I really enjoy the Flinders University environment and community. The campus features a lot of native Australian vegetation and the lake is a great place to sit down and relax between classes. Every member of staff has been accommodating and helpful in my studies and the facilities are fantastic. I thoroughly enjoy my degree and find each of the topics challenging and engaging.
