Monash Abroad Inbound | Page 6

What our exchange students say “Studying in Kuala Lumpur was experiencing globalisation with a uniquely Malaysian twist. Just like how Malaysia’s cuisine is diverse, the courses I took here were too. We had teachers from various cultural backgrounds and different teaching methods. In one unit we had 14 students and in another, more than 100. Labs, lectures, tutorials and field trips were all part of the learning experience. I had a great time at Monash.” MAX VAN DEURSEN Exchange student from Leiden University, Netherlands “Studying at Monash Malaysia was one of the best experiences I have had so far in my life. I love to travel, immerse myself in new cultures, meet people from all around the world, and get challenged every day. My time at Malaysia has definitely satisfied all of these interests. I have been able to travel to several countries in Southeast Asia and meet a bunch of amazing people I will never forget. It is hard to describe how I feel about my exchange; the only way for you to understand the way I feel is to go on one yourself!” SABRINA BENNIS (right) Exchange student from University of Warwick, UK “I met a lot of interesting people from all over the world during my exchange who influenced my time here, and probably my life, in a very positive way. We shared incomparable memories, awesome moments and some sad ones, but they all strengthened the bond between us and widened our personal horizons. None of my days here were boring. If you want to discover new cultures and at the same time overcome your personal barriers, Malaysia is a very good place to study abroad.” SAHAR RAHIMI Exchange student from Fachhochschule Münster, Germany 4 MONASH ABROAD
