recommend living in the dorms and other onsite student living because of the opportunities they give to make friends and live in an environment conducive for socialising and studying.

I loved my year Abroad at Monash University based in the Design building. As soon as I arrived, I was treated to a massive amount of free pancake breakfasts at uni, and free dinners at the halls of residence where I stayed for first semester, which really made it easy for me at the start when I didn't know where to get food etc. All the staff and students were always willing to help and go the extra mile to allow you to make the most out of your exchange and studies there. I took part in a 14km run up the Great Ocean Road in support of a cancer charity and one of my teachers announced to the class that I needed some sponsors and a bunch of people I hadn't even spoke to before gave me donations. Thanks for a wonderful time Monash.

Monash students and teaching staffs are so nice to offer help to you! Melbourne is also a quiet, mild, and comfortable city. It is amazing that right in here you will gain some amazing thoughts on your life, values, or relationships with others.

Being from America, it wasn't a huge culture shock coming to Australia. I had some of the most amazing times traveling and meeting new people all around the world. A semester I'll never truly forget in the Land Down Under!

I had an amazing time! Australia is a really good country (I'm from Europe and didn't experience a culture shock). I made many new friends. Also, I learned a lot at Monash University (Journalism), the professors have a high academic level.
