About the Destination
Why Sydney?
Much more than a stunning location, Sydney is one of the world’s most multicultural cities - an international fusion of culture, languages, and ideas with nearly five million residents. The Society, Sport & Leadership program makes sure you won’t have to—with engaging courses, field study opportunities, and organized cultural events, you won’t have a dull moment. Fulfill a graduation requirement or try out something new, whichever you choose, you’ll learn more about Australia, and yourself, than you ever could at home. Beyond the classroom, we offer a variety of cultural opportunities to help you get to know the local culture.
The Student Experience
