I love to recommend Perth and my school to the whole world!
I chose ECU because it was the first school in Western Australia (WA) to offer hospitality management courses, and the teaching level and quality is high.
My biggest achievement so far is being a Student Ambassador of Perth 2020-2021. I love to recommend Perth and my school to the whole world!
I think the most distinctive feature of Perth is its excellent natural environment. It has the most beautiful sunset in the world and its market culture is the best.
Living in WA, you can meet different people and cultures from all over the world. This kind of cultural collision can make people more tolerant.
