What Makes the University of Canberra a Great Place to Study? Insights from Gabbi & Lina
From a small town in the Snowy Valleys to the bustling streets of Bangkok, students Gabbi and Lina took very different journeys to arrive at the University of Canberra — but they both found a place they could call home.
In this episode, Rob heads to campus in Canberra to chat with two students — one current, one a recent graduate — about what it’s really like to study at UC. The conversation covers everything from degree choices to dumplings, and from gap years to on-campus jobs.
Some of the highlights include:
- How Gabbi and Lina chose UC — and why it just felt right
- Exploring degrees you may never have heard of, like corporate public communication
- Trial-and-error at uni: why not knowing what you want to study is totally normal
- Lina’s exchange semester in Hong Kong (with funding!) and why it was life-changing
- What it’s like living on campus — from shared spaces to free pasta nights
- Balancing study, life and work — and why working on campus can be a game-changer
- The difference between online and in-person uni life, and how UC handles both
- Why taking a gap year helped both students reset, recharge and find their path
This is one of those conversations that gives you a real feel for life at uni — the doubts, the discoveries, and the small wins that make it all worthwhile. Whether you’re just starting to think about your uni options or already eyeing off courses at UC, this episode offers warmth, clarity and practical advice from students who’ve been there.
