' As it was the only option in Australia, it wasn't such a hard decision to make. I can explore Europe till the end of my life, but to live one year in Australia , it won't happen again. '
[NB: Jan is an exchange student from Brno University, a partner university with The University of Newcastle]
' To be honest, the fact that as an exchange student, you do not have to pay any fees and you can use all of the University's facilities and services at the same time. Hard to beat. '
' The University offers many interesting and challenging courses. The ability to see problems from a different point of view and to see things in global perspective is highly appreciated by any employer. '
' It is a quiet town, but all the long beaches are simply spectacular. I also enjoy endless opportunities for bushwalking and traveling all over the Australia . There is more to see than one can do in a life-time. '
' If someone is seeking for any kind of help, he will find it here. Especially for new international students, the Student Support Centre is a "lighthouse" in this strange "Land Down Under". '
' Search no more. That's it. Believe me, it won't be any better that this! '
