Moving from the country to the city to attend university is a great experience. It can also be a daunting thought. There are many things to consider. You need to think about whether you will be living on or off-campus, how you can survive financially and how you can balance your study and social activities.

University is different from school and secondary college in a number of ways. There is very little supervision, class sizes are bigger and more study is undertaken in your own time. It will be up to you to ensure that you attend lectures, tutorials and practical classes and that assignments are handed in on time.

Social life at university offers a great variety of options. There are lots of clubs and sporting groups, concerts and movie nights. These provide the opportunity to meet a whole range of interesting people and to make new friends who share common interests. One such club is RUSTICA - the rural health students club at UTAS.
