“When my dad and aunty were younger, they both attended College at UQ with my aunty residing at Women’s and they found it to be one of the most enjoyable experiences of their lives. I was keen to have the same experience so became an associate member in my first year at university. I enjoyed Women’s immensely and become a resident this year even though my family lives a 20 minute drive away. I love every minute of College! The community is so supportive and it helps me balance out my sport and studies.” – Zoe Garraway
At Women’s we encourage you to become involved and make the most of your College experience while studying at university.
