Ruby enjoying the peace and the view |
Ruby Johnston, Arizona, USA
I was amazed by the amount of activities that were always happening on campus and surprised by all the programs offered especially for international students.
I love the lifestyle, I would rather live a lifestyle that allows me the freedom and time to actually enjoy life instead of rushing through every moment of it.
Jane Shelby, Colorado, USA
I like Darwin, it's laid back and lively at the same time. You can actually see people making time to laze around and watch sunsets. It's a lot different from home and it's got a great night scene.
Stanley Heinze, Germany
Choosing to study at Charles Darwin was the best decision I've ever made. It's really been one of the greatest experiences of my life. I've had the opportunity to undertake fieldwork in ecological and tropical biology that wouldn't be possible at home in Germany. I've had some great experiences with friends, other students and lecturers.

Linda Hauglid, Norway
Darwin is a beautiful place - the climate, the relaxed lifestyle - so different to what I am used to in Norway! I have met a lot of people and made many new friends from all over the world.
Erin Packard, Arizona, USA
I love the creative atmosphere of the faculty and creativity of other students. The environment at Charles Darwin University is very laid back and I enjoy the wildlife and outdoors activities that are abundant here in Darwin. My time in Darwin has been excellent. I'll take away endless memories and matchless friends!
Christopher Taylor, Massachusetts, USA
I chose Charles Darwin University because it's the perfect location for what I want to study, Aboriginal art and the art of SE Asia.
Charles Darwin is helpful to students like me. Its administration is really professional and the studio space I have is great. It's easy to make friends and you get to see a lot of other art student's work.
Christopher Morton, Idaho, USA
I'm really happy with the standard of tuition and studying photography has given me the opportunity to travel on expeditions to outback centres.
I really like Darwin, it's not a big city so it doesn't have any of the big city down sides like pollution, traffic, crowds and stress. The people are perfectly happy to let you work at your own pace, its really comfortable.
Jeanne Young, USA
I have studied in both America and Australia, but for what I'm now studying Charles Darwin University represents the sort of opportunity that you can only hope will come along once in a career.
The close to undisturbed ecology of the Northern Territory and the relaxed the helpful attitude I've found at Charles Darwin are both unlike anything I've experienced anywhere else. I've found the transition to Charles Darwin University really easy and extremely productive.
