Elizabeth Coulson : “I can’t believe it, but I’m now a third of the way through my semester at the University of Sydney! I’ve immersed myself in my studies, learning more about Australian cinema and theater, genetics, brain structures, and health issues from an international standpoint. Over the course of the past two weekends, I also continued exploring Sydney and its surrounding areas. I saw glow worms in an abandoned train tunnel in Helensburgh, a town south of the city. I ventured through a local artist pop-up at Paddington Markets, admired the architecture of St. Mary’s Cathedral, wandered the halls of the Art Gallery of New South Wales, and finally walked along the coastal trail between Bondi and Coogee. As a Dance major, I’ve made an effort to find opportunities to dance and see dance performances in Sydney. I’ve recently engaged with weekly classes offered by MADSOC (the Movement and Dance Society at USyd), attended the organization’s 2026 Major Production, and invited friends to join me for an evening of line dancing in North Sydney.”
