Why did you choose to visit Australia?  I hope to be able to explore a new culture and learn about a place I have never had the opportunity to visit . Also from this experience I hope to learn about my major from a different perspective. The reason why I choose to go to Australia is that it offers such a great environment for geology and marine biology. In additon I hope to experience many new adventures and encounter new opportunities that I would not be able to at Hamilton College.
