CQ University REVIEW [Rockhampton Campus - An Unbiased Review by Choosing Your Uni]

- Is this Australia's most beautiful open-space campus?
It's got to be close!
Welcome to CQ University at Rockhampton. I'm stoked to be back here for the first time in about 15 years and I've gotta say... the campus is looking amazing!
From the sub-tropical gardens and pleasant heat of the day, to the magnificent murals and distant hills, CQ's campus is really nice!
This is also a university that punches well above its weight - even though the uni's headquarters are here in Rockhampton, Queensland, it has a bigger "footprint" than any other uni in the country!
There are campuses and study centres in all the major capitals and plenty of regional areas too. With online learning baked into its DNA, CQ has been one of the unis that has thrived in the challenging circumstances of 2020.
Other highlights?
Fantastic graduate outcomes (well above average starting salaries and employment rates) are definitely a big one.
And for international students hoping to stay in Australia, it has that critical "regional" classification.
Thanks for joining me for a walk around campus and hey! Do you have questions?

Had my bachelor there back in 2008 when it was called Central Queensland University.
The accomodation buildings called Capricornia college has remained nearly the same.
This video recalls me tons of good memories.
Oneday I really hope to visit Rocky again.

Good onya! Thanks for sharing!
Good to see you back on campus ✌🏻. Waiting for UOW campus tour
Yep, UoW is coming but it’ll be a bit different to the other reviews to start with. Stay tuned!
i've been watching your videos since the beginning of this year, and i'm enjoying all of them so much. its really helping for anyone who've planned to continue their study to Aussy. Hopefully, you'll be keeping up in producing such a useful video on RUclips.
Glad to hear it Arfian. Thanks for watching! Is there anything else you'd like to see or to know about?
Great video and analysis Rob. I’m proud to be a CQUni Mackay student! My lecturers are also fantastic, inspiring and have done a brilliant job of blending text-book education with real-world experiences and practical application. This might be one of the reasons why employability in CQUni is so high.
Fantastic mate. I caught up with Dom in Mackay - sorry to have missed you! I’ll catch you next time we pass through.
😂 lol
@@ChoosingYourUni delivering wrong info is not a good citizenship.
You are such a positive and cheerful person ❤️❤️ I just love watching videos.
I'm choosing a perfect university for me to study in australia and your reviews help me alot😊.
God bless you❤️
Thanks mate 🙌
Have you seen my vlog too? I’m currently travelling around Australia and am posting vids from all over the country.
Here’s the latest one - would love to have you join this adventure! ruclips.net/video/pr19fdl_h4Y/видео.html
@@ChoosingYourUni sure:)
🙏🙌
Thank you so much for the insightful video, I am studying abroad starting in July at CQU in Rockhampton, and some of the student reviews online made me very anxious, but now I am excited again!
Study Abroad or Exchange outside a big Australian city?
University looks so amazing... looking forward to come soon😍
👍👍👍
Seems good in theory having TAFE merged into uni and having campuses where you can study from anywhere. Wish some of the other unis would adopt more student friendly measures like these. When I did my masters at USyd they didn't even offer online or evening classes for most units, yet they know a majority of masters students are working, made life more difficult. If I could study online and from campuses almost anywhere I'd be stoked!
Definitely a plus of CQU 👍
Nice to see you back on this series Rob!
Thanks Apollo!
I’ve got some cool stuff brewing for 2021 - stay tuned!
You should do a top 10 ‘most beautiful Australian Uni campuses’ video!
Ha ha - funny you say that because it’s in production!
Thanks mate! Video is GOLD, I miss CQU Rocky everyday. This video just takes me back. Thanks
Welcome mate. What did you study there? I really loved the campus!
@@ChoosingYourUni I did Bachelors in IT, lived in this town for like 11 years. For anyone who's reading this "This is the BEST CQU campus, plus life is easy in this town, I mean not so expensive
for student life"
I got an offer letter for CQU Rockhampton campus. I really want to know about how are job opportunities? Because as an international student I need to pay uni fees, bills, rent, etc. and how can we find accommodation there ?
CQ has good student accommodation on campus. That is the best option to begin with imo because the rental market is quite tight in Rockhampton. At time of writing there is tonnes of work everywhere in Australia.
is it difficult to get part jobs for international students in Rockhampton?
Visited CQuni for the first time as an interstate student for my on campus learning week, last week, and I tend to agree with you.. The campus has an extremely relaxed vibe. I love the rainforesty surroundings when walking throughout the main buildings. For accommodation I stayed in the Jardine building which is basic, but pretty good, and the breakfasts and dinners provided in the dining hall were also quite decent! Teachers were easy to get along with and knew their stuff, and overall I had a great week!
Greta to hear this experience, Angus. Thanks a lot for sharing 👍👍
what were the breaksfasts and dinners like? Could you tell me what they were? Thank you!!
@@JaeyoungBakim curious too! Let me know if you ever find out. Very high chance ill be there for med next year 😂
Thank you so much fpr this video! I'm moving from 7 hours away in feb and the first time i see the campus will be when i go, so its noce to see and hear a little bit more about it.
Glad to help! Where are you moving from? Are you going to stay on campus?
@@ChoosingYourUni I'm moving from little old Bribie Island and I'll be staying on campus. Not sure if I'm more excited or nervous. And because I'm not comfortable flying, I've got a lovely 7 hour train ride 😂
Good for you Izzy. That should be a nice train trip. Good luck getting started!
Weekend getaway to yeppoon and great kepple Island is a good option during summer!
Yeah, great suggestion!
Just book early - when we were in Rocky every Fri/Sat night was booked solid for 2 months ahead! It’s clearly too nice out there!
@@ChoosingYourUni wow its worth going for a day trip too unless that was booked too
Actually, we had to leave Rockhampton quickly as we're now heading over to Western Australia - I'll have a vlog out about that decision in a few weeks!
I couldn't find a video for Carles Sturt University, haven't been yet?
I’ve visited before but haven’t yet done a video. As soon as Covid restrictions lift it is on my list!
@@ChoosingYourUni We all hope that is soon
Indeed!!
Hi mate, I am overseas student who just got an offer to study in Cq uni In rockhampton campus. So, just want to know that it is good place to live & what about working opportunities there. Is it beneficial for me to study in Rockhampton campus? Pls get back to me:)
I really like the Rockhampton campus. It's a chilled out vibe and there are kangaroos there amongst the trees. The university is a very important part of the local community so there are strong linkages and many opportunities for students. The summers are pretty hot but the rest of the year it is perfect weather!
I saw a lot of bad reviews on their online studies, looking at doing psychology degree, any honest advice? I see a lot of bad reviews for most of programs offered online, is it just people who didn't have their way whining
There is one review site I was looking at recently that seems to be 90% negativity. Not just for this uni but most unis.
And it’s almost completely useless.
Let’s face it - studying online isn’t great regardless of the uni, full stop. The current government data has shown student satisfaction gets smashed at many unis around the country.
Can I ask why you’re looking at online specifically?

@@ChoosingYourUni I tried responding to you on your Facebook messenger , the reason I am looking online is I'm having some health issues restricting me from travelling.
I’m not on Messenger often but will get back to you there
I'm thinking about study accounting and finance in Australia. Money is pretty important while i prefer decent big cities. Any recommendation ? (Griffith is on my mind atm and also South Australia)
Griffith and UniSa would be good choices for this.
Love the video! Could you do the best universities in Australia to study abroad? (I live in America)
Great idea! Yes, I’ll do that.
The university seems nice but what are the job opportunities as an international students during their study period how we pay our bills and uni tuition fees!! How about job opportunities in this area
Rockhampton is booming at the moment and unemployment in Australia is at historical lows, so finding part time work shouldn't be too much of a problem right now.
Hey Rob, love the videos, keep up the good work. I'm a mature age student (31) and have been offered a place at CQ Uni in Cairns, to study Paramedic Science. I currently live in Vic and moving to far north QLD would be an amazing adventure. Would you recommend studying here? I can't find a lot of information about the Cairns campus, as it's quite small and relatively new.
Hi Andrew,
Good on you mate. Cairns would be a lovely place to live for awhile!
The paramedic program at CQU is good. The “campus” in Cairns is really just a building downtown but it’s pretty new so the facilities should be good. I didn’t go in there when I was in Cairns but did go to the front door (didn’t include the clip in this vid since it wasn’t that exciting).
I think CQ punches well above it’s weight. The great thing about paramedicine is that there is work all over the country. CQ’s National presence would be an advantage in that regard imo
Awesome, thanks for the reply. Im looking forward to watching more of your reviews 👍
👍
I just got an offer to study here half an hour ago! I got in for psychological science, this may be a dumb question but I'm not sure how uni works with things like this but you have any info on class sizes or how the lecturers are? are you able to have 1-1 meeting with the professor if you don't understand something. any info you have would be great thank you.
Hey congratulations Levi!
Those are great questions too. Can you PM me on IG or via FB - both @alifethattravels. It’ll be faster to chat there.
I'm a lecturer at CQUni and can tell you that 1 on 1 discussions with your lecturer are absolutely possible and are quite common. The psychology lecturers are really friendly and supportive.
Thanks Lisa!
I’ve just filmed a whole video on that exact topic and make the point that closer contact with teachers is more likely at smaller unis and the regional unis than the big metros. But it all depends on course and student proactivity too!
Horrible place to study.
I leave comments like this if you can provide more details on your experience so that people can judge whether or not your experience is what they might experience.
