Goodbye High School, Hello Uni: Have You Listened to Our New Podcast With UNSW Sydney?

Here's everything you need to know about #unilife.

If you are frantically preparing for your Year 12 ATAR exams, you have probably been thinking a whole lot about what you want to do after high school. 

Deciding what you want to do once you graduate can be super tough. Not only do you have to choose what course you'd like to study, but you also need to consider which university is right for you. 

Of course, it can be tricky to imagine what being a student at uni is actually like when you're still in Year 12. 

That's why we've teamed up with UNSW Sydney to bring you a special four-part podcast series called Goodbye High School, Hello Uni.
