- Supportive and approachable professionals who delivered content really well and guided me through out time.
- Good campus facilities and resources for study
- Practical learning that helped to build real skills
Dislikes
- The fee structure was uneven, and overall costs felt too high
- No placement or job-support opportunities
- Limited support in areas like placement or career guidance.
Campus Life
- Flinders has a few campuses, like Bedford Park, Victoria Square, which is a city campus, and Tonsley, where I studied for two years. I mostly studied at Tonsley, which has very modern facilities and a nice environment for IT students. But my personal favorite campus was Bedford Park, surrounded by nature and up above in the hills, but a bit far to be honest.
- The university has many clubs and student events happening throughout the year, also celebrating diversity and many other festivals and events, extracurricular activities, one-day trips, personal growth seminars, student union, and you will always get necessary support. All campuses are facilitated with up-to-date infrastructures, modern labs, workshops, personal libraries, and modern resources for personalized learning, theaters, and auditoriums. These can be found in all universities here.
Accommodation
- I did not personally search for accommodation, as I was saying to my brother, so I chose off-campus as it comes with flexibility, while on campus is relatively costly, but good fun with fellows, as you get to know different people with different backgrounds, and you personally grow in the same environment. The accommodation process starts with a referral first. If you get a referral, there are more chances that you‘ll get reliable accommodation easily.
- In other cases, you need to look for agencies, Facebook marketing, and social groups where they do ads. Quickly get you through the housing price on campus will cost you 400 a week, which mostly covers everything except meals, and off-campus may vary, but on average, 400 to 600 fortnight, depending on your lifestyle. Yet again, it’s just rent. Popular locations are around the city area, as living in the city is not pocket-friendly.
Likes
- Curriculum is highly advanced and enables you to think critically.
- Lush green campus spread across hilly mountain area and view of the ocean
- Online library resources and standard library in campus.
Dislikes
- As the campus is spread wide, students might encounter difficulty in getting to classroom on time, specially if you are not good at physical activity get prepared to get your leg muscle toned.
- While the university website is amazing, it might take time to get used to.
- The university has strict policy against AI and plagiarism, so international students need to be acquainted with proper resource referencing, which I feel can be tough at the beginning.
Campus Life
- Bedford Campus (Main Campus)—12 km from Adelaide's City centre
- Tonsley Campus Near main campus connected by campus shuttle
- City Campus—At the heart of Adelaide, an adjacent building to the Adelaide railway station.
- Northern Territory campuses for health and research
- All the campuses are equipped with a library, recreational facilities, student hubs and food joints. During induction, students can avail themselves of a tour of the entire city and historical locations. Career week, sports events and academic conferences are regular occurrences.
Accommodation
- I had preselected my accommodation prior to landing in Adelaide in Scape, student accommodation. It was suggested by the IDP counsellors. It was a bit nerve-wracking because of my schedule of flying.
- I booked in 2 weeks prior to landing and I had to pay extra. The room was very small with a bunk bed, shared bathroom and a small kitchen place. Later I discovered that rooms can be availed through facebook groups as well. But beware of scammers! Do not pay until an agreement is made!

Accommodation
The university has its own student accommodation in the campus with single rooms and shared accommodation. It comes with a common dining room, kitchenettes with a shared oven, microwave, fridge and freezer, laundry and drying area, computer lab, small library/study room, fully equipped music room, sports court. The cost is quite expensive - AUD 358-398 per week with a advance deposit of AUD 756
As I aspire to become a doctor in the near future, I had to do a 3 year undergraduate course before actually going into a medical school. Flinders University offered me the course that I wished for and also had a 25% reservation for their undergraduates in their medical school
Best college of nursing program in the state and one of the leading universities in Australia/the world. It is also close to home (only 15-minute drive) which makes it easier to still live at home and study.
Accommodation
I don't think that there is enough campus accommodation as I have had to move back home with my Dad as there isn't enough affordable accommodation within the area. I think there should be more share houses or units.
It was my second choice my first being Uni Adelaide. I'm glad I went to Flinders University however because I find they have a great community and everyone is very supportive and friendly.
