Best Semester Ever!!

My semester abroad at Murdoch University through AIFS was by far my favorite semester of college. I took two exercise science courses and did a research internship. I loved the program and getting to live on campus, meet other international students, and explore Australia. AIFS really helped me every step of the way and I am so happy that I chose them as a program provider. I spent the semester going to classes, hanging out at the beach, exploring Perth, and traveling around the west coast. Overall this program was amazing and I can't recommend it enough!

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
A group of friends and I decided to go skydiving over Rottnest Island. This was an amazing experience and a great way to bond with friends abroad.
Pros
  • Housing is close to campus
  • Living near amazing beaches
  • Planned group events every month
Cons
  • No onsite AIFS, but there was Murdoch University support
  • More expensive than some other programs
  • Campus is not centrally located to the city, you must take public transit
