"I find Griffith University presents a holistic global approach in that it encompasses both domestic and international students within pretty much every degree."

The highlight of my Griffith experience so far has been the study abroad opportunities that Griffith has. The university has networks in so many countries that you're practically spoilt for choice as to where you want to temporarily study. It's such a good experience, and Griffith has really nailed all aspects of getting students to have a broad network of opportunities.

Griffith offers many support services that have helped me adjust to university life. The provided orientation activities helped me learn my way around the university, and student admin were very helpful with fixing any enrolment issues that I had.

Griffith's support services have made university the best time of my life. I love getting involved with the university community through programs such as Griffith Mates and Orientation activities, and I have met so many amazing people throughout my time here. Staff are friendly and will always try their best to answer any questions you may have.

What I enjoy most about living in Queensland, Australia is the amazing weather and beautiful beaches. There is always something to do and you never get bored over the weekends. There is also a strong fitness and sports culture with people exercising everyday. The food is also affordable and delicious.

The highlight of my Griffith experience so far is definitely my exchange to Plymouth University. This program allowed for me to cross the globe and complete courses I wouldn't have had access to otherwise. In conjunction with this, I have been able to create an international professional network with industry professionals.

As a Griffith Mate, I love helping students settle in to life in Australia and university. The Mates are such a wonderful, tight-knit family and are always a friendly face on campus. Not only is it an amazing opportunity to make new friends, but the experiences and leadership skills I have gained are immensely useful in improving my employability.

"Queensland has the right mix of great weather, nature at your doorstep and city life without having the hustle and bustle of Sydney or Melbourne.
