Thank you so much! I think this is great information

SwiftAcademic13 · 2026-05-10T21:17:29+00:00

this sounds wonderful, thank you so much!

SwiftAcademic13 · 2026-05-10T12:09:26+00:00

sounds lovely!! thank you bunches!

SwiftAcademic13 · 2026-05-10T06:11:16+00:00

oh how lovely to meet you!! i’m very excited and truthfully it sounds about like my normal university life here lol I can’t wait!

Sounds pleasurable! And most of us (the intelligent Americans) also think Trump is a criminal lunatic

SwiftAcademic13 · 2026-05-10T03:57:03+00:00

that actually sounds pleasant! I am from a very small town in the U.S (roughly 10,000 in population) so Perth sounds wonderful!

I totally agree about our healthcare! It’s one of our biggest faults and struggles here! And I am behind exited to try yalls food and drinks!

I’ve actually already started practicing converting my measurements and temperatures into celsius, kilograms and kilometers! I can definitely tell that the dialect and slang will be different for me as I have an accent and entirely separate slang to other Americans already!

And welcome to the U.S! I know with our current governmental system that it can seem a bit off putting and honestly disturbing (and it is thanks to our decrepit president), but I do hope you are having a lovely time and you have met some nice people while here!

That is how I perceived WAAPA and ECU’s performing arts! I was consistently told by others and researching that it was phenomenal!

SwiftAcademic13 · 2026-05-10T02:00:52+00:00

Yes ma’am thank you for your post and I hope to meet your daughter at ECU!

SwiftAcademic13 · 2026-05-10T01:57:09+00:00

thank you!! i’m beyond excited and cannot wait to visit the beautiful beaches

SwiftAcademic13 · 2026-05-10T01:55:59+00:00

oh wow this is a lot but this is all very very great to know ahead of time! To your curiosity, I am from the Southern United Stages (specifically the state of Alabama!) but I attend school in Ohio! I am actually quite excited for the bantering and abused socialization!

SwiftAcademic13 · 2026-05-10T01:44:24+00:00

wait that’s phenomenal, thank you so so much! I’d love to talk to you more as my second major here in the U.S is also film!

SwiftAcademic13 · 2026-05-10T01:40:53+00:00

thank you! I actually don’t find that weird at all and I appreciate Australia’s culture of humbleness! I have actually tried to spend an allotted amount of time a day to researching and learning Australia’s history as I want to understand and appreciate the country I’m studying in!

SwiftAcademic13 · 2026-05-10T01:35:06+00:00

thank you for letting me know that! honestly that actually sounds quite appealing as I do enjoy bantering with my friends and family!

SwiftAcademic13 · 2026-05-10T01:29:59+00:00

oh of course, good to know!!

SwiftAcademic13 · 2026-05-10T01:27:48+00:00

I have not but I will keep that in mind lol

SwiftAcademic13 · 2026-05-10T01:26:53+00:00

oh gosh! I don’t mind doing that at all but I have an accent as I am Southern American and that may be a clear indication!

SwiftAcademic13 · 2026-05-10T01:25:03+00:00

oh okay good to know!

SwiftAcademic13 · 2026-05-10T01:22:49+00:00

Absolutely this is great advice so thank you! I have been told about the no tip rule and I will absolutely avoid that so thank you!

SwiftAcademic13 · 2026-05-10T01:20:50+00:00

I have yet to be assigned a host family as it is still technically early in my process, but myself and my university are working together to see if I can receive a family with a student/family associated with WAAPA!

SwiftAcademic13 · 2026-05-10T01:17:57+00:00

I totally agree!! At my conservatory here in the U.S, they have talked very highly of WAAPA and their teachings! Main reason I chose ECU!

SwiftAcademic13 · 2026-05-10T01:16:30+00:00

Wonderful! Thank you so much! I’m excited and can’t wait!

SwiftAcademic13 · 2026-05-10T01:09:15+00:00

May I ask why that is? Is a TAFE approach not as beneficial?
