Flinders is often much maligned as the forgotten SA uni. Far from the city and not nearly as hip it almost as if it causes the staff and students to work harder to change perception. With two campuses in Bedford Park most students are now situated on the Main campus with the recent addition of the newly built Education building. It has also recently had a multimillion dollar upgrade to the sports facilities and now boasts one of the best views of any uni and cheapest memberships for a fully equipped gym. Degrees ranging in the areas of Education, Humanity, Science, Law and Medicine there is a massive range and great level of experience that goes along with them. Party life dropped off a bit with the closure of the Tav but after a few years is picking back up with the advent of powers that be getting their acts together. read more

Flinders is a good university. Almost everyone is friendly and helpful. The first year science topics are generally well structured however I find the resources at Adelaide University to be outstanding in comparison. The facilities at the uni are nice however look slightly outdated in comparison to Adelaide. Overall, Flinders is a good uni, however Adelaide has a range of extra facilities for science courses, with tuition fees that aren't significantly higher. read more

Ladies, if you're going to study something other than medicine and you're thinking of choosing this campus because you think you'll meet heaps of hot young med students, think again. The doctors are are far far away on the South campus and you'll never ever bump into one. Secondly, do not choose this campus if you don't like hills, or light exercise. Flinders Uni campus is all about the trek, you've got to move, to learn. I personally liked walking around, the only downer being when you have to drive from one campus to another and find another car park. Flinders is the happy medium between Adelaide Uni and Uni SA: it has the thriving arts and humanities community of Adelaide Uni, and the work oriented practical focus of Uni SA. My experience of Flinders Uni was mainly positive: huge library, a growing and thriving social life which was just starting to take off after voluntary student unionism, and an excellent course and instructors. The only shame about Flinders: the location. Lets up and move the whole campus and put in the city can we. I hear there's some space available at Victoria Square. read more

Flinders University offers a lot more learning support than other Universities here in Adelaide and the Professors are always helpful and friendly. I have attended all 3 Universities here in Adelaide and Flinders is the best!! Also provided work experience and the opportunity to study abroad! read more

Lovely university, went to open day with daughter in hand. Well organised, well oiled machine. The lectures I went to with daughter were useful and informative. Plenty of options for food and drink, even found vegan food. You get plenty of exercise here though, no need for the gym. read more

The new hub area is absolutely fantastic! Student clubs and associations, student services, food and study spaces are now all in one brand new building. There's 20+ imacs to use, tables and seats with inbuilt power and usb plugs, couches, study rooms, modern toilets on every level, a media room (with bean bags) and a student kitchen! And it's open 24/7! You just have to scan your ID card outside of business hours. Outside there is a huge tv screen, and tonnes of bean bags (during the week they're very popular!) There are a variety of food venues I've yet to try (I always end up being here at obscure times, and the food venues seem to only be open before 5pm on weekdays). The restaurant looks amazing, floor to ceiling windows overlooking the lake, and the tavern has similar, with a super modern area for students to drink again! The student kitchen is a real highlight, it has 12 microwaves and quite a few toastie machines, as well as a coffee machine, several vending machines and boiling water. Honestly it is so good, it makes me actually want to be at uni studying instead of home! Even at 10pm on a Sunday night at the start of semester, there's heaps of students studying. It's a welcoming environment and I'm sure other students will enjoy it heaps. read more

Love coming here to shoot some hoops and workout. The uni gym has a view overlooking the west area. Fantastic

Best uni in the world, its my second year here and absolutely love it..everything is on one campus and the plaza makes it an even better experience, SILC building is a great place to study and spend spare time with friends, and u can use your study time more wisely with a 4 levels library. read more

flinders beware. worst uni in sa i just finished a 3 year degree straight from high school and found flinders teachers unhelpful uninterested and extremely rude when asked for help and guidance. there is no communication and teachers are just there for the money. grades are based on who you are not the work you hand up. emails sent to teacherd for help go unanswered always, left having to go ask other students for help i struggled on my own for 3 years with no help. i would not recommend flinders when adel uni offers the same thing but with better teachers and outcome. preferred students get attention, time and better treatment than nonprefered students. . read more
