Discover Australia<\/div>\n<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

\u201cI learned a lot about Australia and the lifestyle here. My mentor and her family are amazing. They have been very welcoming towards us and have helped us discover Melbourne a lot better than we probably could have on our own. She is friendly and very kind. She knows a lot about different cultures in Melbourne and always keeps us updated on any interesting events going on in the city.\u201d Ethan Bui Thanh Tung who is from Vietnam (BEng[CompSc] Year 3)<\/p>\n

\u201cSylvia gave me many tips about life in Melbourne while helping me get through the first stage of an exchange – adjusting to a new environment. Also, through all the chats and gatherings with her, I also learnt a lot about future planning, about gaining different life experiences, and not just limiting myself when it comes to my studies. From her, I found my passion towards life and courage to overcome whatever difficulties are in front of me. I am so glad to have befriended Sylvia who introduced me to the lifestyle of Australians. \u201d Quo Peiqi (BEcon&Fin Year 3)<\/p>\n
