Hi there,
My name is Jelisa. I started studying a Bachelor of Child, Youth and Family Practice on the Gold Coast campus at Griffith University in 2022.
As a member of the Griffith Mates, I shared my travel and arrival journey on Instagram and I’ve written about my international arrivals experience below for anyone deciding to study at Griffith.
I hope you enjoy!
Day 1: Departing Singapore
I packed quite early, so I was ready to fly that night and took a nap before I left for the airport (I knew I’d need to keep my energy up!). I flew from Singapore to Brisbane, and then took a bus to the Gold Coast.
The university offers free airport pickup, so I booked that in before I left.
