OWU Connection Experience: Studying abroad at the University of Technology in Sydney, Australia
“Australia has been my biggest dream since I was a little kid. I was amazed by its landscapes, the people, the animals, and their way of life.
“When I saw an opportunity to go, I knew that the universe was telling me to go, so I went and didn’t look back.”
“By attending the University of Technology Sydney, I was able to obtain a more in-depth insight into my major, which will ultimately allow me to become a more well-rounded individual in the physics/engineering world. …
“By studying abroad, I was able to experience new places and cultures, make friends from all over the world, and obtain a global perspective.”
“Going to the beach with my friends. When we go, we are surfing, paddle boarding, and enjoying the sunset view from the beach. …
“I was fortunate enough to travel to Australia with my fraternity brother Jonathan Munroe ’24.”
“I chose OWU because I enjoy the small college community. I am able to meet many people and not feel like a stranger among my peers.
“OWU is a home away from home since everyone gets treated with love and respect.”
“I plan to leave my mark on the world by shaping the future through engineering.”
