ratingOverall experience

my overall experience at uni is a great one. although during semester the hours can get kind of long you are able to study what you are interested in and so the long hours are spent learning about things you enjoy - unlike school where you just have to learn the set subjects. In Australia we have such a great opportunity to learn and study that i think we too often take for granted - we complain about the work load or the tutors or the assignments - but really we should be so grateful that we have this opportunity the knowledgeable tutors and the abilities and resources to be able to complete the workload. once all this is in perspective uni is able to be enjoyed in every aspect - not just the 'fun' parts.

ratingSelection process and gaining admission

I applied for uni using my uai. it was fairly easy to apply and there were so many options to be able to get into uni or study what i wanted even if i didnt get the marks i needed.

ratingFunding and scholarships

there were a few scholarships available but you really need to be on the ball and looking out for them - they wont come to you. otherwise HECS is an easy option and you only have to start paying it back when you work full time and can afford it. otherwise try to find some kind rich relatives or something...

ratingYour study experience

i really enjoy my course. i could choose to study what i enjoy and what im interested in. i really enjoy the geography biology and geology aspects of my course but not so much the chemistry. but that is just my personal preference. the course is really good in that it gives you an overview of all the different areas and topics it covers and then allows you to specify in third year what you like the most.

ratingYour life experience

I live at home and commute to uni. it is a fairly easy drive down the highway from sydney - no traffic and you can go fast!!! wollongong uni is a very aesthetically pleasing uni. there are beautiful grounds and lots of gardens and duckponds. there are nice lawns to sit on and lots of seats and some cafes too. there is a beautiful big library with friendly staff and other great facilities. a 5-10 minute drive down the road is the beach a 10-15 min drive in the other direction is the shops and directly opposite the uni is the gorgeous botanic gardens.

ratingJob prospects

i think my job prospects are definitely higher as a result of my studies. i think there will be so many options i will have a hard time choosing. doing the coarse has opened my eyes to a whole new range of jobs that are out there for me.
