‘My time at CQUniversity was one of the most memorable of my life and the education and social life were life changing experiences and definitely gave me the academic, networking and social skills that have been instrumental in setting me up to have a very interesting and fulfilling career. Many of the friendships made at CQUniversity / Residential College are still active today'.
