I learned entirely too much to put into words. I gained so much from this trip. I got to see one of the 7 natural wonders of the world, I met so many people from all over the globe, and I gained independence. I was able to put my phone down and enjoy the beautiful surroundings and people and never get bored. This trip was defini... Chelsey H - University of Southern Indiana View Entire Review
My time abroad was extremely worthwhile and I learned more there than I ever could have if I would've stayed at my home University. I learned so much about myself and what I am capable of handling and how much the world has to offer if you just put yourself out there and let yourself experience something new. A student - University of Minnesota - Twin Cities View Entire Review
yes, it was a really enjoyable experience where I got to know a lot of unique and different people. Nicholas P - St. Cloud State University View Entire Review
Yes! I had the most wonderful experience meeting Australians as well as exploring the land down under! I am so much more aware of how big and diverse the world really is and how to respect and embrace those differences. My experience abroad has changed my life completely. I met my boyfriend here, who is Australian, so now I've m... Cecilia P - Ohio State University - Columbus View Entire Review
YES! I enhanced my personal character, have a wider range of opinions on the world, understand and appreciate different cultures, and learned to really live, work, and be independent. Tdk026 - University of Hartford View Entire Review
Yes. It was very worthwhile. I think its great to get away and meet new people (even if they are mostly Americans). I got to travel around and see Australia. The only downside on the whole experience is that I didn't get to meet that many Australians. Kyle J - Tufts University View Entire Review
My semester in Brisbane, Australia, was the most unforgettable and exciting semester of my undergraduate career thus far. As a Zoology major, I chose to take classes unique to the Australian environment (like Coral Reefs) and had the amazing opportunity to conduct research with an Honors student based on gecko behavior. I crosse... Ashley H - University of New Hampshire View Entire Review
I learned that most people are not different from myself, but learning how other people think has helped me further understand myself. I learned that studying is very important as is the positives that come along with time management. This experience has taught me so much and I really want to set aside accounts so that my nieces...

I think I have made it obvious how obsessed I am with my program and how much I love Australia- I have defintely gained new perspectives and matured significantly. Everyone told me going abroad would change my life and I can honestly say that is an understatement. My academic plans havn't changed much but I know now I want to ...

YES! I learned so much about not just Aussie culture, but culture from all the international students with me. It was beautiful, fun, and got so much from it in every way possible. I'm much more aware of the world's thoughts on America and our education system's lack of intrest in international studies. We are so behind in langu...

Absolutly, I would not trade this experience for the world. I am so much more open minded and alot more independent. I have traveled to so many different places, experiencing many different cultures that makes me a more well rounded indivual. Eric B - University of Hartford View Entire Review
About
The vibrant coastal city of Brisbane (1,700,000) is situated on the bends of the Brisbane River and is surrounded by forested hills. From the famous beaches and resorts of the Sunshine and Gold Coasts, only about one hour away, to the beautiful islands found just off the coast of Queensland, this city is in the perfect location for any adventurer with a desire to travel. The warm summers and clear mild winters make Brisbane the ideal destination for study abroad students all year long.
Within Brisbane, students will find that the city has an energetic, urban atmosphere where colonial buildings stand side by side with skyscrapers. Students will find that this city is host to many activities such as strolling through the open-air Queen Street Mall, enjoying the sounds of local bands in the Valley, or even viewing the local indigenous works of art found in the many art galleries around Brisbane. Past participants of ISA's Brisbane study abroad program have taken advantage of the many opportunities to become involved in university life, including many on-campus sports and clubs. This is a great way to meet Australian students who are typically friendly, laid-back and welcoming. The ISA staff in Brisbane helps students achieve their goals for study abroad by providing support throughout the program.
