5 reasons for uni students to stay regional

There are heaps of reasons for to stay and study in the Snowy Monaro:  

1. Support network

When students stay in their hometowns, they stay close to their support network. Your friends and family contribute to your quality of life and overall happiness. If you are happy where you are, you can enjoy the benefits of staying close to those who mean the most to you AND and you can still access higher education. When life’s unexpected challenges come your way, it helps to have the right people around you!

2. Country lifestyle

Sure, things move a little slower in the country – but that is part of the charm. Enjoy easy parking, great coffee without the queues, friendly community events and affordable accommodation! 

3. A life of adventure

No doubt when you travel around our amazing area you can find amazing trails and places to adventure! You might often find you take this for granted, which is easy to do when you have been somewhere your whole life. But getting out and exploring nature is one of life’s true pleasures! There is nothing like a bit of fresh air.
