"Taking a break from comfortable routine and challenging myself to spend a semester studying in Northern Finland was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I got to meet inspirational people from around the world and gain global perspective on things I took for granted as being 'normal'. A year ago, I couldn't even imagine that I would get to see things like the Northern Lights, reindeer walking along the road, the Russian ballet, and Santa Claus at the Arctic Circle!." |

"Think about seeing Niagara Falls on “the Maid of the Mist”. Located in a university city you meet students regularly and receive student benefits not found in Australia like free entry on nights out, discounted taxi prices and unlimited bus transport. The on campus active culture is dynamic with internal and external sport and interests groups for everyone (check out their Ice Hockey team!). Studying 20 minutes away from Niagara Falls is unbelievable and allows you to travel to both America and Canada at domestic prices." |
