Even though I’m an international student, I feel like I have become part of the UQ Gatton Halls family. Everybody is so accommodating and willing to teach me about Australia but just as willing to hear about where I’m from. I’m really glad that I chose to live at Halls and would suggest it to any international student as it is such a great way to meet new people and feel welcome whilst living far away from home!

Three meals a day and all your classes within walking distance is pretty handy, it means you can get more study done instead of travelling, but more importantly, you can sleep in until 10 minutes before your class starts! There is also a huge range of events to get involved with. I have made some great memories here and some even better friends.
