Chose Newcastle

' I had a look at the partner universities of my home university. I was considering going to Sydney also, but it would have been too busy. I think I just liked the home-page of the University of Newcastle. Furthermore, there were classes offered I cannot attend in Germany. '

The Best Things

' I am enjoying the campus, the social life, and the new softwares I am using because of my studies. I like the contact with Australian students. '

Future Studies and Career

' It is good to have "a year abroad" on your curriculum vitae. Hopefully it will save me time because I would like to transfer the courses to Germany. '

Are you happy with the support?

' It is a great help. The service provided for international students is awesome. People are not just helping you with your studies, but with with living in Australia in general. '

My Advice

' My advice is to stay on-campus because you get to know so many people and the you get to know the Australian culture. Everything is just kind-of nearby. Another advice is not to study too hard, because you should get to know the country as well. '
