Testimonial

Mark Coombs, JD 2015, on exchange in Fall 2014

"Deakin has been incredible to me and the other international students. Our welcome trip to Lorne was a great experience. I got to meet other international students from all over the world, we all went surfing, went on hikes and did other fun activities together while learning about Australian culture. Melbourne is a beautiful city, I have thoroughly enjoyed checking out its lane ways, arcades and the Queen Victoria Market."
