Student Stories

I found studying at the University of Adelaide College a beneficial experience in understanding how a university works before commencing university. The way the curriculum is laid out and the teaching style was university oriented, making it easy to anticipate what to expect at university. I gained a tremendous amount of confidence while studying at the College.

I loved how multicultural the College was. I had a great time meeting lots of wonderful people with different backgrounds and learning about their culture. The staff at the College were truly incredible and efficient. The teachers were extremely friendly and patient with everyone. They always found ways to make classes fun, making every course I completed enjoyable.

I chose to study in Adelaide as the University of Adelaide has the best agricultural degree in the southern hemisphere. Adelaide is a great city to study in as it is not too big or too small so it is easy to travel around while still having enough people to make it a vivid city.

Studying at the College was great due to the encouragement and support I received from teachers with my study and life path. The teachers are truly student focused at the College, and their advice could always be trusted. I didn’t find any barriers to communicating with them even though we are from different backgrounds. They were always patient, helpful and encouraging.

I decided to choose the University of Adelaide College due to its amazing study program that prepared me for university entry, and also the convenient location in the city of Adelaide. When I first arrived in Adelaide, I had a hard time trying to adapt because of the different culture and speaking English, but after a month at the College, with the support of the friendly teachers and staff, my English started to improve a lot and I started to enjoy myself. My teachers were wonderful, they were always encouraging and very supportive. They did not hesitate at all to spend time with students in and outside of the classroom, whenever we had difficulty with class work or adapting to a new culture.

The content of the courses at the College taught me things I’d never known. The teachers did a great job of explaining the concepts, which was really helpful. The classes helped me create a strong foundation for university; improvement in my English and confidence in public speaking was a great tool for me in university presentations and class participation.

I learned and enjoyed myself a lot during my year at the College. The knowledge and experiences that I received from the College are still fresh in my memory and will be taken with me as a guide throughout my years at university. The University of Adelaide College has helped me immensely and I’m sure it will be of great help to other students.

One of my favourite moments at the College has been being awarded a certificate for being the top student in GAE which has shown that my communications skills have improved while I have learned a lot outside of the classroom by getting to know people from all over the world. The University of Adelaide College is famous for the quality of education it provides and I chose it because of the  reputation it has. The teachers are kind and understanding and the environment here is ideal for studying and achieving your best. I am looking forward to successfully completing my Foundation Studies Program here at the and then studying at the University of Adelaide.

It was amazing. You could count on personal help from the College team (both admin and teachers) and they always tried their best to use all their resources to help us. For example, they hired an extra tutor for a semester course allowing me to come second highest in the course. I now enjoy my time at the University of Adelaide including my role as President of the Adelaide University Union.
