It’s been one of the best three months of my life! Student Exchange is a rare opportunity that students have to try their best to grab. The experience that I've got is definitely worth the time, money and effort. Australia is totally different from Singapore. I learned how to deal with different kind of people, especially because the students in Melbourne Business School (MBS) are very well-diversified. I also had the opportunity to promote NUS in MBS.

Melbourne Business School (MBS) was a great learning experience for me. I interacted with people form across the world and age groups; Latin Americans to Europeans to Australians to Asians.
The lecturers were highly enterprising and the lectures were both hands-on and thought-provoking.
Everything outside MBS was a great adventure! The highlight of the MBS social calendar was the Latino party.The energy present in the Latin dance froms amzaed me. I travelled extensively from Melbourne to Sydney to the Gold Coast.
The spirit of Australia and Australians can be best summarized by the phrase I heard most often during my stay there. It was also the last phrase I heard from the cabin crew when I left the aircraft, having thanked them for their wonderful service.
"No Worries, Mate!"

Do take day trips to places such as Great Ocean Road, Philips Island. The are a lot of places to explore in Melbourne City itself and most placees can be easily reached using trams. Overall, I found the student exchange program very worth going. It's a chance to experience studying and living overseas even for a short period of time.
