Oz universities, that is. Against the backdrop of continued ruckus over a spate of incidents of assault on Indian students in Australia, Adam Gilchrist sends us this press release:
“For the past two years I have been representing the University of Wollongong in Australia as its ambassador with Indian students and alumni as well as helping to promote business investment in the University’s new Innovation Campus Business Park.
“Wollongong is a place that is very multicultural and welcoming to a wide range of international students including Indian students. And I believe Wollongong is representative of Australia’s openness to international students in general,” Gilchrist said.
“I have spent time on the University of Wollongong campus walking around and meeting Indian students – all of them loved studying and living in Wollongong. I believe it’s a great option for international students.”
He highlighted the fact that the University of Wollongong itself had no reported attacks against Indian students and overall this was the situation at most other Australian universities.
“In cricket, Australia and India have enjoyed a long history of great sportsmanship and camaraderie — I personally still love touring India –and I think this reflects the scene overall between India and Australia,” Gilchrist said.
