Living on the EDGE: Tiana Meng Ning Ting

GIVEN a million dollars, international student Sandy Cheng would like to set up an arts and culture centre in Melbourne and organise exchange programs for young artists in Australia and China.

Living on the EDGE: Nichole Youxin Ni
IF there are two perceptions of international students that China’s Nichole Ni would like to change, they’d be that students can’t speak English, and come to Australia only to indulge their lifestyles. What stereotypes would you be keen to debunk?

INTERNATIONAL students are a talented bunch alright. Just look at Remya Ramesh. She’s smart, has a heart for voluntary work, is passionate about social justice, and rocks the dance floor. What more could you ask for?
