Meet Sophie
The sense of belonging at UOW is what drew me in. I could clearly envision myself contributing to and growing within such a welcoming and inclusive community. I feel UOW isn’t just a uni it's an environment that culminates every part of student life. Campus life is bustling, there is this energy about it. There is always an event, a society or opportunity for students to engage with one another and the broader university community.
