Hi, my name is Hui Kwan Lo (Barbie) and I studied Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Honours) at The University of Queensland.
What are some of your experiences with the Brisbane community?
I think Brisbane is a vibrant and friendly community with a lot of festivals and other events going on. Especially at South Bank, where there are fireworks each year for the Brisbane Festival. I love the markets in Brisbane as well. Just grab some food and listen to the music, or sometimes there's a chance to see some artistic performances.
What is the best thing about your program at UQ?
The best thing is that we have a relatively small group of students in our program and we have a lot of practicals, so we have the chance to discuss and ask our tutors and lecturers questions.
What advice would you give people from other countries about studying at UQ?
I think studying at UQ is a great opportunity for students. It opens the option for you to do research and meet many other people. The library resources are great, and you can book a room to study if you need your own quiet space.
What have you been able to achieve as a result of studying at UQ?
I have made a lot of friends. I also know more about physiotherapy and my career opportunities.
I also learned to be more open. I was quite shy and afraid to ask people for help if I didn’t know them. But now I know that it is OK to ask. If you need something, just ask and there is nothing to lose.
Do you want to know more about studying and life at UQ in Australia?
