This document lists 5 reasons why one will enjoy university more than high school: 1) University allows one to choose their own career path and be who they are meant to be, unlike high school. 2) At university, one will not be alone and their voice will count as there are many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students. 3) Class schedules are more flexible than high school, with most classes only 2 hours and tutorials 1 hour, allowing time for other activities.

1. 5 reasons you’ll
enjoy your time at
uni more than you did
high school
I hated high school, I’m gonna hate uni!
University is not like high school. It’s better. It is a lot
more fun and best of all, you get to choose your career
at the end. You can be who you’re meant to be - not
just another student waiting for that clock to tick to
3:00pm and the school bell to ring. There is no racing
home from classes to do homework. Instead, have a
coffee, a yarn and a study session with the USQ Mob.
Welcome to the beginning of your future, it’s going to
be deadly!

You won’t be alone, your voice will count
There are a lot of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people
studying at USQ and you’ll be part of the mob! We’re all
working towards our future and you’ll find a lot of like-minded
study friends.
Classes aren’t 9am – 5pm
Most classes only last 2 hours and tutorials usually last an hour.
This gives you time to focus on your future and get to know
your classmates! There are no bells, roll calls or uniforms either.
Your class schedule won’t be Monday to Friday
Depending on what you decide to study, you might only have
to come to university 2 or 3 days a week. The other days can
be used for study, spending time with family and friends, or
doing something that you love like painting, singing or dancing,
even a part-time job.
Asking questions isn’t just ok, it’s encouraged!
Your classes are interactive and asking questions in class can
lead to deadly conversations. Unlike high school where you just
had to take notes and listen to what was being said, debating
an idea in your uni class is welcomed!
Your assignments will be different
But what if I told you that you’d actually enjoy writing them
and often have to cut back on your word count, rather than
struggle to fill the pages?
