Amazing Study Abroad Experience in the Gold Coast with The Education Abroad Network! Past Review
By Casey R (Business Administration/Justice Studies, University of New Hampshire) for
The Education Abroad Network (TEAN): Gold Coast - Bond University
My study abroad experience was completely worth it. I made great friends, learned so much about myself, and had so much fun. I got to experiences so many things that most people don't get to do in a lifetime! I got to travel all around Australia, Fiji, and New Zealand and see amazing things! I highly recommend it!

The beach housing offered by The Education Abroad Network was amazing! It was a brand new apartment building located two blocks from the beach. It was very close to restaurants, bars, clubs, malls, and grocery stores. There were two pools/hot tubs, sauna, gym, daily cleaning service, and they were all fully furnished with a balcony! I had so much fun and was completely satisfied with my stay. |
