My exchange to the Netherlands was amazing and I had the time of my life . I ’ ve learnt so much about this world and myself . I ’ ve been to 14 countries , tried delicious food and new things , and made friends from almost every region . I ’ m proud of myself for choosing to experience this alone with the goal of staying out of my comfort zone . You have to engage with people around you to understand who you really are and what you really like to do .”

What I ’ ll truly remember about my time abroad is the unexpected lifelong friendships and connections I ’ ve made with people from different parts of the world .”

Studying abroad in Melbourne has been life-changing . The academic experience was enriching and broadened my view of the global community , but perhaps the most significant part of my time abroad was exploring the city and experiencing the local culture . I attended musical theatre shows , visited museums and galleries , and wandered the streets taking in the spectacular architecture of the vibrant and bustling metropolis . This experience has left an indelible mark on my life .”

The Global Discovery Program was a truly eye-opening and humbling journey . Being in New York and meeting Monash alumni who are influential leaders in their fields made me realise the vastness of the world . Through engaging discussions with both the alumni and my fellow scholars , I challenged my thinking and rediscovered myself . This program transformed me , and I feel better prepared to embrace the uncertainties that lie ahead as I move forward in life .”
