The courses were everything I expected and more. The contents of the classes were super interesting and adequate to the level, the teacher were trully inspiring and dedicated to their jobs. The Screenwriting unit I took has to be the best class I have ever been to.

At the beginning it was pretty hard to understand everything, but with the time and the help of the local people, it has become easier and easier and finally at the end i was speaking very easily with everybody (professor, friends, academic staff and so on).

Uni Bar!!! short bus/train trip to centre of sydney where you can explore and find good cafes, restaurants and bars! Darling harbour has a great atmosphere at night. The uni is right next to a big shopping centre, with a huge food court, and cloth stores
