GROWING UP IN NEPAL
I grew up in Nepal, in a small town called Patichaur. I studied at a secondary boarding school until 10th grade and moved to the city for higher education. I chose to study in Australia because I compared different countries and found out that Australia had a very secure study environment compared to USA/UK and other European countries, also, I have a sister here and I knew I that being near here, I wouldn’t feel homesick when being far from my country.
UOW BEGA VALLEY
The Bega Valley campus is simply awesome. Everyone is helpful and it is a great study environment with cooperative colleagues and amazing teachers. I like the fact that It’s in a walking distance from my house. It has all the facilities I need as a student. The teachers are very welcoming, approachable and supportive.
DESTINATION AUSTRALIA SCHOLARSHIP
When I received the Destination Australia scholarship*, I was really excited and it made me look forward to studying UOW. It took a huge financial burden off me and I was so happy when I was given the scholarship.
LEARNING TO BECOME A NURSE
I plan to become a registered nurse, gain experience, and have fun. Without a doubt, I think that nursing is a really useful course as it has good career security, you will never run out of jobs as a nurse, and there is so much to learn. Nursing skills make a significant difference in day-to-day life.
ADVICE FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
My best piece of advice for other international students looking to study at this campus is to stay curious, have fun and keep learning because you have the best environment to do all those things here.
