The culture here in Australia may be different to your home country. We recommend that you look into the Australia culture before you arrive on our shores. But just a brief overview, you should know that in Australia, we have a laidback outlook on life. You will hear a lot of people say ‘no worries’, and that there is a lot of interest in sports. In Sydney, you will get to meet new people and create friendships. If you are unable to make new friendships, then we highly recommend that you participate in our campus activities, or join our clubs and societies, as this is a great way to make new friends.
When you begin your new chapter here in Australia, you should be mindful of the different phases that you will go through. You will first experience a lot of joy and excitement, as this is the start of something new! Then you will experience a bit of uneasiness, as you interact with a new culture. It is a new experience for you but it is something that almost every international student goes through. You may also experience homesickness at this time. Finally, you will adapt, as you become accustomed to the Australian culture.
