I chose UQ because I had heard so many good things about Brisbane! It has a warmer climate than Sydney or Melbourne, and is so close to the Gold and Sunshine Coasts.

UQ has enabled me to take journalism courses, which my host university does not have, and I am hoping to come back for my Masters next year.

I am taking Gothic Literature at the moment, which is unlike any other English class I have ever taken. We are reading everything from Dracula to Twilight. The themes are really dark and mysterious. There is a lot of student participation and discussion in the tutorial, which definitely makes the course more interesting!

I lived at Union College last semester, which was the best decision! I absolutely loved it. I instantly made friends, and there were always social events going on.
