Universities in Australia for nursing?
Hey guys, I'm from Canada! Planning to do my nursing degree in Australia! I'm having a hard time deciding what school to go to..I want to be able to live on campus, have enjoyable friendly campus life with sports and clubs, as well getting the best education I can receive. Any advice or thoughts would be greatly appreciated! :) Ps I've been given an offer from uws and have just applied to uq and cqu!

I go to Murdoch University in Perth, WA. Can do nursing there, can live on campus and everyone is really nice. Lots of clubs and activities.Perth is a great place to live and very nice weather. Check out the Murdoch website: www.murdoch.edu.au Click on future students and will give you loads of info.

I've heard Queensland university is awesome, so if you get in it'd be a good option. Buuuuut;; uQueensland is viewed as the better of the two universities, however if you study and ace your units that's more important than the university you went to. So it comes down to where you want to live, my friends think Queensland is boring, and NSW - Sydney is ~fun...it's got heaps of crap that keep you entertained. But yeah, really you need to look into the two cities. (: - I'm from sydney, and i used to hate on the weather, now it's ok, - I find there are heaps of awesome people here, then there are shit ones. - Sydney hasn't got many natural disasters, unlike Queensland.. - UWS is pretty crowded (i've been there), if you meet good people, you'll do awesome, if you don't you'll hate your life (i've met heaps of good ones, then there are the bitchy ones.. ) - lecturers are nice in uws, they're helpful. apparently first year is easy (my friend did nursing there), then second year is all memorise this learn that..so serious! at uws, i think the 'clubs' are shit .. soz, only being honest. it's easy to pass units, the lecturers tend to be helpful when you ask them shit lol. if you speak to people in your tutorials (lectures are too packed, and heaps of people only speak to those they do know), you'll make HEAPS of friends. also, i tend to talk to random strangers, and apparently that means we're friends.. so hey, talk to randoms! :P OHH and advice, uni food is HORRIBLE. Make sure when you get here you know your way around, so you don't have to go through with that shit..or befriend people who you can go eat with. i go with my friends and it's way cheaper and nicer than uni food :) living on campus... i don't know, i've heard it's cheaper to live close to uni but not on campus, so if you're here for the whole degree just live on campus for a semester or year, then see if you can get better housing. good luck! and hope you get into the university you like
