Study abroad and exchange farewell

The things I enjoyed most about my time at UOW was the Australian culture, there was a sense of community. The city of Wollongong is the perfect combination of nature, shopping, beaches and nightlife. If you’re thinking about studying abroad at UOW, go for it! UOW supports exchange students and makes them feel welcome. Going abroad might be scary, but it might just be the best thing that will ever happen to you.
