🌟Make the most of every opportunity and put yourself out there. Try new things and make plenty of new friends. 👫
🌟Look for scholarships and financial support. It is out there, you just need to take to the time to research and apply.🎓
🌟Rural and regional students are amazing! And just as capable, intelligent and awesome as city peeps.😎
These are just some of the words of wisdom from our very own students. Just left home to study and feeling a little overwhelmed❓ Read on for more from those in the know - students who have been there.

ARE YOU HEADING TO UNIVERSITY IN 2021?
It’s fun to get caught up in the hype of ‘O Week’ but have you thought about how you want to spend your year? If you have, great – if not, here are our top 8 tips for making the most of it.
1. EXPLORE YOUR NEW HOME 🏘️
Embrace where you’ll be calling home for at least the next three years. Find the best beaches, restaurants, hang-outs and insta-worthy spots – there will be so much to see and to explore.
2. SIGN UP FOR EVERYTHING ✍️
Colour runs, sports, mentoring or that club you find that finally has other people who like the same weird thing you do. Try news things and embrace the freedom to find out who YOU are.
3. FIND YOUR NEW COFFEE PLACE ☕
Coffee, tea, whatever your poison, go on the hunt for your favourite beverage and new chill out sanctuary.
Soon enough they will know your order… and your name.
4. ASK QUESTIONS ❓
Don’t be afraid to ask questions you don’t know the answers to, there are people around to help, and you won’t be the only one figuring out this new life.
5. FIND YOUR HAPPY PLACE 🌈
Find your new campus hangout. Is it outside or inside? Do you like it busy or quiet? Whatever spot or time of day that makes you happy and productive – claim it. Oh, and remember you can have a few favourites.
6. CHOOSE SUBJECTS YOU ENJOY 📚
There’s no point continuing on with something you hate or just don’t get.
There is no set road ahead, you can change your mind if the course you THOUGHT you would love just isn’t you after all.
7. DO THE THINGS YOU LOVE 😍
It can be anything – painting, running, computer games, photography – but take some time to do find and do the things you really love doing. Study is important, but following your hobbies and interests are just as important.
8. BE PREPPED – AND MAKE ROOM FOR DOWNTIME 🔮
Make sure you sleep, study and hand things in on time. But remember, your world won’t end if you decide to have a laugh and chill out. In fact, it’s also pretty important.
