Grades are typically based more on written work and a large exam at the end of the semester rather than on periodic tests and quizzes. In general, exchange students need to be mature and self-directed to have a good learning experience abroad. The hall most likely to be used is organized in blocks with 6 students in each block. Students have a private bedroom but share a toilet, shower, kitchen and lounge area with other students in the block. Coin operated washers and dryers are available for use by students.
Residence halls are self-catering allowing students to cook meals in the kitchen in their block.
Students can rent utensil kits and will not need to carry linens, dishes etc. In the event the residence halls are filled, the International Office will assist students to find housing off campus. Since the exchange program does not start until mid-February students have the option of traveling in Australia before as well as after the end of the program. You will need to have a passport and visa to study in Australia. The Office of International Programs can provide you with more information on travel and immigration requirements.
