After a week-long orientation to the University of Canberra students have the option to participate in a trip organized by the Study Abroad Office at UC. Students will spend a weekend at a national park on the South Coast where students can enjoy the beach and learn about Australia's aboriginal culture. During the semester the Study Abroad Office plans other trips such as whale-watching, skiing and mountain climbing. The trips are a great way to meet other international students and explore Australia.
During the semester those interested in fitness can use the gym or join one of the many sports teams.
