2018
Brittany Wong
La Trobe had the most welcoming reception for international students which I appreciated coming from a different country. Since arriving in February 2016, I have joined the La Trobe Snow Sports Team, ALP, and Student Film and Theatre group.

The wedge-tailed eagle (Aquila audax) is one of the world’s largest. For the Wurundjeri People, traditional owners of the land where our Melbourne Campus is located, the wedge-tailed eagle is known as Bunjil. The eagle gives guidance to those in need.
‘Whenever there’s a fearsome time, or a time of doubt, or you’re not sure of which way to go or what you should do, most times an eagle will feature.’
– Aunty Joy Murphy Wandin, Senior Elder of the Wurundjeri People.
The eagle represents knowledge, wisdom and leadership. You can see one of these majestic animals at Healesville sanctuary or around the You Yangs in Victoria.

I love the fact that it is very easy to participate in class; the teachers are looking for discussions which are really interesting because we can link the theory with real life experiences. All my classes here at La Trobe University are related to my career path and I believe that the examples and exercises given in class will help me be prepared for my future job. As an exchange student, I have participated in the La Trobe fencing club, which I love! I have also been a volunteer at the Mud Run, which was really fun and a great opportunity to meet Australians.
