 My name is Maria Mohamed and I'm from Maldives. I am studying at Murdoch University. I'm studying a double degree in economics and education. The best thing about studying at Murdoch University is the support we get from there. For example, when I first came here, I didn't know what I was getting into because I've never been to Australia before and I was quite worried about how the whole experience would go but right from the beginning Murdoch has been very helpful. My cousin was studying in Melbourne and he always tells me about the good experience he has in Australia so I thought I would give it a try too. I'm ecstatic about it because this has opened up so many new avenues for me. I have grown up in many different ways by coming here. If you ever get this chance, don't let it go. The most important thing that I have learned here in Australia is about the multiculturalism in Australia and working along different kinds of people, different people from different nations and cultures and that is very important for your career. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here and I'm going to miss it very, very much.
