A Fun Experience

I'll start off by saying that the housing, Globo, that I stayed at for the duration of my semester was the nicest dorms out of all the ressies. It is only going to be a nice living experience as well as it could if you live with considerate roommates. The food was decent, but I would say coming from the U.S there wasn't nearly as much as a variety like I'm used to. The locals are inviting and welcome new comers, so it was nice to be invited to things on different occasions. The school is different than what I am used to. The lectures are pretty big, but most professors give good notes so you know what to study for exams. The assignments are straight forward and the professors don't ask for much. They grade heavily so be prepared to work hard and not goof off. Overall it was a great experience to be able to live in a different culture than I am used to. I got to go to the Great Barrier Reef while I was here and it will always be remembered and something I will think about on my way back to my home school. I love the make of the country with the mountains. I visited some of the museums as well while I was here and it was just a nice way to get out and visit the town. The res is in a great location because you can either walk to the mall (where there are the grocery stores and clothing stores) or take the bus to get what you need. Also, from the res it is a 5 minute walk to campus so that was a plus if I had down time between classes Time flies so make the most of it while you can.
