• What are you studying?

  Bachelor of Business

• Why did you choose to study in Brisbane?

  I am from a small town so I’ve always wanted to move away to a big city, Brisbane is perfect as it is still close to home.

• What’s your favourite thing about being a student?

  My favourite thing about being a student is the different lifestyle. You have more independence both inside and out of uni, and attending uni in the city there is always something to do when you’re not studying.

• What’s your favourite thing to do when you’re not studying?

  When I’m not studying I love going into the city, finding new places to eat, things to do and of course shopping. I also enjoy quiet days at home watching Netflix or just hanging out with my roommates.

• What’s your favourite thing about Iglu?

  My favourite thing about Iglu is the people, I have made some of my best friends through Iglu. Whether you’re having a good, bad or somewhere in between day there is always someone around that you can talk to or hang out with.

• Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

  I’m not sure but I hope that whatever it is, I am happy, healthy and enjoying life.

• What words of wisdom would you pass on to future Iglu residents?

  Don’t be shy, talk to people! Easier said then done I know, but start by attending the events there are always plenty of different people to talk to. Also don’t hide away in your room talk to your roommates, you never know they might end up becoming your best friends.
