Boston University (BU)

Sydney is a lot like Southern California in weather, and even more laid back. Wish I had taken more advantage of all the great cultural events Sydney has to offer - opera, restaurants, theatre, concerts - everything a major city has, they have.

Good program, but if you really want to meet AUstralians, I would suggest going through a program that puts you in an AUstralian university. BU has their own classes so you do not get a chance to meet the natives unless you seek them out on your own, outside of school. BU does provide a great internship progarm and will try to find a company in your field for you to intern at. You can really take advantage of this and learn some good skills and make future business contacts, or you can not. It's up to you to make the experience what you want.

Not really. I liked to learn things through experience. Although I made some research before travelling so I had an idea of where I was going to. Maybe to know that you need time for applying to universities due to the fact that I wanted to finish my studies in the USA.But I have no complains , I'm satisfied with all I did.

To be more concern about the welcome of international students because some of them are not used with english and the environment. But in general it was fine!

I had a pretty good idea of what to expect

it s a well known university.it gives you a variety of classes and other facilities.the only thing is that the tuition are expensive.

How to manage my time.

The University is very good for many fields but if you study business in any brach of it...you HAVE TO come to BU.

The accommodation in my home country I own it! so I just have to pay the regular taxes. The telephone I spend less because I didnt have the need to make a lot of phone calls, just my family and the local calls where very cheap o free in certain areas. Where I spend more many was in travel because I wanted to visit new cities and to learn more about my host country.And you dont have the opportunity and time to visit another country everyday. Also there was good promotions for travelling so I took advantage of that.

Not really.

I highly recommend the program. It is an incredibly opportunity to experience a new culture and also to gain valuable work experience
