Ron Chau, University of Western Australia

Studying abroad at the University of Arizona

"My favourite thing about Australian education is the way it combines a relaxed culture with academic rigour. You can work with professors who will push you to reach your full potential during the day, and then continue on with them more socially in the evening. You can learn from some of the best professors in the world, and call them by their first name (in fact, they may feel embarrassed if you call them 'professor.')"
