Mt Gravatt insider

The great thing about Mt Gravatt campus is there's always heaps of parking, as well as awesome public transport options. Even though we love our gorgeous view of the forest from the top of the mountain, it's a steep walk, so pro tip - catch the intercampus bus from the station to hitch a free ride!

First thing I love to do on campus is grab a hot cup of coffee - or an iced latte on those summer days. Head over to building M28 and visit our friends at Mana coffee for a great brew and a sandwich.

My favourite places to hang on campus between classes are the grass lawn near M06 (just to soak in the natural surrounds) or the Green Room in M07 to spend time working on projects with friends.

When push comes to shove and I've got to get the work done, I like to head over to the Library, where I can always find a quiet spot or, later in the day, the 24-hour study lab in M24, the Psychology building.

We're so lucky at Mt Gravatt to have awesome sports facilities, including a tennis courts and a beautiful pool to cool off during summer. There's heaps of recreational sports teams running too, a great way to get fit, enjoy the outdoors and make new friends on campus.

One of the things I love most about Mt Gravatt campus is the stunning natural environment we're so lucky to study in. Any time I want to impress friends visiting the campus, I take them for a 15-minute forest walk to the Lovewell Café at the Mt Gravatt lookout.

I love that in just a couple of minutes of walking through the Toohey Forest, I feel a million miles away from the city. If you're feeling a bit more adventurous and want to go on a longer walk (and spot some Koalas!) there's also a network of beautiful walking tracks surrounding our campus.
