Studying both from an Australian perspective at the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/studenttravelabroad.usc.edu\/index.cfm?FuseAction=Programs.ViewProgramAngular&amp;id=10029\">Australian National University<\/a>\u00a0was absolutely amazing! My favorite IR class was a class examining the politics of Pacific Island countries\u2014Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu, etc. Learning from regional Australian experts on the topic and thinking about a region that had never crossed my mind before studying IR at USC was a mind-opening experience. I couldn\u2019t believe that I got the chance to study at the Coral Bell School of Asia Pacific Affairs at ANU (considered one of the world\u2019s best IR schools) and to be in Canberra\u2014a world capital where movers and shakers in Asian foreign policy make decisions.<\/p>\n<p>I also greatly enjoyed the opportunity to take a math class at ANU\u2019s College of Business &amp; Economics that is not normally offered at USC! The ANU has an incredible selection of courses across all majors, stemming from its reputation in Australia as a place where experts choose to research and teach.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond my classes, I got the incredible chance to participate in the Australian National Internships Program (ANIP), through which I researched humanitarian assistance &amp; disaster relief policy for the Royal Australian Navy. Through ANIP, I got the chance to interview senior figures in the Australian Navy and Department of Defense, and made lasting connections with my mentors and my Australian cohort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beyond my classes, I got the incredible chance to participate in the Australian National Internships Program (ANIP), through which I researched humanitarian assistance &amp; disaster relief policy for the Royal Australian Navy.
