MSA student comments

"My exchange to Malaysia has been more than just a cultural experience. I have made wonderful friends who I will stay in touch with into the future. I have experienced a different approach to teaching and learning and gained an insight into the country’s political, social and economic perspectives. I urge students interested in broadening their outlook on life to apply to study abroad."

"The Monash campus in Clayton is amazing and exudes academia. I enjoyed everything including the independence, the novelty and the fact that it was all new. You learn a lot about yourself when travelling on your own and experiencing the sights and adventures that you have seen and heard about, is priceless.   The people you meet are incredible and the friendships you share make every experience so much more special."
Marika Steenkamp, Bachelor of Arts student

"I thoroughly enjoyed staying on the campus in regional Victoria, located in the heart of Gippsland, surrounded by scenic countryside and a peaceful environment. I loved everything about my time spent abroad - the people were so fantastic and ever-welcoming and never once did I feel like an outsider. Deciding to go on the Study Abroad Programme is an absolute must for any student and certainly added to my growth and development, not only academically but on a personal level - it is a truly life changing experience."

"Australia has been absolutely fabulous! The whole atmosphere is very relaxed and the people are really friendly… The Study Abroad Department really do encourage the mixing and mingling with other exchange students, and we also get to meet and hang with students from Australia as well. This has just been an amazing experience and I hope that others take up this great opportunity as well."
