My name is Gary Chen. I’m an international student from Taiwan. I’m currently studying on my last year of Physiotherapy program at the University of Queensland. I came to Australia when I was 15 years old by myself for high school.

I met Sophia through study experience program running by NEST when I was 13 years old. I had one month of study experience in Brisbane at the local state high school and really enjoyed it. I was amazed of the educational system here in Australia. As the result, I started my journey in Australia. Thanks for NEST and Sophia who gave me the opportunity to study at one of the best high school at Gold Cost. I had an amazing studying experience through out my entire high school life.

However, Sophia and NEST also helped me got into one of the top OP1 program in QLD after I graduated from high school, which is the Physiotherapy program at the University of Queensland. This is literally one of the best programs I always wanted to study for various reasons. Firstly, It is a perfect program for people who want to study medicine as the premed undergrad program. It is not only the top Allied Health professional that everyone is respected of, you can also learn all the basic medical knowledge you need for studying in medicine. Secondly, Physiotherapist is a high demanded job in Australia. Due to this reason, it is predominantly easier to find a job and apply for PR compare to other professions, if your goal is to stay in Australia once you have graduated.

NEST and Sophia has been taking care of me ever since I was a kid and helped me through my journey in Australia. Without their care and support, I don’t think I’m able to survive and continue to be in Australia. NEST treats every of their students like their own children, and provide support and care through their journey of study here in Australia. NEST is definitely the best study agency in QLD that provide the best care and guidance for you to study here in Australia as a foreigner.
