One of my favourite things about studying at Griffith University is the wonderful international atmosphere you find on campus. It is very welcoming for an international student. I was also thrilled to be awarded a Scholarship which has helped me on my academic journey. I have found the support services to be very informative about my study needs as well as opportunities available to students on campus.
