The dramatic up-lighting emphasises the red stain glass which looks just like hell's hearth and dark shadows play dramatically across the window panes. By day it is just an educational institution, home to emerging filmmakers, game designers, animators and scriptwriters. The Griffith Film School boasts impressive facilities with its computer labs, editing facilities and film studios. Its new 92-seat cinema features a five metre screen, digital projection and Dolby 7.1 surround sound. It is a learning facility as well as being available to hire for private screening functions. Some of Australia's most respected filmmakers are amongst their Alumni including Peter and Michael Spierig, documentary filmmaker Peter Hegedus, scriptwriter Alice Addison and director Anthony Mullins. So if you fancy a career in filmmaking, you can't go wrong with a degree from this worthy institution.

As a third year film student I have had the privilege of meeting industry professionals and award winning creatives, I have learned the latest techniques on the most up to date software, I have had a chance to use some of the best and most recent cameras in the field and have had a blast doing it. The teaching staff are friendly and truly care about each student and each project as if it was their own. As a soon-to-be graduate I feel confident that I can leave this school with the skills I need and the knowledge to get me to where I want to go.

During semester, the QUT Creative Industries Precinct becomes my second home. I'm sure in its time…read moreit has witnessed some amazing creativity, teamwork and tears, and that's just from me. I find it a fantastic place to study, and (as geeky as this sounds) hang out. The facilities at Z Block (as it's lovingly referred to by people who spend too much time there) are second to none. There are numerous computer labs, the studio for the fashion students as well as editing suites for Film & Television studies. There's also opportunity to hire spaces for exhibitions, fashion shows and events. I've been to a launch party and a fashion graduate show in the facilities in the precinct, and they were fantastic venues with plenty of space. I love studying at QUT, and I especially love being a Creative Industries student so I can utilise the world class facilities on offer at the Creative Industries Precinct on Musk Avenue. If you're toying with the idea of studying in a creative stream at QUT, know that the spaces available are incredible.

Duchesne College, more fondly known as Duch, is an all girls Catholic College. You don't have to be…read moreCatholic to go here but faith does play a role in this on campus accommodation. Snuggled between the UQ Lakes and the Brisbane River, Duchesne is in a lovely and quiet area of the campus. You just have a short stroll through the serene UQ Lakes to get to class. While I did not actually spend my college years at Duch, I did stay there during the holidays once with my sister. We were looking for cheap accommodation and Duch had some rooms available. The room was very comfortable with a single bed, desk, chair, lamp and plenty of room to move. Each morning I was woken up to a Duch college girl practicing cello which made the experience all the move lovely.

I finished high school a nervous wreck, I wasn't sure about uni and didn't want to spend the equivalent of a home loan trying to find out if it was right for me. So I headed to the Southbank campus, I can't get over just how friendly and understanding the staff members are here. I was lead through the process and enrolled in a day. The fee's seem really reasonable for what you are getting back in return and its one of the best hands on technical colleges in Brisbane. The universities are also taking note, and so partnerships are flourishing between the two. This is good news for us, because getting a university pathway after a Tafe vocation is now easier than ever. So if you're young or old, just finished high school or need a new career I recommend you head to their website and check out their courses. You never know what you'll find.

Brisbane Institute of Art is a not-for-profit community college with classes designed to suit all…read moreskill levels and lifestyles. They offer short courses over a weekend for people interested in learning the foundations of jewellery making, painting, ceramic or photography. There are also regular evening classes throughout the semester for those who prefer a structured framework to develop their skills. I've previously studied painting and ceramics here and found the tutors knowledgeable and the classes friendly. However, I think these classes are tailored towards hobbyists. I was frustrated with the emphasis placed on creativity over technical skills. Having also done short painting and sculpting courses at Southbank Tafe and Queensland College of Arts, I think a short course with QCA Enterprise or Southbank Tafe would suit people wishing to pursue their art seriously and the prices would be comparable as well. NB: Some subjects at Brisbane Institute of Art can count towards a Certificate in Art or a Diploma in Art but check with staff for clarification. NB: Opening hours refer to the office hours. BIA is open on weekends and evenings for students attending classes

Truly a 0 star uni.. This university had the lowest quality education I've ever come across…read more(nursing/paramed) and having been to 2 different universities for a bachelor and a masters, I know what good education looks like, and this is 100% not it! .. Extremely rude teachers who don't give the slightest shit.. During covid, they'd smash in over 1,300 students in a class that's supposed to be no more than 300.. The teachers were tapped out, didn't care and provided incredibly low quality education, especially for what they charge. Don't study here!! Trust me.. You'll save yourself tens of thousands in poor quality education and shitty experiences.. A 0 star university..

QUT stands for Queensland University of Technology, this campus in particular is in Kelvin Grove. Built on top of what is known as education hill, QUT Kelvin Grove is home to the study areas of Creative Industry, Education, and Health. The campus is ultra modern in look and has a couple of awards under its belt. It has plenty of facilities some include, a bar, library, pools, parking, 24 hour Internet lounges, a theatre, multimedia video and music recording facilities. The campus has been designed around the principles of the urban village. From the top of the hill to the bottom students, business professionals, innovative institutes, cafés, parks and restaurants coexist side by side. There is range of quality eateries and shops, business is completely dictated by the university semester though. As an education facility, the lecturers and spaces for learning are of the highest standard and students who attend QUT are well looked after. There is also affordable student accommodation for those who need it.

One of a number of residential colleges available near the University of Queensland St Lucia…read moreCampus, King's college is alright. Mainly because it has a pool. Being female, I did not actually go to this all boy's college but I did date a guy from here for a while and spent enough nights sleeping over that the security guard started to know me. King's boys get a bit of a bad wrap around the uni, mainly for being a bunch of rowdy lads. They certainly are that but there are also plenty of nice guys there. The rooms at King's are ok and range from a small little room with nothing but a single bed, desk and wardrobe to ones that have en-suites and can fit double beds. The buildings are all pretty tall and nice. This one time a friend of mine had had a few too many beverages and decided to climb the building spiderman style. He fell from the second story into the concrete car park. Luckily he had no more than a few scratches that I helped patch up with a bandage or two. Oh the good old days. College is not college without some crazy stories. Overall, the time spent at King's was pretty relaxed, especially when we were just chilling in the pool or walking along the river. The College is right on the Brisbane River, a short walk from the university and an even shorter walk from Hawken Village shops. I have all too many memories of this place but you haven't experienced college properly if you leave without a single story.

Having spent a number of years at King's and having friends at other colleges for comparison I can…read morehonestly say it would be the college I'd send my son(s) to. It has a relaxed yet socially disciplined atmosphere (i.e. you can do what you want just don't be a dick about it and annoy others). Rooms are larger than that at other colleges with the option in later years to live in wings that resemble proper apartments to ease out of the dormitory life style. King's has a number of well respected "old boys" whom lived there during their time at university, among which are Australian sports stars, major businessmen and entrepreneurs. Although it has dominated in the Inter-College Sports for a number of years (even holding the record for consecutive wins of 8 years in a row) King's has in recent years proved its grit in the cultural realm as well - most notably winning top prize at the ICC One Act Play by performing "The Vagina Monologues" with an all-male cast. For those questioning whether an all-male college is good or not, consider my train of thought, being surrounded by guys doesn't mean there won't be women gracing the halls... because that happens... every day, not having them around 24/7 means you can relax and not have to worry about keeping up appearances which ultimately makes uni life easier. Also not having a local female population means more college events organised with the other all-female colleges which there are more of than all-male, so meeting some lovely ladies is a lot easier than you think. TLDR; All-male doesn't mean no women, in fact it's the opposite. The best food out of all colleges. Great admin staff (the headmaster (G Eddy at the time of writing) is a legend). It's a well-known sporting college so you basically go in with an already established notoriety (great for the lovely ladies). Rooms are big.
