Final Reflection Questions
What were the most significant take-aways from your experience?
Personally, I got to fulfill a long-time dream of mine-- to live in a big city. Just by being in the city, I was satisfied, so I have absolutely no regrets, but the experiences I had throughout the five months in Sydney were just absolute blessings. I was able to find peace in being independent and doing daily activities on my own. I got to travel to various places around Australia and even snorkel in the Great Barrier Reef. While I didn't find Nemo, I found a group of wonderful friends who sacrificed so much to give me a once-in-a-liifetime experience abroad. I'll never forget the people and the memories I've made, and I'm just so thankful that I had this opportunity to study abroad in Sydney.

What are your words of advice to students considering this program?
APPLY. I've made so many awesome memories and friends, who I still talk to today. Don't be afraid because there are so many international/ exchange students in Sydney, so you're not alone. The locals are also really nice and are willing to help you if you need it.

How did the experience impact you and your future educational/career/personal goals?
Studying abroad and taking classes I wouldn't have taken here in the States, I realized that I have a lot more opportunities than I thought I did.
