Student Profile

Amelia Black, University of Minnesota Twin CIties

Studying abroad at University of Sydney

"I am fascinated by the culture of Australia- how it evolved as a remote island nation to become the thriving, unique culture that it is today. I chose the study-internship combo because I really want to take classes at an Australian University with Australian students, but I also thing it's the chance of a lifetime to participate in an internship."
