在海外升學的規劃中，獸醫學（Veterinary Science）一直是被視為極高難度的「神科」。Anthy 的案例展示了如何透過入讀優質澳洲中學，在學術與心理上做好雙重準備。

Anthy 自中四（Year 10）起便前往昆士蘭州的寄宿學校 Townsville Grammar School 就讀 。她修讀了包括 Maths Methods, Specialist Maths, Biology 及 Chemistry 等理科學科，為日後升讀專科打下堅實基礎 。
憑藉卓越的成績與顧問的精準佈局，Anthy 同時獲得了 University of Sydney (悉尼大學) 理學士以及 University of Queensland (昆士蘭大學) 獸醫學學士錄取，她最終決定追隨熱忱，選擇修讀獸醫學。以下是她的心路歷程與給學弟妹的留學建議。

當我 15 歲決定出國時，我對學生簽證、入學陳述書、學費、保險甚至是當地的電話卡資訊都完全沒有概念。雖然網上有海量資訊，但沒有一項是能為我量身定制的。AAS 的協助掃除了我的所有困惑，更重要的是，他們幫我釐清了目標，並告訴我如何達成 。

關於專業協助，最令我印象深刻的是顧問在簡短交談後，就能精確掌握我想要的學校類型。對我而言，最關鍵的一句話就是我表達了「我想在大學讀獸醫」。顧問隨即提供了大量目標學校的資料，直接與專業升學顧問對話的效果遠勝於 Google 搜尋 。這讓我在整個申請過程中感到非常安心，因為我知道 AAS 會專業地完成任務並帶領我成功入學 。

極致的信任感： 「老實說，我真的完全沒有擔心過拿不到 Offer 或需要 Plan B。不知為何，我就是深信 AAS 會履行職責並帶領我成功入學。」

化繁為簡的專業： 「AAS 在簽證、住宿和機票安排上的專業真的讓一切變得簡單太多了。原本這些繁瑣的手續，在顧問的指導下變得『步步清晰』——彷彿才剛做完這一步，接著『BOOM』一聲，我就已經坐在飛往新學校的飛機上了！」

Anthy 特別為即將出發的學弟妹總結了珍貴的建議：
．認清三大職責： 你的首要任務是學習、保持身體健康以及維持心理健康
．學會發聲： 獨立生活會帶來孤獨，要學會交真誠的朋友，並在需要時（如遇到霸凌或飲食不適）大膽表達意見
．學會包容．應對環境： 留學生活有很多不可控因素，學會容忍並利用抗噪耳機沉浸在學習中
．持續精進英語： 多與本地人交朋友，讀英文書，確保自己能流利運用地道英語
．把握機會．活在當下： 留學時光飛逝，請務必享受每一刻，勇於嘗試各種機會
．管理好財政： 獨立生活也意味著要對自己的花費與金錢管理負責

在尋求 AAS 協助前，你最大的擔憂是什麼？ What was your main concern before AAS?
Before AAS, I had no idea where to start planning. Whether it’s state, school, costs, you name it. It was all just a vague daydream before AAS helped solidify it. Yes, the internet gives you all sorts of choices, but none give you the most tailored choice. And not knowing a single thing about studying abroad made this whole thing more daunting. I was 15 and didn’t know much about student visas, medical checks and genuine student statements, school and boarding fees, insurance, career pathways, etc. Even data plans were confusing. Let’s just say having AAS helped clear up a lot of confusion and got rid of the stress of not knowing when deadlines are. Most importantly, they helped me figure out my goals and how to get there.

關於專業協助：顧問在那一方面幫到你最多？In terms of professional assistance, which aspect did your consultant help you with the most?
AAS gave me loads of booklets from all the schools that seem like it can be potentially a target.
Agents know what type of school you want after a brief chat (high or low cost, fancy or simple, career paving, same-sex or not, etc) (For me, all it took was mentioning that I wanted to do vet med in uni). Sometimes talking to someone and asking directly just beats Google easily. It is all smooth sailing after signing the contract.

關於心理支援：申請過程漫長，顧問如何令你覺得安心？Regarding your mindset: The application process is long; how did your consultant provide peace of mind?
To be honest, like very very honest, I didn’t really stress about getting offers or having a plan B. Somehow, I just knew AAS would do their job and get me in. Also, if one school doesn’t offer, another one will.

除了申請學校，AAS 在 Visa、住宿及機票等安排上有幫輕負擔嗎？Beyond school applications, did AAS ease your burden in arrangements like Visas, accommodation, and flights?
AAS definitely helped with visas, accommodation, and plane tickets. Organising these things is not easy, so having agents sort things out for you is honestly so much better. Everything is clear. Step-by-step and BOOM, it’s done, and next thing you know you’re on the plane to
your new school.

對於下一屆準備去海外升學的同學，你有什麼建議？What advice or suggestions would you give to the next generation of students preparing for overseas study?
Hey guys, whether you are panicking because you’re anxious to live alone in a foreign
country or you’re beyond excited and ready to leave and be free, here are some things I
learnt and some advice for you:
1) You have three jobs: study, stay healthy, and stay sane. (Do it well.)
2) Pro tips: Study when it is study time, get a gym membership, be mindful of what they
feed you (if it’s too oily/salty whatever, speak up. Tell the kitchen staff.)
3) Advice on living abroad: With great independence, comes great stress and
loneliness. Make real friends, speak up to bullying, maintain eye contact, don’t try to
act cool, speak when spoken to, and let’s be real, take care of your money and how
you spend it.
4) Learn to tolerate: There are always some things you can’t control, like who lives next
to you and how loud and annoying they can be. Trust me, there are some very
obnoxious people who just don’t care about others. So, your job is to get some noise
cancelling headphones and read a book and ignore.
5) Which brings me to my next point: Keep refining your English skills. You are in an
English-speaking country, with people who use slangs and write essays in formal
English. Read books and make friends with the locals. Make sure you make your
way to being fluent.
6) Last but not least, enjoy your time there. Times flies by extremely fast with all the
deadlines and events. Take a while to be present, go for every opportunity, and don’t
take life too seriously.
