Study Abroad Programs in Sydney, Australia

Grew up on food stamps, never thought I'd actually leave the U.S. and see someone else's world. It was amazing! Loved my classes and internship, especially Race, Diversity and Difference, hearing first hand accounts from those that have experienced racism, colorism, systemic issues was interesting, I've only learned of those problems from someone that can't experience it and they speak on it from a historical pov. Housing was fine, it was my first time living with people that wasn't family. The biggest issue is the fact that washing and drying costs $5 dollars each! I started hand washing as I'd rather that money go towards food. Expensive country but I wouldn't trade it for the world. But the apartment is buggin out for making us pay to wash our clothes, rent per week is crazy high. The program itself, was amazing, the activities were fun and any staff I interacted with were extremely helpful. Especially Andrea, any questions would be answered, she'd even ask questions to see how we were doing, I went to Byron Bay because of her. I think of Byron Bay everyday. I preferred to be alone, but I do wish I had asked to hang out with people from classes, not upset about not doing it but wishing I had. Hang out with people, get on the train and explore a new area, walk the beaches until the sun sets. Make memories, try new foods, be open to new things. Going abroad was a trial to see if I wanted to do more, might go to Italy Japan in the future. I do know that I want to do my masters, but now I'm unsure of where to go, Sweden or back to Sydney? I'll figure it when the time comes. Thank you AIFSAbroad.

I would definitely recommend CIEE Study Abroad to a friend, because the program offers so many opportunities that are engaging and interactive. I love the flexibility within the program and how the classes are structured in a way that we can still explore on our own and be self paced.

Studying abroad in Sydney with CIEE was such an amazing experience. The staff were incredibly friendly, approachable, and always willing to help, especially when I was feeling a bit alone or just wanted something fun to do. The program itself is fantastic; there’s so much to do and explore in Sydney, and being at UNSW made it easy to take advantage of everything. Overall, it’s such an energizing and supportive environment, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to study abroad in Sydney!

My time in Sydney with IES Abroad was a memory I'll keep for the rest of my life. Although it had its hard moments (don't underestimate how much homesickness or a hard class can hit you), there were so many amazing experiences I got to have, like seeing quokkas in person or building a group of friends from all over the world. It was a great opportunity to expand my horizons and learn who I am as a person halfway across the world from the same people and places I've always known.

This trip was truly one of a kind. It was great being able to meet new people and get close with everyone, including all the professors and the walkabout staff. Every one and everything was truly amazing.

I am not exaggerating when I say that this trip was something I truly needed in my life. The memories, the people, and the education that I got out of this trip have been truly remarkable. Thank you, Loop Abroad!

This program is a great way to make professional connections with doctors and form friendships with peers who share a similar mindset. It is a great way to learn about Australian culture and how animals impact the world.

This was such an amazing experience! I am so grateful to the vets and staff who have taught me so much. This program has changed the way I view medicine and conservation and I will carry that with me in all my future endeavors!

Loop Abroad is more than just studying abroad. You get to learn and interact with all kinds of animals, get a deeper understanding of veterinary medicine, and stay in an amazing country with awesome people! I'd definitely recommend this program to anyone.

This program not only taught me about veterinary medicine. It also allowed me to foster great connections. I learned a ton about myself and grew more confident in my abilities. Best of all, I got to be a part of very important conservation efforts.

The Australia program was truly an amazing experience. I gained insights on culture and conservation that are hard to come by anywhere else. The staff were lovely and it was so evident that they deeply cared for us!

The Australia Pre-vet Wildlife Medicine program was an incredible and unforgettable experience. I'll never forget the people, culture, animals, bush, and lessons I've learned! All these will stay with me for the rest of my life.

This trip opened my eyes to a side of veterinary medicine that I didn't even know existed. I had the time of my life and my expectations were blown out of the water! If you're thinking about doing a Loop Abroad trip, stop thinking and do it.

Loop Abroad was such an amazing experience. Working hands on in Walkabout helped me learn so much! Also the extra days exploring Australia were awesome! Overall, I learned so much and it was so much fun!

This program completely changed my perspective on veterinary medicine! I'm so grateful I got to go on this trip and make so many connectioins and learn about so many different animals! Thank you, Loop Abroad!

This trip was amazing due to the veterinarians and support staff. They really made it a great experience. I am so grateful for them. I also really loved the meerkats and getting to interact with all of the animals!

This trip was one of a kind. It was great being able to meet lots of new people and get close with everyone including all the professors and the Australian walkabout staff. Everyone and everything was truly amazing.

This was a great program that allowed me to apply my previous knowledge and expand it. I loved how hands on it was I learned a lot from it! And all of the staff was super nice and supportive. Thank you, Loop Abroad!

I loved the clinical diagnostics, survivalist training, and learning about local plants on top of the animals too. Our Doctor was incredibly inspiring and always there to clue us in and share her wisdom and advice. It felt like having a veterinary big sister.

This trip made me realize that I need to stop having doubts. If I was able to make it here because I wanted to attend, then I can definitely do anything I want to later on in life. Our vet gave me the reassurance and confidence that I can do whatever I set my mind to.
