I learned about myself. I learned how to be confident in what I knew and believed in, but to also be open-minded and available to learn new things and experience different places.

A student studying abroad with GlobaLinks Learning Abroad: Sydney - University of Sydney
It was extremely worthwhile. It took me until months after I came back home to pay off my credit cards from my trip, and I still am indebted to my dad, but I would do it all again. I wish I could! I couldn't believe how quickly my semester abroad flew by. As quick as it was, I know I have changed because of it. I'm more independ... - University of Nebraska- Lincoln View Entire Review
The working part. It impacted me enough for me to say I'll be back. - Longwood University View Entire Review

I learned a lot about the indigenous populations and their struggles that they still go through today. Australians take an extremely different value to being indigenous than Americans.

Because I went out and steered away from the program, I got involved with many local and international people who went to different schools, worked in different areas, and made my experience more enjoyable. I grew a lot as a person and met people that I will keep in my life forever. - University of Hartford View Entire Review

About

While the area where Sydney stands was originally inhabited by Aborigines thousands of years ago, the city as we know it today began in 1788 when the British established a penal colony in the area of the city now known as "The Rocks." The modern image of Sydney now includes the iconic images of the Sydney Opera House and the Harbor Bridge among others.

Although it is Australia's largest city, encompassing over 4 million people, Sydney is easily accessible with its many forms of public transportation and has something for everyone. It's made up of wonderful neighborhoods and beach communities allowing for students to explore the rich culture of the city. Students will find a variety of activities such as browsing the arts and crafts markets scattered around the city, socializing at the many sidewalk cafés and coffee shops, cheering on local Aussies playing cricket, and even visiting the beautiful Queen Victoria Building, renown for its Victorian architecture and numerous shops. Easily accessible mountains and beaches, such as the famous Bondi and Manly beaches, also allow students to take advantage of the cities natural beauty.
