Louise Brockdorff Jensen is a Danish Study Abroad student

"The experiences I've had while studying in Australia have been incredible.
"I felt really welcomed when I arrived; I received heaps of support and new cultural imputs from Australian people, students at RMIT University and staff at the RMIT Education Abroad office.
"Studying at RMIT has been great - I have developed strong friendships with people from many different countries.
"RMIT is very different from university in Denmark. I was given the option of having classes in the evening, and I had the opportunity to study alongside business professionsals, which provided me with different perspectives.
"I would definitely recommend to anyone interested in studying abroad to study in Australia at RMIT, not only because of the knowledge you gain from the teaching, but also for the great social experiences that travelling and living overseas give you.
"I think that the combination of the great social life and studying has been the perfect way for me to explore Australia."
