What do you think of your course?

I'm happy, I enjoy it. It's like I'm free to do anything I want to do. At home I feel quite restricted, everyone does the same thing. but here I can choose my classes and choose my times.

The lecturers are all very professional, it's very good. I would definitely recommend the course if you like maths.

What do you think of life in Australia?

Australia is very open, Singapore is quite conservative. When you are talking to a local, Australians are more engaged - they talk to you a lot. In Singapore, we all talk about school work, here we talk about life - what we are doing in our free time and things like that.
