Spring 2024 Study Abroad Student from Stuttgart University of Applied Sciences
Stuggart, Germany
With two suitcases in both hands, a lot of excitement in my stomach, and about
24 hours later, I finally arrived in my new home.
Sydney; the city I immediately fell in love with.
Thanks to my 6-bed flat share in the UTS student residence and the countless
events, I didn't find the start of my new life particularly difficult.
This allowed me to easily connect with many other students, who I can now even
call friends for life.
UTS offers many exciting subjects, so I
was able to enroll in classes that interested me and helped me develop skills for my professional future and my
personal growth.
One of my favorite places at the
university is the library with a view over
the city and the campus.
As a balance, I did a lot with my friends,
we went out, hiked in the diverse
surroundings of Sydney, or watched the
sunrise on one of our favorite beaches.
Whale watching on a random Tuesday?
Sure, why not?!
The great thing about Sydney is that so
many cultures come together, and everyone can learn something from each
other. People are so open-minded and supportive!
My time here has already taught me a lot and boosted my self-confidence
enormously.
I can only recommend everyone to
take the big step of studying abroad
and step out of their comfort zone,
because the experiences that come
with it, even if it can be difficult at
times will be helpful for the rest of
the life.
I'm excited to see what happens
next, and before I travel back with
my two suitcases and maybe one
more, I'm enjoying every minute and
I am so grateful for the incredible
experience I've had so far!
