I learned a lot about Australian culture. I loved surfing already so it was an incredible experience to be able to consistently surf. I had the opportunity to explore much of the continent cheaply which I loved! Hostels were cheap. The trip was definitely worthwhile, I learned a lot and had a ton of fun!

I gained 5 new best friends, I learned SO much about a new culture, I got to scuba dive on a world wonder, and made countless amazing memories! Definitely worthwhile. Aly S - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I enjoyed being able to look at the U.S. and other parts of the world through a different lens and being able to travel to unique places like the Blue Mountains and Great Barrier Reef. It was certainly worthwhile. A student - Trinity University View Entire Review
I wished it was longer (the whole summer) and I also wish that we would be housed with international students for the sake of learning more day-to-day. I didn't like how Arcadia students always stuck together. Chelsea V - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
