“Adelaide is very laid back, and everyone is surprisingly warm, open and welcoming. I also seem to be doing more sports here than I ever do at home, so I feel amazing!
“Flinders is more challenging than my university at home - I’m certainly never bored here!
I live in the university hall and we have all pretty much been forced into getting to know each other. It’s been embarrassing, hilarious, warming – there is not a bad apple among us.“When I finish at Flinders I want to write. I’d love to start in music journalism but eventually I want to be an international journalist... maybe even write for National Geographic.”
