Arcadia Australia

38 brand new students from all over the USA arrived bleary eyed but excited and ready for a 4-day orientation in Melbourne. Amongst the all the important information we also managed a boat tour out to Williamstown and a spooky historic ghost tour of Melbourne. Those tiny alleys are even shadier than they first appear. Hosier Lane – famous for some of the best graffiti and street art in the world – not only hosts great creativity but also some creepy and sinister history and a serious array of paranormal activity! Luckily we stayed in the Central Business District (CBD) and there’s always a great gelato shop around the corner to salve our worries.

A quick flight up to Brisbane followed by a bus trip to the Gold Coast and the students were ready for an exciting beginning to term. Already planning surf trips to Byron, stand up paddle boarding at Currumbin and a few students even booked diving with sharks down on the coast of South Australia! Studying abroad on the Gold Coast has so much to offer and the students studying at Bond are already making the most of their 4 months abroad.
