"I thought the units were all fantastic, in everything from the lesson content and structure to the teaching styles and even the other students were great. I really enjoyed the hands-on, practical way the lessons were taught and the range of subjects I was offered was varied and interesting. I think that there was a good balance of theory and practice in all my classes, and both were taught in fun and interesting ways. I'm pretty much trying to say that I really enjoyed my semester at Deakin and see it as an excellent experience both socially and educationally."

“I have to say that from the first contact via email I knew that Deakin was the school that I wanted to attend. The staff really truly care about the students and go beyond what is required to help us all out. You all amaze me in the way that you are so helpful when I have to come in, whether it was to ask about a claim form or just some random question. I only wish that the staff at my school were all like you. It is because of you that I am here in Australia experiencing life in a different way. Everything has really opened my eyes and changed my life in so many positive ways forever."

"Melbourne is the perfect city to have a good time. Big city flair, beautiful places and lots to do. Don't miss St. Kilda and the Bell Shakespeare Company. They were my personal Melbourne highlights apart from a good footy game crazy Australians who run into each other and a wild crowd that drinks a lot of beer and shouts the most obscene curses to the players but it's fun - really!"

"My semester exchange at Deakin University's Melbourne campus was a positive experience and one I'll never forget. My accommodation arrangements at Burwood Student Village were beyond anything I ever expected - new facilities with spacious private rooms, a cozy kitchen and lounge area, and even laundry facilities. The Residential Life staff members and the student residents were extremely helpful and always willing to assist myself, and the many other international or Study Abroad students, in dealing with the issues that come with being away from home. In addition, the Burwood Student Village sponsored several social activities throughout the semester, actively encouraging students to form social and academic networks, both of which were important in achieving a positive university experience."
