Melbourne, Australia

"Melbourne takes some getting used to. For the first couple weeks, you will feel totally lost and the public transportation system will be tricky. But after that, everything starts making sense, and it actually gets a lot smaller than you think it is. It ended up feeling like home to me, and I will definitely be coming back here after I graduate. Don't waste time, either. Jump right into everything and take advantage of the opportunities that present themselves. Go on road trips, travel all over, and be open minded about things because it's a totally different way of life in Melbourne. Learn to appreciate the lane ways, street performers, and the locals' serious obsession with coffee! This city is amazing and I guarantee you will fall in love with it!"

"Just an incredible experience, hard to put into words without writing a 20,000 page paper."

"There are no words for how perfect my experience was! I fell in love with the Australian lifestyle and made a ton of amazing friends, who I still keep in touch with to this day. La Trobe was a perfect Uni to study abroad for many reasons. It was mostly all Australians, so I really got to learn about their culture and get the full "Aussie experience", it's a huge campus and everything you need is right there including stores, a hair salon, restaurants, bars, etc. If I had the choice I'd go back today!"

"I really enjoyed the opportunity to explore [Melbourne] Victoria and I probably wouldn't have been able to go the places we did if not for ISA."
