Term one a success for commencing students at Leura Campus
就在10个星期以前，学生还在忙于解封包裹、适应多伦斯大学蓝山国际酒店管理学院（BMIHMS）的生活。眼下，他们正忙着准备初尝考试的压力。首批新生录取开始于1月份，继而发展到鲁拉校区。在这儿，许多学生都来自于其他州或海外。即便对于那些信心满满的学生来说，迎新周以及新入学的几个星期都很艰难。我们想着要接近某些新生，看看他们在蓝山国际酒店管理学院的第一学期感觉怎样。
对于学生们来说，迎新周（O’Week）是在开课前认识同学、熟悉老师和支持人员的最佳时机。在简单了解开始几周内应该学习什么、如何充分利用每一个机会之后，学生们被配备好了制服，领取了课本和iBook。他们已经准备好，要战胜一切。
来自印度的学生Sanila Khosla很快便适应了鲁拉校区的生活。
“迎新周是认识每个人、熟悉校园和周边环境的好机会，我很快就交到了一群贴心的朋友，我们做所有事情都在一起，”她说道。
在迎新周结束、与回归校园的二年级生见过面后，新生们很快适应了校园住宿生活，开始专注于学业。学生们见到了讲师和实训教官，探索起了近在咫尺的知识财富。蓝山国际酒店管理学院的学习方法深受欢迎。
来自墨尔本的Felicity Jensen同学说：
“讲师们都是具有相关经验的业内专家，他们的所授内容总能引发思考并得到正视。”
许多学生都亲身体验到，在学术学习和每学期举办的诸多社交活动之间实现平衡是非常重要的。在学生中，一个恒温的主题是谈论学院热情而又温暖的氛围。
来自新南威尔士（NSW）的学生Lauren Pietsch说：
“这里的校园文化注重友好和睦、团结协作，大家都齐心协力，互帮互助。”
在蓝山国际酒店管理学院学习的一大诱人之处在于其学生群体的文化多元性，学生在这里可以了解彼此的文化、建立持久的联系。对Felicity Jenson来说，如果没有来到蓝山国际酒店管理学院，她绝对不可能拥有一个来自老挝的室友。
许多学生已经在开始考虑开设于本学年第二学期的行业实习机会。Sanila Khosla一直想来澳大利亚，即将到来的实习让她感到很兴奋，她希望在凯恩斯或布里斯班获得一个岗位。
来自新南威尔士的Blake Graham已安排好去国外进行自己的首次行业实习，并且将在第二学期之后前往迪拜。
“一直以来，我都在与职业培训团队进行沟通，规划我的行业实习。眼下我正在四家酒店里做选择，能在迪拜的餐饮行业实习会很酷，”他说。

Term one a success for commencing students at Leura Campus
Students who were busy unpacking their bags 10 weeks ago and adjusting to life at Blue Mountains International Hotel Management School (BMIHMS) at Torrens University are now busy preparing for their first taste of exam pressure. The first intake of students for the year arrived in January, and moved to our Leura Campus – many students relocating from interstate and overseas. Orientation Week and the first few weeks can be tough even for the most confident students. We thought we’d catch up with some of our newest students, and see how they have found their first term with BMIHMS.
O’Week is the best opportunity for students to get to know their classmates and become familiar with their teachers and support staff before classes commence. New students were briefed on what to expect during their first few weeks and how to make the most of every opportunity. Students were fitted with their uniforms and received textbooks and iBooks; ready to conquer whatever was given to them.
“Orientation week was a great opportunity to meet everyone, become familiar with the campus and the local surrounds. I quickly made a really close group of friends – we do everything together now,” she said.
After completing their orientation and meeting returning second year students, new students quickly settled into residential campus life, and began to focus on their studies. Students met their lecturers and practical learning instructors, discovering the wealth of knowledge available at their fingertips. The approach to learning at BMIHMS has been well received.
Felicity Jensen from Melbourne said:
“Because the lecturers are industry professionals, with relevant experience, you really do take on board what they are telling you.”
Many students have learnt firsthand the importance of finding the balance between academic study and the many social activities that are held throughout each term. One theme that is consistent with students is how warm and welcoming BMIHMS is.
Lauren Pietsch from NSW said:
“The school culture is very friendly and collaborative. Everyone works together and helps each other.”
One of the biggest appeals of studying at BMIHMS is the culturally diverse student body. Students learn about the cultures of their classmates and make lasting connections. For Felicity Jenson, having a roommate from Laos is something she would have never had the opportunity to experience if she hadn’t come to BMIHMS.
Many students are already thinking about their Industry Placement scheduled for the second half of the year. Sanila Khosla has always wanted to come to Australia, and is excited about her upcoming industry placement. She is hoping to secure a position in either Cairns or Brisbane.
Blake Graham from NSW has already arranged to travel abroad for his first Industry Placement, and is due to head to Dubai after term two.
“I have been working with the Career Development Team for my first Industry Placement. I am now choosing between four hotels. A Food and Beverage placement in Dubai will be really cool,” he said.
