"My experience at UWA has been nothing but positive and studying here has given me so many opportunities. UWA supported me in pursuing a New Colombo Plan scholarship, which enabled me to go on exchange to the Chinese University of Hong Kong. I spent six months studying and interning in Hong Kong, and did an internship with a peace-building organisation in Nepal after spending a month learning Nepali. These experiences have been unforgettable and have allowed me to grow in many different ways."

"I got involved with uni life from the day I started university. I joined as many clubs as I could during Orientation Week. I started uni with a mindset that I wanted to do more than just study from 9am to 5pm and contribute to our campus life and the wider community. This year, I am the Guild's Environment Officer and the President for UWA French Club. As the Environment Officer, I run events and initiatives to promote sustainability on campus, from running EnviroFest to make-your-own keep cup events."
