W H A T O U R S T U D E N T S S AY I came to Bond University to improve my English so that it could help me with my career back in Brazil. Bond is a great university. It has a very modern and beautiful campus with great facilities.

I love the library, but the Sports Centre is my favourite. Every day when I wake up I feel so happy because I’m going to spend my day in a beautiful place with great people. It’s a life experience I will never forget.

ANASTACIIA KONOVALOLA, RUSSIA ENGLISH

lola onova K a i taci Anas I chose to study English at Bond University College because of the location, Gold Coast climate and access to Bond University facilities. The teaching and learning environment is very good. All of the teachers are kind and if I didn’t understand something, they would always take the time to explain further.

As a rugby player, I also wanted to study English somewhere that I could still train and keep up my fitness regime. My favourite classes at the gym were boxing and TRX, and having access to the Olympic-sized swimming pool. Some of my highlights while studying here have been the student BBQ every Wednesday, excursions to the beach and making good friends with classmates from all over the world.

Bond University is one of a kind and leaves a strong impression. I am graduating in a few months and I can look back and say that my Bond University journey was more than I could have dreamed of. I met amazing people from around the world and I had the opportunity to learn from passionate teachers who motivated me and pushed me to do my best. I have made friends for life and attended fascinating classes. I have already recommended Bond to some of my friends, and they have recently graduated from Bond University College also. They have benefitted from the extra guidance and are now doing well in their bachelor degrees.
