I had a great time in Australia. Past Review

Southern Cross University: Lismore - Direct Enrollment & Exchange

What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
My study abroad experience was great I experienced a huge disapointment with my home school. When I decided to stay another semester they were not very responsive when I tried to e mail them with questions. At first they were, but after the initial e mail about what I need to do, they ignored my e mails and I wouldn't get any responses resulting in my parents having to call the school and figure out everything I need to do.
