“I have felt extremely welcomed by Bond from living on campus; its close knit community made it an easy transition for me when I moved from South Australia to the Gold Coast.

A highlight so far has definitely been meeting such a wide range of people from all different types of backgrounds and the social aspect of campus life.”
