What has the Country University Centre (CUC) meant to you?

December 3, 2021 By Maggi Barnard

Maigan Robertson: It has really changed my life as it let me stay home while studying, and I’m able to work fulltime. I was at boarding school and when I came home after finishing school I reconnected with friends and was not keen to go away again to university in Wollongong. Through the CUC I am able to do two subjects per semester in Agri business, and I’m here most nights till midnight. The fast wifi and all the support from Jacob and the librarians are just amazing.

 

Michael Anderson: It has made such a big difference. The CUC is very important in my life as I have four kids at home and I’m not able to study there. I am able to fit in my study around my schedules as the centre is always open. I am studying for a Bachelors of Arts majoring in Community Development.
