Australia through Arcadia
November 19, 2009by: Kiara - AustraliaProgram: James Cook UniversityDeciding to study abroad with Arcadia University was probably one of the best decisions I made to enhance my study abroad experience. I went to James Cook University in Townsville, which is a great school located in tropical North Queensland. My experience has been wonderful. The Arcadia staff made my transition smooth sailing and easier. Plus, with the orientation that they give you in the beginning, they prepare you for a semester/year spent in another country. Also the excursions that they offer are wonderful. Not only are they fun and a great way to travel, but they are also very informative--my favorite one was the long Outback excursion. Basically, Arcadia is AWESOME!
