Certificate in Advanced English student Tanja Oelschlaeger
appreciated the cultural differences she encountered while living
in Australia.
"Australians are more relaxed, the food is completely different,
it's a different way of living," she says.
Tanja says her studies at USC allowed a greater focus on
speaking in English, which allowed her to improve her vocabulary
and grammar.
"I think in Australia you learn more by doing (speaking)," Tanja
says.
Tanja says her favourite experiences on the Sunshine Coast
involved the people she met at USC. She said University staff
helped to make her stay an enjoyable one by organising trips and
providing advice on university courses.
Tanja also enjoyed her Homestay accommodation.
"My house is amazing and my family is very nice," she says.
"I wouldn't want to live anywhere else."
