“
It‘s important in my studies
not only to have classroom
learning, but the opportunity
to see a living, working city
where city planning has
succeeded. Melbourne has
consistently been ranked as
one of the most liveable cities
in the world, providing me the
best opportunity to get a great
education while living abroad.
