Griffith vs JCU Dentistry

• Upvotes

Hey all,

Deciding between JCU Dentistry in Cairns and Griffith Dentistry on the Gold Coast. I'm leaning towards Griffith because of the Gold Coast location, the credit transfer, and just the overall quality of the dental school. But I want to compare how much more it would actually cost before I commit. Would love input from anyone who's studied or lived in either

How do the two compare overall for day-to-day costs? If any current students are living on campus (or nearby), would you be able to share roughly what you pay for rent, food, and general living costs? Just so I can compare the two side by side.

Transport: I know a car is basically needed for JCU dent. Is that also true for Griffith, or can you get by with the light rail/buses since it's a bigger city?

I know living costs will generally be higher at Griffith, but not needing a car there would kind of even things out money-wise. If the total difference ends up being around $40-50k including tuition (since Griffith is $30k more), I'd go with Griffith.

Happy for you to PM me if you'd rather not share numbers publicly. Thanks!

Nathan Campus Student Accommodation:

1 Upvotes

Hi guys, I’m currently about to start my external exams and am looking at moving to one of the available student accommodations in brissy.

I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations alongside some ones to steer clear of. I’m thinking of the 3 room share house option.

I’m looking to do Biomedical Science so if anyone else is looking to go to the accom there next year or is looking to do the course there shoot me a dm so we can connect before we start first year!! :D

I'm a new student doing a bachelor of science in 2027 and majoring in physics/applied maths and have been looking at other university programs and so far they all seem to be more comprehensive in the range of material covered though the classes offered am I right to be worried or am I just overthinking things

Graduate visa

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m currently studying my Master’s at Griffith University Gold Coast campus but living in Brisbane.
To be eligible for the second 485 Graduate Visa, do I need to live in a designated regional area during my studies, or is it enough to move to a regional area when I hold my first 485 visa?
Thanks in advance!

Thoughts on Griffith Go courses?

2 Upvotes

I love the idea of self paced 100% online on demand learning and want to apply to a Griffith Go uni course, although there is little in the way of reviews online. I understand the program is relatively new having only been launched in the last year, but that being said, is anyone currently undertaking a griffith go course and what are your thoughts on it? Any pros/cons?

Accepted to the PhD, but without scholarship (int student)

6 Upvotes

Hi all,

I recently received an offer of admission to a PhD at Griffith, but my scholarship application was unsuccessful in this round. I applied as an international candidate, and I was told the round was highly competitive. I have more than 7 publications in my area and have presented at world congresses in my profession, so I am trying to understand what else could make a difference.

I would love to hear from anyone who has been in a similar situation:

Did you accept a candidature-only offer and apply for scholarships later, or wait?

Are there other funding sources worth looking into (external scholarships, industry or partner funding, fee waivers after securing a stipend)?

Any advice on strengthening a scholarship application for the next round?

Thank you in advance, any advice is very welcome

Hey I’m sick and I have an exam will Griffith accept an updoc medical certificate or a medical certificate from a pharmacy?

Or do I have to get one from a doctor, which I don’t know if I can find one available.
