UOW student lifeHey, I'm Anna.
And I'm Jess.
And today we're at the University of Wollongong chatting to some students.
Come on, let's go!
Oh. This way.
Can you tell me what you love about UOW?
It's great! I love all the coffee. I love eating.
I love the overall feel of the campus. I think it's just a great community space.
The feel of campus. Everyone's really, really inclusive and lovely.
But everyone's so lovely. I don't think I've ever met a rude person.
So, so many people, new people from all around the world.
I love the ducks.
They have no shortage of ducks at UOW, I can assure you.
You meet tons of people. Like, I'm probably the only person I know from my hometown that's
out here, and I've already made some great friends. It's awesome.
Thank you so much.
Like, even just the fact that, you know, we're chilling kind of in nature the whole time. Like,
you're sitting in reading a book between the gaps that I have between classes.
What's your favourite part of UOW?
Definitely all the streams and ponds. They're beautiful.
And do you think UOW's providing you with the right opportunities?
I think it provides a whole range of opportunities. There's
all different sort of groups you can be a part of.
Some of our lecturers are like, real industry professionals and like, big names in the industry.
What do you love most about university and how's it different to high school?
Uni, you get to like, focus on what you love and like, pursue your interests.
And have you found it's easy to make friends here?
Yeah, I knew I'd make good friends here.
Good people are drawn to Wollongong.
There you have it. Thanks for hanging out with us today.
