The first in a continuing series of submissions of CCSU students writing in from where they are studying abroad.
I’m currently studying abroad in Queensland, Australia, The Gold Coast! Summer here is fast approaching and aside from taking classes at Bond University I’ve been snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef, white water rafting in Cairns, horse back riding in the rain forrest and I even volunteered planting trees to help save a local bird. What a life changing experience, meeting and networking with people from all over the world including Australia and the US, along with Brazil, France and Japan, and I’ve only been here 3 weeks! If you ever get the opportunity to study abroad, take it and run. Studying abroad gives you a new perspective of the world and a new perspective of yourself. I am embracing and savoring every moment. Next week I think I’ll try surfing. As they say in Australia: Cheers!
