My name is Karen and I\u2019m from Canada. Back home at SFU, my major is communication with minors in interactive arts & technology and publishing. I\u2019m part of the exchange program for one semester for my minor in interactive arts and will be graduating upon returning to Vancouver.<\/p>\n

The International Students Services Unit (ISSU) at Flinders is a great resource well equipped with very accommodating staff members. They offer a lot of different activities prior to starting classes and during orientation week (O’Week) that you will already have met a great group of friends before school officially started!<\/p>\n

And having applied to live on campus at Flinders Living is great. Not only is it convenient, but you are also surrounded by a great group of people. When you pass by people, it becomes natural to greet each other even though you might not know their name!<\/p>\n

I had a fantastic welcome within 24hrs of arriving by my flatmates and the koala living in the tree beside my unit! It was definitely a great start to my semester and although winter is arriving, I can\u2019t wait to see what else Adelaide has in store for me \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
