Being accepted at UQ was a blessing, and I’m happy to call myself a Bulldog. Both the academic program and the opportunity for involvement in a wide range of extracurricular activities are excellent. The housing system at UQ is one of its many distinctive features. You are chosen at random to a college as a freshman, where you will live in dorms for four years. During your four years there, that college is your home. Every college has its own traditions and customs. The social dynamics and academic environment are highly distinctive.
