Personal recommendation:
I came from Italy, and in my country we don't have a campus or anything like that. i found UNSW campus very well organised and very nice. Moreover the people who worked at the study abroad office are so friendly that, after almost three years, we are still in touch! they even gave me references for the looking of a job! FINAL COMMENTS
I had the best experience ever! I met a lot of people, i visit a wonderful country, i became a better person, more indipendent and more social at the same time. I advice to everyone to live an experience like that, as it will stay with you forever. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Personal recommendation:
I would recommend this University over the other Sydney universities as the location is very good and the campus life and activity is excellent. FINAL COMMENTS
I had an AMAZING experience and I would recommend my exact trip to anybody. For traveling I would definitely suggest the south island of New Zealand (I went with a tour group called Kiwi Experience, it was GREAT!) I went to Fiji on the way home and that was definitely an amazing trip, it was reasonably priced and gorgeous. Within Australia I would suggest a trip for a long weekend to Melbourne, as well as a trip down the east coast. I would definitely go sailing on the Whitsundays, (my boat was called "Spank Me" and it was a great time) I would do as much as you can around Sydney and do as much as possible. A budget alternative to doing the bridge climb is to climb the pillar (9 dollars instead of 200). Overall, an unbelievable trip.

Personal recommendation:
The Uni doesn't have a close on-campus student friendship fostering feel the way it does in Texas... I hung out with other international students I met through my exchange program and locals i met in class. FINAL COMMENTS
