University is a big decision. At anywhere from $20,000 -$100,000 University is the 3rd largest purchase we make in our life. It influences the future direction of our life. Our occupation, happiness, health and wealth.
Despite the impact it has on our life, a staggering 1 in 5 university students will quit their course in the first year due to dissatisfaction or unhappiness.
Uni Australia began out of a simple question – why do 20% of students quit their course in the first year? From talking with university students around Australia, we discovered that the key was a lack of education. While students could visit university open days, talk to career advisors, family, friends & education agencies it often only gave them a partial picture of what a course and university were actually like.
We decided to change this by contacting tens of thousands of past and present university students to discover their authentic and candid thoughts in relation to their university and course. Using this research, we now provide 35,000+ university student reviews, ratings, and rankings on all Australian universities, a national course directory for university courses, and an exclusive range of Lonely Planet style guidebooks & articles designed to help students transition to life at university.
Uni Australia has been created to help you make a more informed decision about which course and university best suits you. From which classes to take, how much to pay for accommodation, and where the best computers are, Uni Australia shows you what University in Australia is really like!
