Student Experiences
Yangni Liu, Semester 2, 2016
Bachelor of International and Global Studies
Uni Life
I got health insurance through My UW (student online account). FIUTS in UW is the orientation program.
Study
3 courses are the optimal amount for UW as one quarter is very short. I did not expect there to be lots of homework within every 2 weeks. So I became even more diligent than in Sydney.
Housing
I live at Identity. As I did not apply a one bedroom on-campus successfully, my friend recommended me a studio which is very close to school and places to eat, however it is a little bit small and there is no complete kitchen. At first when I moved in my studio I found there is no quilt and pillow for me, so I went to Target by myself and carried a lot of things.
Money Matters
I use the Bank of America. You should go to the bank when you have a stable place to live, as they will give you a permanent card after 1 week by mailing.
Top Tips
Apply to the student dormitory early so that you do not need to find a more expensive place to live. Cook at home or eat less every day. I started to meet friends proactively, as I did not have many friends in UW. But I found I became better in handling some things related to social contact.
