Year: Junior
Major: Information Technology

During my semester in Australia, I networked with so many people and expanded my network and met the right people for my future career. I met people from Norway, Germany, Ireland, Japan, Africa, Italy, and more! I learned about the cultures that normally people in the USA don't study. Aside from homework and learning, I traveled to places I never thought I'd have the opportunity to see. I was two hours away from the Fiji islands by plane! It was definitely quite the experience and if anyone is wondering if they should do it, THEY SHOULD!! They won't regret it!! You can only gain from an experience like this no matter how you look at studying abroad, whether it's to learn a course, finish some of your degree or in some cases meet new people and socialize.
