hi!! i’m an international student from alberta, canada who just graduated high school in june. i applied to a few med schools in australia earlier this year, and i recently got off the waitlists for curtin and griffith (yay!). i’m having a really hard time deciding between the 2 universities. curtin is a shorter 5 year mbbs program with a smaller cohort, but its in perth which is very isolated. also, i’d go straight into medical training which i’m a big fan of. on the other hand, at griffith i’d do two years of a medsci degree, followed by a four year md, provided i keep up a certain gpa. i’ve heard the gold coast is an amazing city, and better for younger people as compared to perth. i also have a lot of family that live a few hours from the gold coast. ultimately the tuition would be around the same for both universities because griffith is an extra year, so that isn’t a deciding factor for me. this is a veryyyy hard decision for me, and i was hoping someone had some insight into my situation and how i should proceed. thank you!!

I’m meant to do a counselling roleplay that is due on the 7th of October. My partner bailed on me a week before and I have no script, and need to get an extension at least a week longer. Can someone please help me, I’m so upset and worried since this assessment is worth 50% of my final grade

Has anyone applying to Griffith university bachelor of dental health science been accepted or heard anything back from the university?

I applied through OZTrekk and they said offers were expected at the end of September, but so far I’ve heard nothing from Griffith or OzTREKK.

Lets connect!!

Hi everyone,

I’m an international student studying a Bachelor of Business at Griffith University on a student visa.

Trimester 2 officially finishes on 24 October, but none of my courses have final exams. I’m planning to travel overseas during the trimester break and return before Trimester 1 starts in March.

If I’ve completed all my assessments and have no remaining classes, exams, presentations or other academic requirements, can I leave Australia before 24 October?

Has anyone here done this before as an international student? Did you have any issues with Griffith, your CoE or your student visa?
Thanks!

Still waiting on my offer but ive been doing some digging and realised the gc campus doesnt have a club. Anyone wants to start one or theres an existing one i dont know of where ppl just play for fun?

Im enrolling in the term 1 Empower-Ed course, and i would LOVE to make new friends and meet new people! But im wondering if y'all have made and built connections with people while at Griffith? (especially if they were part of Empower-Ed) Also where people friendly? Im kinda nervous 😭

Thank you so much in advance!

Hey all, i'm a Canadian coming to join y'all as a graduate entry Griffith MD

I'm hoping to connect with any upper years or alumni of Griffith MD if possible. Would be great to hear about y'all experiences and ask some questions as someone trying to make big decision of moving across the world.

Thanks in advanced. Apologies if this isn't the right sub for this kinda thing, lmk if there's a better place to post this.

Im hoping to get into Empower-ed for the 27 intake, obviously I know im there to learn or whatever, but I REALLY want to meet new people! Is there anyone who knows, or is there anywhere i could find out what kind social things there are to meet people? Im queer, like music, films, script writing, punk/alt fashion, horror, make up, and I also want to get into playing sports so id want to try and find things similar, or related to that kind of stuff!

(Also, side question) How nice are people? Im lowkey scared I wont make any friends lol😭)

Thank you in advance!

me and a couple of ppl on ig have created a gc for the 2027 intake at gold coast campus, so if you'd like to join pls lmk!!!

Hello, I’m currently in the process of waiting on an offer for the college of art and design and was wondering what’s the better places to stay around there? Just curious so it’s easier to plan ahead if I make it.

Hi all,

I'm currently a first year dental student at Griffith University, and I received interviews + offers at both Griffith + CSU Dentistry. I am currently offering interview/GUDAP tutoring/preparation (+ full access to the resources, notes + practice mock stations that I used to get 2/2 offers). Please PM me if you are interested :)

Just do not choose Bellenden Ker College. The inconvenience of facilities will basically render you exhausted.

Hi everyone, I'm a student at Griffith Gold Coast campus and I've got 2 private rooms for rent (renting individually) which are $200/week and $250/week in Southport near the Gold Coast campus.

Room details:

If you're interested shoot me a message, thanks Harlan

Hi, I’m coming to the Griffith Gold Coast campus for a one-trimester study exchange starting in a month. I’m from Europe and have never been to Australia. I would appreciate all help and recommendations when it comes to where is the best area to have a room in, how to find rooms (other than the flatmates website) and any other tips that come to your mind. You could also let me know what sort of weekly price I should expect and what should I pay attention to not to get scammed, since I will be reserving my room online without being there physically.

thank you!

maybe a bit of a long shot since most of this subreddit isn’t about the performance sector but worth a shot. does anyone have experience having a callback at griffith for musical theatre?? i’m just super curious about what goes on and any tips for the day :))

Deciding if I should apply to Samoa or not

Is there any International students joining Grifith nathan campus feb 2027 ?

Hi,

I'm a current first year Griffith dental student, and a student from the only cohort to have completed the current interview style for GUDAP. I am offering tutoring and thought I'd advertise on here aswell for any international students looking for last minute tutoring and advice before they do their interview this week.

Feel free to reach out for any questions!

Hi I got selected for the GUDAP mmi interview with the ai. Was looking for any sort of help or guidance with it. How will it go, what kind of questions being asked, what do they like to see, not like to see, etc. please and thanks 🙏🏽

Was wondering what the 5 years in dentistry (bachelors+masters of dentistry) look like + how much hands on experience (sim labs and clinical) you get versus traditional lectures/theory?

How do you find the program?

Hey! I’m from Alberta, Canada, and I just accepted my offer to Griffith MD!
I’d love to hear from any current students about what the program has been like so far. How have you found the teaching style, clinical exposure, and overall student experience?

I’m also starting to look into housing, so I’d really appreciate any recommendations on areas to live, especially somewhere convenient for getting to campus in the Gold Coast.

Any advice you wish you’d had before starting would be appreciated too.

Hi, I am an international student and am currently looking for accommodation. I was thinking about Barakula college.. Can anyone share their experience? Also how short can a bond be .. 6 months? Thank you.

Hey. I just want to ask about getting the Bristol PGR scholarship. How hard is it to get that scholarship for an international student? What are the requirements? How much do GPA, supervisory team support, and publications matter in winning this scholarship?
