-"Social side of college and making friends was fantastic. Food was appalling and generally unhealthy. I went to QUT to received no academic support through college. Grace college is very old so all the bathrooms, bedrooms and amenities are very old and had had no renovations since opening when I went there."

-"I attended college in 2014-2015. I believe Grace has done a number of upgrades since then. They have also changed some of the rules around drinking etc."

Comments from Students:

- "Badly administered at the higher levels but a great student club".

- "Loved it, best way to transition from school to uni."

- "John's was fun if you had the money to go, and it was a blast. It was incredibly pretentious at times, where majority of people were incredibly sheltered and had no clue how the average person who wasn't from the Gold Coast or sunny coast lived. All in all great fun but needs more diversity than a bunch of white trusties who's s**t doesn't stink. Great academic support, best of all colleges, food good and there was a great sense of community."
