Student Reviews:

- What made you decide to choose JCU?
"The main reason was the great selection of courses in my major, Communications. You can take classes with excellent professors on anything from popular music which is my favorite class, to intercultural communications, to a course on Disney's animated films. The other main reason was for the diversity of the students, who come from so many different countries worldwide."
