Campus Life:

There are a lot of clubs, activities, libraries, food sections and even sports in your free time. I would participate in weekly basics with my course.

Hostel:

I choose rental accommodation, which is best and affordable, starting from 550 per month to 1000 depending on the suburbs you reside.

Hostel:

Due to costs and my mother's wishes, I still live with family. We rent a house approximately an hour away from the university campus by train. We chose to live in this area based on my ability to easily get to University, and the affordable housing market. To my knowledge, my University does not provide student accommodation at the campus I attend, but I know other campuses do.

A friend of mine already attended this University and spoke highly of it. Mum wanted to move away from our home town, and the University had a campus in an area we liked. Out of 4-5 Universities, I applied to, this one was my first preference based on the above information, and they accepted me. As it was my first preference, the way the QTAC application system worked meant I only received their offer.

Have a good reputation with employers and the course fee is lesser than the other universities for the same course. Also, situated in the CBD area which is the center of the city and one can get plenty of part-time job opportunities.

Hostel:

There is no on-campus accommodation, therefore, I need to rent elsewhere and it is expensive and hard to manage meaning I have to work a lot. This does at times jeopardize my study although it is necessary and I have learned to manage.

I want a great education to prepare me for my future career. This is the only university that offered my course in Australia without a radiography background and as an undergraduate, which is the reason I applied.

I had always been set on Central Queensland University as it had a great reputation and one of my family members had also attended. CQU was the only university that offered the medical sonography course for undergraduates so I could do the course I wanted without doing radiology first.
