Campus Education Australia (CEA)

For the past five months, my host family have been like my real family and I know it will be unbelievably difficult to say goodbye to them in only a few weeks. The kids at my school were so friendly and welcoming, I felt at home almost straight away. Between the many footy games, shopping trips, and movie nights, I have developed lasting friendships with some of the girls from my school that I know will continue long after I return home. My parents chose to go with CEA because they could confirm that the school and host family would be personally chosen and also in heart of the Northern beaches and in Sydney - close to everything and found them very efficient and professional.

I decided to come to Australia for 6 months and that time was the best time of my life. When I met my host family and had dinner with them I could already see that I will feel comfortable living with such a nice family. They also helped me on my first school day and joined a local rugby team and made lots of friends - and the CEA safari was the best

I've just had the greatest 6 months of my life out here. My host family is great, my friends that I've made here are great, everything has just worked out. I met up with my representative from CEA who was great and very helpful and always there when I need help and advice So I am glad I did choose a local school - it is a co ed school and I met lots of people - girls and guys and felt part of the group. I joined a lot of team sports - this helped a lot, played Basketball, soccer and just go involved right from the beginning - this is what really helped.

Australia, a land on the other side of the earth. A country filled with spirit, which everyone wants to discover and so did I. Australia gave me the opportunity to discover something completely different and it taught me a lot about the values in my life. THANKS to CEA and my fabulous host family, who made this year so special and unique for me!

I have three things to tell you if you are planning on doing an exchange program; (one) Australia is the place to go, (two) CEA is the program to go through, and (three) you don't even need to think twice about either of those. I had the time of my life and I don't think that it would have been possible if it weren't for CEA, who helped with all the paperwork and everything, and my wonderful host family. Thanks everyone!

The most important thing is a good host-family, who helps you to get into the real Aussie life. I was really lucky with my host-family, CEA they did a great job by finding me the best family ever. School was great, I made new friends there, who showed me around and everyone was friendly and helped me wherever they could. I definitely never felt lonely Now, when I look back, I almost regret that I did not stay for the whole year. After about three and a half month, I began to realize that my time here is almost over

Dear Jennifer! 'The best time in my life!' This is the statement from Luisa about the Safari in Australia! Thank you very much for organizing this Safari so perfect. We think, it was a great time for Luisa and Nina. The trip Sydney, Broken Hill, Ayers Rock, Alice Springs, Cairns, Great Barrier Reef, Gold Coast and back to Sydney was really great, the week on the coast was the highlight. We are very happy, that Luisa feels very well, has a great host family and studies in a nice high school. She makes friends all over the world and she gets unforgettable impressions from different minds and cultures. We are very happy, that we have given Luisa the possibility to this 6-month-programm. She really will learn many important things for her future life. We are sure, that she will enjoy the rest of her stay. Thank you so much for all your care and we hope, that we can meet you in Australia during our trip from 25. June to 9. July. Best regards Eckhard und Isolde

Jennifer, First and foremost, I didn't expect I would have such a great time as I did. I knew it was going to be a life changing experience but I never could have imagined how good it was! I just wanted to thank you for everything! Whenever I had a problem you were there to help me and you always made sure I was happy and OK. Even when my bed was a little bit hard, you gave me a mattress. I have heard many different stories about area reps and I feel grateful to of had such a wonderful coordinator. I know my mom could trust you and I knew I could too. I am going to tell all my friends about CEA and how I had such a good time! Thank you for the farewell dinner and thanks for everything, Jennifer. Best wishes Adair and Denise Nowacki USA
