“My learning experience at Monash
has been great. I like that we have
many different rooms to study in
and a lot of online resources. I have
also been able to go on many visits
to nursing homes, schools for
special children, and go to
Segamat for a rural posting. I was
exposed to many different kinds of
people, and I’ve learned a lot.”
