Hi! I’m Rebecca, and I’m in my final year of studying law. I’ve always wanted to experience part of my degree abroad, and going on exchange felt like the perfect way to do something exciting before I graduate. I’ve been curious about other cultures for as long as I can remember, so when the opportunity came up to study overseas, I knew I had to go for it.

I chose Australia, particularly Wollongong, because of its strong academic reputation, stunning natural surroundings, and laid-back lifestyle. The combination of beaches, bushland, and a vibrant student community really appealed to me. I hope to gain a deeper global perspective, form meaningful friendships, and challenge myself in new ways inside and outside the classroom. I can’t wait to see where this journey takes me and if I become a full-on beach girlie by the end of this.
