Brisbane has attracted residents and visitors from all over the world, and above all it is a warm city in its climate, its residents and their hospitality. Founded in 1910, the University of Queensland is one of Australia's premier higher education institutions. UQ's main campus is about four miles from downtown Brisbane. USC Kinesiology majors may be interested in taking courses in UQ's Department of Human Movement Studies. UQ is also an excellent location for the study of marine sciences, marine biology, conservation biology, and environmental science.
Most students share houses or apartments or commute from home.
