“I have found studying at UQ
exceeded my expectations. From
modern technology, high-capacity
libraries, and friendly teaching staff
to a gorgeous riverside, green areas
and lakes, there is a lot here to use
and enjoy. People from different
nationalities share their knowledge
and experiences. When I arrived
I was concerned about feeling
homesick but the atmosphere was
so warm and friendly that very soon
I found myself among collectives of
international friends with wonderful
backgrounds.”
