There are people making out in parks, on the metro, in restaurants, etc. The appeal of Australia and New Zealand as study abroad sites has grown significantly, according to Sciadini. Not only is the landscape here amazing, lending easy access to the remotest desert and the most tropical rainforests, but also Australia's proximity to Asia has been a great asset. Over a week break from classes, a large group of us spent eight days in Bali, Indonesia, in a part of the country I would never have imagined going to if I'd not been here in Australia. Students in Australia start classes during Australia's winter, and live in apartments or student villages in campus flats with eight people, bedrooms and common living areas, kitchens and bathrooms.
Students cook for themselves.
The classes over here are, for the most part, the same except all classes have a mandatory tutorial, which is a discussion seminar. It's chilly, but slowly warming, in Chile. Vanderbilt student Mary Wassel often wears gloves in class because of the absence of central heat in classrooms. An only child, Wassel requested to stay in a home with children. The kids are great and I love playing with them.
