NYU Sydney

The staff were so helpful and the planned programs for students were really interesting and relevant. We did neighborhood dinners so that students had a chance to explore even if they didn't have the funds to eat out. Also, the staff were really great with helping students find jobs if they were interested in working. The small class sizes were a very new experience at NYU and it was helpful to have so much face to face time with each professor, and it definitely helped a lot with learning the material. I had a really great time at NYU Sydney and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to go abroad.

What would you improve about this program?
The wifi situation at Urbanest is an issue when it comes to being able to complete assignments since it's limited, but other than that the program was great.

Junior Fall in Sydney

After only seeing beautiful pictures of Australia, I decided that I needed to go. I quickly fell into a routine and found a sense of home with the assistance of NYU staff and their programs. As the fall is a smaller program, I found people more excited and open to meeting new people, causing friendships to blossom early. Additionally, the walk to classes was on the longer side, but this guaranteed quality time with friends as we hiked uphill. With new friends and a new place, I found myself excited to travel and explore the spaces around me. Whether I was working with friends on homework assignments or planning the next trip, I was always happy to be social. I found myself, in general, to be happier and healthier in Sydney. Although Sydney can be expensive, I found ways to budget without missing out on experiences. The access to affordable, fresh produce at Paddy's Market was a highlight for me! Going forward from this experience, I feel confident in my ability to plan and work with people. Before Sydney, I had never pushed myself to budget so intensely or plan trips so specifically, but these are skills that are now invaluable to me. My time in Sydney made me grow as a person and I can't wait to see how this influences my life back in the United States.

Loved It

I had an amazing time aboard and would highly recommend studying in Sydney if you have a chance to do so. I loved the culture the people and the food there. It was a laid back and chill vibe, which is in contrast from the fast paced intense life style in New York. With the small cohort abroad I found it easier to meet other NYU Students that I might not have been friends with if I'd meet them in New York. The small classes allowed for professors to know us and engage in more meaningful discussions.

What would you improve about this program?
This program could be improved if classes met more than once a week. I thought that 3 hour classes were long and it was hard to stay focused for 3 hours.

NYU Sydney Fall 2017

Studying in Australia was a great idea because the weather throughout the semester was perfect! I got to escape the cold weather of New York and went to tons of beaches in Australia. It was really cool to see how different the culture was in terms of people, food, social life, etc. A big perk about studying abroad in Sydney was being able to travel to tons of other countries and explore the different parts of Australia.

What would you improve about this program?
The walk to school from the living accommodation is pretty long but you get to exercise everyday so yay

Fall at NYU Sydney

I had an amazing time with NYU Sydney. The classes were really thoughtful and interesting and the teachers were all very knowledgable about what they were teaching. The staff for student life were some of the nicest people I have ever met and they always had new, free oppurtunities to explore Sydney and the surrounding areas. The weather was really beautiful aImost every day and the beaches were easily accessible through public transportation. I loved my time there and would recommend it to everyone.

What would you improve about this program?
The residence hall is a bit far from the academic building.

Loved it

I absolutely loved my time in Sydney. The faculty are all great, and I did so many fun things outside of class. Australia was always a dream of mine and it definitely lived up to my expectations. The program is smaller than other ones, but as someone who is a bit shy I liked it. I think I spoke to everyone at least once. Surry hills was probably my favorite part of sydney. It is great for shopping and just walking around!

What would you improve about this program?
The one kinda annoying thing was that classes were kinda far from housing.

Fall for Sydney

I greatly enjoyed my time at NYU Sydney. This was my first experience studying abroad and it surpassed all of my expectations. Sydney as a city is a great place for study. The beautiful weather kept me in a fantastic mood for most of my time there and made me more motivated to excel in school. I was also lucky enough to travel a bunch due to the more relaxed schedule of the program compared to the New York campus. I had a great semester and only regret not having more time!

What would you improve about this program?
More course offerings would be great!

NYU Sydney

My time in Sydney was life-changing, spontaneous, and eye opening. I applied to go to NYU Sydney on a whim on the day applications were due, and deciding to go was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The staff members at NYU Sydney were welcoming and kind and always open to answer even the most ridiculous of questions that we students tend to have. The academics was challenging but do-able, with small class sizes that allow the students to have deep class conversations as well as form a strong bond with the professors. The city of Sydney itself was beautiful with tons of gorgeous beaches, delicious restaurants as well as a vibrant nightlife. Although every trip abroad has its challenges, from homesickness to the stress of school work, there is nothing that I would chang about my time in Sydney.
