Exchange at UC

Well i've only been here for 4 weeks now, so i can't really say too much about the academic challenge.. Yet i do appreciate the Moodle platform and the recordings of the lectures!

About the housing, i must admit i wasn't too happy when i came here and saw it for the first time (old res). Online the pictures look really nice and it says newly renovated.. i don't know about this.. it is quite dirty in the common areas and the bathrooms, which are the most important ones.. The rooms itself could look a little more welcoming, with some paint on the wall, new chairs and so on..

But on the other hand, i do like living on campus a lot, only having to walk for 5 min to go to class is amazing compared to the 1hour i have to travel back home.

The study abroad staff is super friendly and helpful! I loved the weekend trip to Sydney and all the little gatherings that were organised. They are all appreciated!

What i don't really like is that you have to pay so much for Internet.. Especially exchange students that are thousands of kms away from their families and friends need a lot of it so skype and keep in contact.. and its not really an option to skype in the library..

Overall I'm happy though =)
