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? 😳

In the first episode of the ‘Student Life’ series, Mitchell (from Newcastle) sits down with students who did just that: Jack (Cessnock), Amir (Adelaide), Liv (Indonesia), and Ryan (New Zealand), to talk about their experiences 🛫 moving away from their hometowns 💔 to come to Sydney to study at UNSW.

They discuss:

  • The initial struggles that come with being independent and living away from parents after ~18 years 
  • Why they chose to leave their hometowns and come to Sydney 💡
  • The challenges and rewards 💪 of moving to a different city for uni
  • Making friends 🥰 and fitting in to the Sydney culture 🥸
  • What it’s like leaving your high school network of friends behind
  • How one podcast episode 🎙 from CSESoc convinced Mitchell to come to UNSW instead of Newcastle Uni??
