It’s so hard to believe that my time in Sydney is already ending. I know everyone says it, but study abroad really does fly by. While I’m excited to go home and see friends and family, I’ve been struggling the past few weeks with how to say a proper goodbye to the city I’ve called…

Somewhere Between Here and Home
It’s hard to put into words how much studying abroad in Sydney has meant to me, and even harder to accept that it’s coming to an end. I will miss this place and these people more than I can fully express, and I know these memories are something I will carry with me forever. From…
To My Mates: Thank You
My time in Australia has fundamentally changed me as a person. These kinds of experiences only come around once in your life. To make these kinds of memories and connections is unbelievable.

Two weeks ago was our program’s spring break, an event that most of our program group has been thinking about since the day we arrived in Sydney. For most study abroad students, the main prospective spring break destinations are New Zealand and Bali. For those who don’t know, Bali is a relatively small island in…
Growing through experience
Before coming to Australia, I had never really traveled much, especially not out of the country. Now, through my study abroad experience, I get to tell people I visited three foreign countries. Australia for study abroad, and over spring break I had the amazing opportunity to explore Indonesia and Vietnam. That experience changed me so…
