Socialising, Studying and Stressing… Oh My! – University Life Photo 3

Socialising, Studying and Stressing… Oh My!

University life is not all about study; socialising is also very high on the priority list when it comes to students’ every day lives. Socialising may very well end up being the highlight of a very boring day of remembering, revising, studying and stressing continuously.

This image was taken in the food court at lunchtime when people were occupying the entirety of the area. It demonstrates that students enjoy meeting up with friends and socialising to take a well-deserved break from the ever-demanding duty of study. As students occupy themselves with social activities, the fear of the unknown is put on hold.

It may be of interest to take a look at this website for a recount of the food currently available at the University of Wollongong.

Student Interaction Equals Simpler University Life – Marlee Silva and Courtney Allan working on their assignment

Students participating in the Journalism degree at the University of Wollongong this semester have worked proficiently and diligently together to produce the best possible outcome for their assignments.  This demonstrates the wonderful, kind-hearted nature of University of Wollongong students. As depicted in this image of two students assisting each other, relationships are a vital aspect of University life; contacts are everything and make University life significantly easier. If you have allies within the University, the fear of the unknown becomes less prominent and achievements are much simpler to reach.

This image depicts fellow students Marlee Silva and Courtney Allan as they work on their journalism assignment together.  To view the finalised portrait of Courtney, please vist Marlee’s blog post.

Bouncing Away From the Hustle and Bustle – University Life Photo 1

Bouncing Away From the Hustle and Bustle

Collaboration, respect and fun; these are the three main ingredients for a friendly, low-key game of successful sport at the University of Wollongong. The University is known for its extensive diversity of resources, catering for a range of different students with varying interests and needs.

This image was taken as a group of students spent their lunch break participating in an amateur game of basketball to alleviate the everyday stresses of lectures, tutorials and study. The game was played in a nice, secluded area of the University, away from the movement of students rushing to and from their classes. “We just love this part of the Uni, it’s so far away from the rest of the campus that nobody comes here,” one participant revealed.  The students in this image are partaking in a journey of the unknown, but they are making the most of their student years by allowing time for themselves to have fun.
