Advice on moving to Townsville

JCU Sub seems dead so thought I'd try here as the advice still works.

Hi everyone! Hope this post finds you well, I'd appreciate advice from students or anyone!

I am currently a university student (M 19) living in Sydney and plan on moving to Townsville early 2025, which will be dependant on me receiving an offer to study veterinary science at JCU.

Now 5 years is a long time to be stuck somewhere I have never visited, if anyone has lived here for a sizable period, how do you find Townsville? Is it lively, things to do? My time will be largely be stuck inside, studying but I do appreciate nature, wildlife and the outdoors in general.

I also mainly want some advice from anyone who has had to relocate to Townsville for various reasons. Do you have any recommendations in terms of finding accommodation? (Temporary or long term). Whether that be Uni dorms, share houses etc I'm open to suggestions. JCU is not the only Uni I have applied for but Is probably my first option. The offers for JCU give me very little time to find a place in time (10 days from accepting the offer) , so it will be stressful turnaround.

Living in the same place all my life, I haven't known much different and moving states will be a big change for me. I won't really know where I am or what I am doing, so honestly any advice is much appreciated.

Thanks everyone!

Tutorials for positive psychology masters

I'm a current student at CQU looking to study for the Master of Positive Psychology next year. I'm wondering if the tutorials are compulsory; as I notice from the 2024 timetable, some are on a Thursday night, which I can't do due to work commitments. Are they recorded, or do they have alternative options?

Anyone enrolling for Bachelor of Engineering for 2025?

Hi all, I am a mature aged student looking to get into BE at CQU. Has anyone finished their degree here? What was it like? Anyone enrolling for next term 3 2024?

I currently work in mining and I’m quite keen on getting into engineering! Previously I’ve completed my bachelor of business from JCU. Loved it and in hindsight it was an easy degree.

I’ve spoken to Ben Taylor, the head of engineering. Seems like a great guy to talk to and learn from!

Would love to hear your opinions! Thank you.

Hi there. Which university would be the best option for me as an international student studying Computer Science?

I’m considering QUT, Griffith, WSU, and CQU. Since I’ll be covering my tuition fees myself, affordability is important, but I also want to focus on studying hard in my field (Computer Science). Any advice on which of these universities might offer the best balance of quality education and reasonable costs?

Bachelor of Aviation in CQUni

I'm interested in aviation and am looking for a uni. I found that CQU has aviation programs. (Flight Aviation and Airline and Airport Operations) What is the Airline and Airport Operation program? I think that's not related to flight attendance and ATC. I want to know what I learn, and what kind of job I have after graduation.

Ultrasound Course Advice + Bad Reviews

Hey I'm a year 12 student and I have been looking into Universities to become a sonographer. I found CQU which has a 4 year course AND apparently gives placements too. I haven't been able to find any university like this, especially not in Victoria (near Melbourne). It almost looked too good to be true, however then I checked the reviews and wow... it is horrible. Apparently over 50% fail and placements could be delayed multiple years. What do you think I should do? Does anyone have any first hand experience in this course for CQU (melbourne campus preferably)?

Full / Unconditional Offer??

I received my conditional offer in July (first week), and then I sent the documents to my agent on the first week of August to comply with the requirements. I have not yet received any response from CQU regarding my application, and it's September next week. I am worried if my application is going somewhere or not.

How long did you have to wait for your full or unconditonal offer? 

Any response will be appreciated.

Hi guys, I’m in year 12 at the moment thinking of applying to CQU med program. I was wondering, around about what UCAT score do I need if I am a rural queensland applicant?

How Good is CQU For IT?

Hello, I want to continue doing an IT course after taking a year work break from the Bachelor of IT (Co-Op) course. I would prefer to continue at JCU because all CQU was online it I hated it. But the JCU course only has a 63 ATAR to get in comared to 80 something at CQU. My question is, how much will this matter to employers when I have the degree, and should I therefore consider going to CQU instead.

Hi guys,

So this is regarding qctac. I’m applying for next semester in March and was wondering why qtac didn’t ask for my academic transcript? I’ve done a full year at a QLD Uni with very good results however my atar wasn’t so good a few years back. Do they just have access to my transcript?

Looking for students who can share their experience with the Master of Engineering - Electrical Engineering at Melbourne?

I'm really interested in CQU as I've heard good things from friends and relatives who have been there.

I was looking at their Internship Work Experience module that is available to most other degrees too and want to hear about your experience with this. I am pretty sure the uni sources the placements and this is a big factor in making my decision to study at CQU.

Please share your experiences with the Master of Engineering program at CQU. Would really appreciate your responses

Reviews for CQU

Hey guys, I’ve been having trouble with unis left right and centre, all of them have ended up being terrible so far, or don’t have the course I want.

CQU I’ve heard minimal about, and the reviews online are so mixed it isn’t even funny. What’s YOUR personal experience? Bad? Good? Mix of both?

Online students is it good? Do you get real, actual support? Or have you felt left behind?

Thanks

Study resources

I just got accepted to start my Bachelor of Laws and Bachelor of Business, starting in Term 2 this year. I’m exited but also a tad nervous.

Can anyone who is doing/has done these courses pretty please recommend any resources/websites you wish you’d found sooner while studying?

I am away in the UK representing Aus for 3 weeks at the end of July, and while I plan on studying as much as I can while there, I know it won’t be easy, so my plan is to try and access Moodle as soon as it opens for my subjects to get myself ahead from the start.

I just want to be as prepared as I can be, since I’m a mature age student and feel completely out of my depth here, just running on hope and a lifelong dream.

Thanks in advance!

Bachelor of Sonography at Melbourne Campus

Do people actually graduate from this course?, I heard that it's a trap and they focus on taking your money. I wanna do this course but heard that they intentionally fail you or kick you out of the course before graduation. I genuinely curious to hear from someone who's actually graduate from this university with a bachelor of sonography.

Are there any International students who can share their experience with the Master of Educational Neuroscience program?

Especially those from Canada!

I’m looking into the program and it sounds really great. Can be completed in 1 year if you do it full time, with up to 4 years to finish part time. Fully online so can be done from Canada. Offered 24/7 365. Only around $12k. It sounds almost too good to be true! Can anyone share their experience with this program?

Bachelor of Medical Science (Pathway to Medicine)

Any alumni here? I've just received an offer for the Bundaberg location, and would like to know a bit more

  1. CQU doesn't have student accommodation at Bundaberg, but QU does. Can CQU students stay in that residence?
  2. Campus life. Since it's at a rural location, is it dead or are there active clubs?
  3. The course itself. Are the assignments mainly in groups or individual, are there many hands-on/practical opportunities?

Thank you!

Also if you're a prospective student like me, shoot me a dm (friends yay ?)
