“Flinders is very considerate and anticipates international students’ needs.

They have put services and measures in place to ease the pressure of adjusting to academic life away from home. Students like me are not made to feel excluded, with the addition of prayer rooms, and halal food. These are very valuable and highly convenient additions for me as an international Muslim student.”
