During high school, I was always told university was scary, but after completing my first semester, it wasn’t scary at all. The support you receive is amazing, and I’ve made friends I can call family now.

I chose 91Ïã½¶app because I was inspired by the Indigenous Chancellor, Professor Tom Calma, at the time. My experience as a student transferring from another university and student life at UC was positive. They were always very accommodating to me and my family.
