More than I could have ever dreamed of in an Australian Experience!
May 15, 2012by: kmaroney986Program: Arcadia Abroad - University of WollongongEverything about The University of Wollongong is great....gorgeous campus, gorgeous beaches, nicest people, great classes! I could go on for days. I have dreamed of coming to Australia since I was about 7, and this experience is better than anything I could have imagined. I live on campus in Kooloobong, and the people here are really like a tiny family, right from the start they took us in and made us feel at home. The city of Wollongong is great too, tons of good night life, shops, food and beaches. I really cant stop saying good things about this place! Health and Safety: We got notified if there was any issue with safety rather quickly....and I never felt unsafe
