Not for everyone, admittedly, but going to ACU has been the best decision I have made with my education.
The campuses are great - small, friendly and you actually get to know people *gasp!* than become a number in a crowd. I strongly suggest you visit us on Open Day to get a good feel for the campus and talk to the students and staff.
On campus, the SCSA organises sporting events, and the AUGs (Australian University Games) is a popular choice for the "sporties". Come along to Open Day and speak to an SCSA rep about it!
