“Arriving at Mannix College from abroad, I was immediately welcomed into a warm community. The friendships I made here, with people from all over the world, have been the highlight of my experience. Mannix didn’t just provide me with a place to stay; it connected me deeply with Australian culture and made Melbourne feel like home.
As I prepare to leave, I can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia. I’ll miss the vibrant life and the sense of belonging that Mannix offered. This place has given me not just an education, but memories and friendships that will last a lifetime. Thank you, Mannix College, for an unforgettable experience!”
