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.

I chose Griffith University because it allowed me to do two degrees at once very easily. Everyone was very helpful in admissions and answered my questions thoroughly and on time. Although Griffith is a big university the contact with staff and admin is very accessible. Being a transfer student Griffith has allowed me to transfer credits easily as well!

I chose to study at Griffith University because of its outstanding reputation as one of the leading universities for health and medical research. Being around some of the greatest scientists in Australia is inspiring.

I chose to study at Griffith University in Queensland because it has great weather. My friends studied here already, and recommended me. Griffith’s support services helped me at the start when I wasn’t used to how university worked especially in a totally new country like Australia.

The global research reputation and academic staff at Griffith are why I chose to study in Brisbane. A highlight of studying at Griffith University has been making many good international and domestic friends, particularly by being a Brisbane International Student Ambassador in 2016.

I chose to study at Griffith University because it is one of the high ranked universities of the world and of Australia, which provides quality education and a very friendly environment to the students

I have started my Griffith University journey from Griffith College. I came there straight from high school and they gave me the foundation of my Griffith University program. I believe that after Griffith College I was more familiar with the Australian education system, and I felt more confident and prepared to enter the university life at Griffith.

''I am 17 years old. I live with my father and my grandparents. My mom left when I was 6 months old and I have never had any contact with her of even seen a picture of her. My father is a motorbike taxi driver. Sadly, he is a violent man and regularly beats me with whatever he can find. After my grandmother got sick, we had to sell the house to pay for her medical costs. My family now lives at an ancestral temple. Every summer vacation before the new school year starts, I work as a waiter or as a security guard to earn some money to help pay the remaining debt. Deep down in my heart, I always treasure my good fortune when I see some people who do not even have a roof to stay out of the hot sun or out of rain. They do not even have the means to manage full board. I came to KOTO with the hope of a brighter future for myself and my family".

The highlight of my experience at Griffith University was getting an Honours scholarship and being able to work on research exploring children's empathy through augmented reality.

"I am 19 years old. I was born in a family of 7 people: my grandparents, my parents, my 2 siblings and me. My father works as a construction worker. He is a violent man and addicted to alcohol. My mom does the hired jobs to get an unstable income and she burnt almost of that in to the gamble. My elder brother indulges in pleasure. When seeing my family's situation, I think that, there is no way out for me to be released from it but education. And KOTO has really given me that precious chance".

"The most enjoyable memory in the English Language Bridging Course would be the experience of cultural exchange. We come from different countries, we help each other and support each other, sharing life experiences."

I have always wanted to get out of my comfort zone and explore the world and the different cultures it has to offer. That was the main reason why I decided to come to Australia. Griffith University has been known to have the best mix of all cultures combined, which is why I decided to join Griffith.

Griffith's support services made my transition to Australia and its culture very smooth as help was always available as soon as I needed it. I clearly remember being worried about the different education style in Australia, especially referencing, but so many resources were available to guide me through it.
I chose to study at Griffith because it has industry-based programs with a lot of opportunities to gain practical experience during the degree.

Griffith has an incredible criminology department with high profile individuals to learn from. The academic staff have provided me with wonderful support to help me through my studies.

"Curtin was my dream university since I passed my undergraduate degree. I got to know from an education fair that Curtin is ranked on the top 1% of the world's universities, which attracted me a lot. There, the English Language Bridging Course gave me an opportunity to not only improve myself on academic skills, but also it taught me how to carry out multiple tasks at a time, handling stressful situations. If you're thinking about a career in Curtin University, you are leading yourself along the right path."

As a Griffith Mate, I was able to host and organise events where people from all over the world could come together. Seeing people having fun and new friendship being established brings me tremendous joy.

The University of New England is home to students from around the world, many of them with incredible stories about what led them to study in New South Wales.

At first, I really couldn't adapt to such a strange and stressful learning model as I had to complete some quizzes and difficult essays within the specified time. After completing these assignments, I had to review the lecture notes to get prepared for the final exam. Sometimes unprecedented learning patterns and language barriers made me feel helpless and stressful. But after some time, I found the shortcomings of my study and gradually found a learning method that was suitable for me.
