During my time at Wabash College, I was always fascinated by the fertile boundaries between the natural sciences and environmental studies. When I discovered the Rainforest Studies program in Australia with SFS, I was excited to see how it emphasized this connection in its coursework and directed research experience. The prospect of becoming fully immersed in the ecological, botanical, and environmental subjects I had encountered in Wabash’s classrooms was extremely appealing.

As a biology major, I was looking to participate in a study abroad program that would give me a hands-on field experience to study ecology and environmental studies. When I heard about the School for Field Studies, I knew I had found the type of program that would allow me the immersive living-and-learning experience that I was looking for. I was drawn to the Australian rainforest specifically after reading about the incredible biodiversity of the region.
