Student Testimonial

Everyone is nice and the teachers are very helpful. Classes are more informal and you are encouraged to work in groups. The International Department were always there for us and provided many experiences for us like surfing and golf lessons. Being an International student prepared me well to have the confidence to try new things in the future.
