Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
There is lots of Asian people studying. You won´t meet too much Australians during classes. Do the four or three classes you need but don´t do only business (pretty tough).

“Studying abroad”

Overall
I was travelling abroad and decided to spend some of my spare time studying. It was a great way to continue progressing my education whilst exploring Europe.
I was only completing one subject at a time and with 4 semesters throughout the year I was able to get through the same amount of study as if I was studying part-time.

Pros
Studying one subject at a time.
Cons
Exams locations and on campus requires were tricky to arrange at times.

Why?
It was a wonderful experience. I lived with two others, one French, one Chinese. I found the townhouse two weeks after arriving, up until living in a backpackers/hostel. My living arrangement could not have been better!

Personal comments
There is no housing through the university. All students find housing independently depending on how close they would like to live to their campus.

Personal comments
My native language is English and Australia is as well. I did not face a language barrier, but I made many many European friends who I helped with their English and they taught me a bit of all their languages. The challenges of this experience were not lingual, they were related to personal growth, developing my character, doing it alone without a set program.
