So much fun!

This was honestly a great experience. I had never ever been to Australia before this and I honestly loved it down there. The people are a lot of fun, the environment is fun, the people are great, the scenery was amazing. I had the opportunity to meet with a lot of people that were international (not just American like me) not just Australians so that was a big plus. In fact some really close friends I made there are scattered around the world! As far as school goes, it was definitely different. The grading scales are extremely different from what I've experienced. The coursework had a much bigger focus on flat out memorization and repetition instead of further thinking and discussing. I personally felt like there was a lot more "busy work" than what I had normally experienced. The campus was one of the highlights of my experience. It was very big and had a lot of open, green spaces. It wasn't a huge campus which made it nice so I could get to all my classes but at the same time it wasn't so small that it felt crowded. The buildings are all in fairly good condition (and they had AC so that was a big bonus) and my classes weren't overly crowded.
