 Coming from such a rural town, Cairns to Brisbane, leaving my friends and family behind to come down and study full time for three years at Griff University. The university actually helped students engage with each other. Meeting new friends, I didn't know I'll meet hips and more people and find friendships which were lost. Another good experience to go overseas, we ventured to Venowatu for two weeks and obviously that was part of our climate change and communications study tour. Next year I'm hoping to go on an Arctic study tour. Heading to another country I didn't think that would be a part of my degree. The staff at Griff University actually want to help out us, the students. One of my radio journalism academics provided me with an email to contact the ABC and now in a couple months time I'm about to start my internship at the ABC in Toowoomba. Griff University has helped me every step of the way and you just have to take that leap.
