Student Experience at City Campus

“

The best thing about Flinders being in the city is the ease of convenience for people that don't live south, that live east. It will cut down travel time. All the industry partners and connections that we’d meet either at networking events or on campus, you'll actually be able to see them more in the city.

So my favourite thing about the city is honestly just the atmosphere and the amount of development that's currently going on. Adelaide is quickly moving from this old country town to this hustling, bustling metropolis. Businesses are moving in their food, places like cafes, bars and also a lot of different opportunities for different industries, especially in the defence and engineering space.

The best thing about Flinders being in the city is that it provides me with more accessibility of our new study spaces, the ability to do different activities in the city and then maybe go study, do some shopping, or go have a picnic, or go for a walk. And having that freedom of just everything being in the city. I think being centralized here is really awesome. We are also so close to the space industry, east of North Terrace we have Lot Fourteen and the space companies there. Being able to be this close to such a progressive industry is really amazing.
