Watch this before you study at The University of Queensland? (University of Queensland Review)

[@carinacarina7575]

I have been to Australia for 6 years (before the Covid-19). Which started in UQ in 2017. UQ is the most beautiful uni in Qld, it both did very well on the academic and wonderful environment, and that's why I choose UQ. Thank you for your video that I look back on my uni life, and I am so happy to see the new updates on campus.

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Glad to hear it!

I've watched your videos and enrolled in a UQ postgrad programme last year. Unfortunatelly, I haven't been able to be on the campus yet, but hope I can be there next semester! I'm quite satisfied with what the uni offers and wanted to see the campus more and this time this video has it all! Thanks always for making and uploading lovely informative videos🥰🥰

Thanks for the great video. Currently trying to decide between UQ and Oxford so it was great to get some info and a bit of a look round the campus.

Glad to hear it Allie. I studied in Oxford some years ago. Very different experience to Queensland. People are more relaxed in Queensland and the weather is MUCH better. But the history and academics at Oxford are top notch!

Hi!! Have you ever been to Gatton campus (UQ)? If not, would you mind visiting and making a video or is this not on your list? Thanks a lot:)

Not yet! I need to go out to USQ again, and Gatton is on the way. So yes, I'll be heading there sooner rather than later!

[@Likkivi]

Hi Rob I have previously spent 2 semesters in Australia during undergrad, and am considering a graduate diploma as I can get some financial aid - and lack some IT skills to advance into the roles in the software industry I work in. I know UQ is comprehensive and there are other universities with a more distinct technology focus like Curtin, UniSA, and QUT where they have GDIP in IT options. But this time I want to try a Go8 and Brisbane is my top choice. UQ offers more course variety in their IT program aswell. 1: Do you think a GDIP in IT would not be a worthy investment? I am not looking to compete CompSci graduates but want grow more knowledgeable in a commercial role. 2. Should I toss away the more sentimental aspect of trying a Go8 environment even though IT is not necessarily their main discipline? Brisbane is my preferred city and also has part time options to work. Thanks for your work

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Sorry, totally missed this question. This all depends on your priorities. IT skills (particularly in emerging disciplines like AI and cybersecurity) will alsways be good choices. I love Brisbane as a student city, so reckon UQ is a good option.

[@Likkivi]

@@ChoosingYourUni Thanks for your input :) I might search for a job in Australia first and after moving there further studies so I don't move for studying alone

[@nuruljannah1936]

Thank you for making this video! I really enjoy it. May I ask, for computer science courses, which Unis is better between ANU and UQ? I’m really looking forward to these two unis but still can’t decide yet.

Which university are you studying at now?

[@nurulsolehah6801]

Hi Rob! Thanks a bunch for the videos! I wanted to ask, where'd be the best place to stay (Toowong, etc.) if my campus would be in St Lucia? I'd be starting my undergrad there in July hopefully. Looking for accommodation😆

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Yeah Toowong is a good option. The other option if you can find a place reasonably priced is West End or Dutton Park so you can walk across the bridge to the uni.

[@Kelly-tr6jf]

Thank you for making a video about UQ! May I ask, if I want to study physiotherapy, which university, UQ (in Brisbane) or UniSA (in Adelaide), do you think is better in terms of the allied health course, facilities, and the learning environment?

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Ah that's a tricky one. Both unis have good allied health programs - UQ has a better campus life imo (physio is at City East at UniSA, which is more or less just a building - not the awesome huge campus that UQ has) but UniSA is right in the heart of Adelaide. If it were me, based on my interests and preferences, I'd probably go to UQ if I could. I love Brisbane as a city (though Adelaide is great too).

[@declan3038]

Hey mate love your videos. Was wondering if a choosing medical school series would ever be on the cards?

[@BakdauletEnglish]

Is it possible for a student to work part time to cover his living expenses, accomodation and others while studying here at the University of Queensland?

[@ChoosingYourUni]

I guess it depends on what you're studying and how much effort that will take for you. Brisbane definitely has a better cost of living than Sydney and Melbourne, where balancing study and part time work is getting harder.

[@BakdauletEnglish]

@ChoosingYourUni thank you so much 😊

[@ncsio4146]

Thank you for your content, really insightful. May I ask, for MS in Mechanical Engineering, what university would you recommend? I'm thinking of FedUni and Flinders

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Really depends on what you’re looking for from the experience but I like Flinders’ industry and innovation area at Tonsley. Great approach to engineering. Fed Uni is nice for a real Australian on-campus experience (though I like Flinders’ campus too).

[@pamoooz]

Hi ! I've been having a hard time choosing between UQ or UTS to study computer science, which one do you recommend Rob ? and why ? also do you think a degree from one uni is better than the other when it comes to job opportunities ?

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Good question - two quite different unis and programs that have their unique strengths. I'd look that one up on our AI-powered Choosing Your Uni platform (choosingyouruni.com) - it'll be able to provide some more specific guidance on your exact plans and on the exact degrees you're looking at.

[@fatihanajmayustisia1258]

Hi, Rocky! Why don't you start to compare cities too since unis in Oz are everywhere? Like to connect the student life in specific city for example Brisbane, Canbera, Sydney, Adelaide, Victoria, etc. I guess this might be so helpful for international students to understand the quality of life they'll live in later on.

Hello, would you please recommend some on budget (Cheaper), universities which is best for Masters in education or Early childhood education? I saw these universities but those are really in remote areas. TIA ☺️

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Regional unis will always be cheaper. Tbh there are also serious upsides of being in the smaller communities, like closer connection with your lecturers and easier opportunities to get placements.

[@leightonpittman]

I'm from the U.S. and I've become very interested in going to Uni in Australia, UQ being at the top of my list so far. The main differences I don't understand are 1)How do the colleges work? I see that you can apply to specific housing called colleges at UQ and they have their own websites, I don't really get what they are for or if they are the equivalent to dorms in the America. 2) Do most people live on/near campus like in america?

Since I am more used to the urban life. Thank you so much.

[@ChoosingYourUni]

These are all excellent universities and are similar in that they are all high-ranking, research intensive institutions. All have excellent courses, facilities and student support. Probably the biggest difference is between the three cities, Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne - Brisbane the most affordable city (and the most liveable, in my personal view). Sydney and Melbourne much larger and home to more work opportunities.
