Past Review
By Daniel F (Finance and Financial Management Services., The University of Texas at Austin) for
The University of New South Wales: Sydney - Direct Enrollment & Exchange
It was special to expand my horizons in such a faraway place and making lasting friendships with people my age that live across the ocean. It was a 10/10 experience
