Meet Alina Risman

Alina Risman is from Russia and is studying the secondary high school program at the Sydney campus. If Alina's not at Taylors then you're more than likely to find her relaxing on Bondi Beach.

Alina Risman, high school student, Sydney campus

What do you want to study at university?
After finishing high school I would like to attend the University of Sydney's Faculty of Arts (Media and Communications program). I have always been interested in doing something creative (film-making, TV, advertising) which is why I have chosen this area of study.

Why did you choose to study at Taylors?
I am sure that Taylors College will help me to achieve all my goals in education because it gives me the opportunity to study the subjects I need to attend university. The teachers also help me so much and the college provides quality education in different areas.

What do you like about Taylors?
There's a big difference between studying in Russia and studying here. I like the methods which teachers used here - you feel a relaxed atmosphere between students and teachers and you can always talk with them like friends. Also, video materials and SMART Boards help us and make our lessons very interesting.

What do you like about Sydney?
Sydney is an amazing place for study, living and enjoying your life. There are a lot of fantastic places to visit. My favourites are the very beautiful beaches (especially Bondi and Manly) and Watsons Bay.
