Accommodation
Students need to consider where they will live when they are applying to a university. JCU has an Accommodation Service that can assist with the varied on- and off- campus accommodation options available. And getting in early means students (and often their parents) have the peace of mind of knowing where they will live. On campus applications for 2014 are open now. For more information, click here
