Spring Semester in Gold Coast, Australia

I went abroad to Gold Coast, Australia in spring of 2024, and I had the absolute best time. I saw new animals (lots of kangaroos!!) and visited all new places. I got to travel throughout Australia, and I even made it to parts of Asia and New Zealand which were amazing. I met amazing people from all different backgrounds and made some lifelong friends. The places that I got to travel to were absolutely breathtaking. And the beaches on the Gold Coast were unreal. If you are planning on going abro...

I was consumed by anxiety as I prepared to embark on my Australian adventure. Yet, the experience transcended all expectations, emerging as the most extraordinary period of my life. I forged an enduring friendship with an individual who I am still close with. The privilege of exploring Australia's rich history through dedicated coursework was an invaluable opportunity. Each sunrise, I reveled in the spectacle of sunrise as I ran along the coast. Residing on campus facilitated unforgettable encou...

From the orientation at the Great Barrier Reef to the nonstop laughs in the dorms, I truly had the best time on the Gold Coast with TEAN. Writing this review makes me want to book another flight back. My two onsite trip leaders were great resources and very helpful when it came to acclimating to an entirely different country. Australia is an amazing country, but I believe it's the people who make the place. This program came with the best people and let me meet the greatest people. Go start your...

I was inspired to study abroad by my sister. She studied abroad in Edinburgh, Scotland while she was in school. After visiting her and hearing her talk about her experiences, I realized how much of an impact it made on her life and how cool of an experience it had to be to experience someone else's culture. I also have been fortunate to have traveled outside the country a few times in the past, and you could say, I caught the travel bug.

Alumni

I come from a tiny town in the middle of nowhere in New York. I always thought that getting out of there and moving to a bigger city would be beneficial for me, and I did it for college but still was not fulfilled. I decided to explore the furthest corners from home as possible by going to Australia.
