Having visited Australia from a young age, I always felt a strong connection to the country. So when it came time to choose a university, I knew I wanted an Australian education. Monash’ s Malaysia campus was the perfect fit, offering the best of both worlds— the comfort of home and the excitement of an international learning experience. My degree took me beyond borders, from a summer study program in China and South Korea to an exchange at the Caulfield campus in Melbourne.”
