Comment on Academic Experience
There were so many classes on exchange that it was always hard to choose.
Unlisted here are many short-term lectures, events, talks, meetups, student groups, and studygroups. Much more than I could possibly find around Sydney. The amount and variety of opportunities, from an academic standpoint alone, were absolutely astounding. The quantity of offerings also did not degrade their top-notch quality, it was absolutely amazing to be in the presence of leaders in their fields like Don Norman, Lev Manovich and many others.
Exchange Experience
During this time, I had the opportunity to form many of local and international friendships, and took a lot of trips that aren’t posted about on this blog. Perhaps one day I’ll post them up, for now I’ll leave this section in as a nostalgic bookmark to the experience.
Exchange overseas is one of the most amazing University experiences I’ve had and would highly recommend it to others currently studying - especially if you’re in the Australian educational system ;) .
