So far, I’ve had a great time at ANU. The staff and lecturers are quite knowledgeable, and they have set up numerous support structures to aid in learning both on-campus and online. The social part of education might be challenging while living so far from campus, but there are numerous organizations and societies to join, and some even provide online social events. Although there are a variety of facilities, some of the older buildings are frequently claustrophobic and technologically unprepared for particular activities. Nevertheless, ANU is constantly enhancing and increasing its facilities. Overall, ANU is a fantastic institution, and I can’t wait to return there next semester.

There are many complications with online exams, as the method itself adds extra obstacles that increase stress in comparison to in-person exams, eg scanning work. Technology issues also hinder many students often results in deferred exams which are set often at the end of the semester or start of the next year or semester, creating extra stress. I would suggest making differed exams closer to the original exam date where possible.

I have really enjoyed my time at ANU so far. The lecturers and staff have amazing expertise, and they have put many support systems in place to help in both online and on-campus learning. Living so far away from campus does have its challenges, especially when it comes to the social aspect of school, but there are many clubs and societies to join, and some do have online social events. The facilities are varied, with some of the older buildings often being cramped and technologically ill-equipped for certain activities, but ANU is constantly expanding and improving its facilities. Overall, ANU is a great school and I am excited to go back next semester.
