Choosing to study at the University of Newcastle and use TEAN as a provider was an amazing fit for me. I really immersed myself in the Newcastle lifestyle, made life long friends and unforgettable memories. Living at the Samdon Street housing was a great experience because I got to live with a bunch of Australians and learn about their culture first hand. It made it really easy to get involved because there were always people around and things to do. The uni was also a short train or bus ride away and I liked attending a campus because my home college is very city based.

What would you improve about this program?

Australia in general is an expensive place, I wish I was more prepared on where my budget would go and travel expenses.

I learned that I can survive on my own and that my future activities are not just in America, they are anywhere in the world I want to go. I learned so much about myself, a foreign culture, and even my own culture. I learned to appreciate life. Best experience of my life- thus far!

What would you improve about this program?

TEAN is amazing!

Studying abroad in Australia was the best decision I have ever made! Newcastle was absolutely gorgeous and it was a short run to the beach! The weather was beautiful and the people were extremely friendly. The academics were very challenging and hands on. I learned so much and we worked as if we were professionals in our field already. Newcastle is only a three hour train ride to Sydney and I found myself going there at least once a week! (sometimes more) There are so many activities to get involved in and so many things to do. Living in Australia definitely changed my life!

What would you improve about this program?

I would make the program longer!

There is no link yet for the Universtity of Newcastle, because I was the first one to attend that University through the TEAN program. But Newcastle is just north of Sydney, and I feel like I got the best of both worlds! The University of Newcastle is a gorgeous campus with bridges, streams, and a jungle-like atmosphere. The Beaches in Newcastle are amazing, and the community is very friendly and welcoming. I had an absolute blast experiencing the food, culture, and local activities, and also visiting Sydney to get the "big city" feel on a regular basis!

What would you improve about this program?

To further advertize the University of Newcastle, and show students what an amazing opportunity it is!

Questions & Answers

Alumni Interviews

These are in-depth Q&A sessions with verified alumni.

Why did you decide to study abroad with TEAN?

Caitlyn Moore

Caitlyn: TEAN is a phenomenal program for study abroad. The orientation had every single tourist activity you could think of and it was jam packed with back to back events from sun up to sun down. They had optional pre-semester activities, spring break trips and even weekend trips to a different city. The staff who work at TEAN are some of the nicest people I’ve ever met. They really want to help you as much as they can to be prepared for your time abroad. TEAN isn’t the cheapest program for study abroad students, but the staff is great at helping people out financially, whether it’s offering ideas for scholarships or ways to raise money for the trip.

Tell us about an experience you had that you could not have had at home

Caitlyn: I am absolutely afraid of heights. Climbing the Sydney Harbor Bridge was one of the most terrifying things I have ever done in my entire life. We went in groups of six and we got hooked up to the railings on the bridge. We had to wear these fancy wet suits because it was raining. I took about fifty steps and I froze in fear and wouldn’t move. My friends encouraged me to keep going and when we finally made it to the top, it was breathtaking. You were able to see the entire city. It felt so freeing. At the top we were able to take a picture with the Sydney Opera House in the background. Going down was easier than going back up, but I will never forget how amazing it felt to be at the top of the bridge and face a fear.

Describe your favorite must-have food that you tried abroad.

Caitlyn: Australia had these cookies called Tim-Tams that were frosting on the outside and cookie in the middle, similar to Oreos, but with more frosting. They aren’t just normal cookies. They come in chocolate and vanilla or mixed flavors. They were really cheap and just about everywhere! All of the Australians loved them. They were great for breakfast, lunch, dinner or a snack! They were best in the freezer. I could never just eat one. They were chocolaty-goodness and I could never have enough. Whenever someone had Tim-Tams, they would always keep it a secret because they knew that if the word got out, everyone would eat them!

Tell us about any interesting cultural tidbits you noticed about your country.

Caitlyn: Everyone in Australia dressed like they were going to be in a fashion show every single day. They kept up with the latest fashion trends. The girls wore dresses and high heels and the guys wore nice shorts and a shirt. All the girls wore makeup and had their hair all fixed up. Coming from a school where people wear t-shirts, shorts and tennis shoes every day, this was a huge step up and I wasn’t expecting it. Needless to say that by the time I got home, I had the best fashion sense out of all of my friends!
