Description:
The University of Notre Dame has intentionally remained a small university in order to allow personalized, individual attention for students to insure their studies are a success. The University of Notre Dame is located in the historic west end of Fremantle, the main port city of Western Australia, 12 miles from Perth. It is a "town" university and the only one of its type in Australia. Present and past merge into a rich mix of cultures and traditions, typical of the older university towns of Europe. Students enjoy an ideal location for study and recreation. A vast array of cafes and restaurants, specializing in all styles of cuisine, and local beaches are within a 5-minute walk of the campus. An efficient suburban rail service connects Fremantle to central Perth, just 20 minutes away. Join Study Australia on an optional tour of the Great Barrier Reef and Tropical North Queensland July 9 - 16, 2006. After Study Australia's 5-day orientation in Sydney, head up the coast to experiene the wonders of the Great Barrier Reef, explore the tropical rainforests and native wildlife, participate in extreme activities such as white water rafting and bungy jumping, and soak up the Australian sun. Then head to your host university to begin your studies. Complete trip details will be available in March. This trip is open to semester participants only.
