I don’t think I could get anywhere else. Which is good
because when I graduate from Griffith, I plan to go backto Thailand, so that I can help my family business.”

If you are intending to organise long-term off-campus
accommodation once you arrive in Queensland, it is vitally
important that you organise temporary accommodation for yourfirst few days or weeks in Queensland, as it is important that you

Homestay accommodation gives you the opportunity to live with
an Australian family while you study. It is a great way to develop
your English language skills and experience life in Australia, andoffers catered and self-catered options. Homestay is available tostudents at all Griffith campuses. Some homestay providers offer
independent living options such as a granny flat.

“I studied conflict and how professionals, specificallymediators, need to be able to develop rapport, build trust,and display professionalism to be effective. My researchargued that each of these three primarily rely on nonverbal
communication: body movement, environmental factors, touch,tone, and appearance. My PhD work further suggests that if
what I found helps mediators during conflicts, the findings
can also assist others working in crisis, disputes, and conflict
as well. My PhD work at Griffith created the foundation of theresearch and work I continue to do today.”
