What it's Like Moving to Sydney for University (UNSW)

The transition from high school to university can be pretty
confusing , but what if you combined that with the intimidating
transition from moving to a different and unfamiliar city (or
country) for university?

Newcastle) sits down with students who did just that: Jack
(Cessnock), Amir (Adelaide), Liv (Indonesia), and Ryan (New

hometowns to come to Sydney to study at UNSW.


They discuss:

uni
