Master of Marine Biology - Batch of 2024
3.4
Great university for international students.
Tips: JCU the multicultural college and is pretty easy-going. Talking to people from many nationalities has been a lovely experience. Studying a degree in marine sciences at JCU gives a lot more advantages as you are right on the GBR. Everyone at JCU is very friendly and that encourages students to ask questions. Most professors are lovely too. I'm quite satisfied with my university with the marine biology master's. Australia is a wonderful country to be in, especially if you love nature - here people love their 5-9s as much as they love their 9-5s.
Likes (Student Life): JCU has a very large student community and is very engaging. There are many events and clubs at uni that students enroll into and are very casual and outgoing. Events are quite regular on campus grounds and are very encouraging for people to meet. I must say the orientation program is at 10 on 10 with making people feel comfortable chatting.
Dislikes (Public transportation): The buses in Townsville are never on time and sometimes don't even arrive. It is quite recommended to have a car or life becomes very difficult. Not all areas of Townsville are connected by bus routes. Cabs are available but are very expensive and sometimes you don't get them. Travelling at night should not be done by bus as it can be pretty weird.
