“They were great with preparing me to move”

I really appreciated how helpful and knowledgeable the staff were. Made applying so much more of an easier and comfortable process! They were great with preparing me to move, they offered me a range of services however I was already fairly set up in Australia and didn't need their services that much! Greatly appreciated all their offers to help however.

“OzTREKK provided invaluable information and I would not have been able to get to where I am without them.”

My experience with OzTREKK was excellent. From the initial request for more information about Australian universities, to navigating the application process, and gaining advice about accommodations and life in Australia. OzTREKK provided invaluable information and I would not have been able to get to where I am without them. It was all excellent, especially having the students meet up in Canada before moving over.

“I feel like Oztrekk went above and beyond. ”

Oztrekk was amazing! The pre-departure resources removed a lot of the ambiguity around the administrative tasks associated with the process (visas, transcripts, health check etc.). I also appreciated all the opportunities to build connections with other students, both in my year and in years above, such as with the facebook groups, meet-ups etc. Also, [OzTREKK] was a huge help for settling in before classes started. Finding accommodation was slightly stressful, but I think tha... Read More

“The best part service for me was how accessible the staff were either through emails or phone calls.”

It was amazing! They were very very throughout the whole admission process, responds to emails might took a day but if whenever i had an urgent request, I called and they took care of it very quickly. they also made the whole admission process very easy for us as we could apply to all dental schools that take international students. the best part service for me was how accessible the staff were either through emails or phone calls.

“…great walk-through of what must be done to enroll”

I loved the quick emails, no application fee, great walk-through of what must be done to enroll, and the amazing organization of what is required by each school, their tuition, the deadlines, the cost of living, etc. I think it went quite smoothly- there was never a lack of communication which made it simple and less stressful to choose a school and commit. Also, with the full transparency of the costs and what is required, it makes the decision making process with parents much smoother as well.
