They offer the same courses, and have similar services. What we at XL Education find spectacular is how much Griffith actually cares about it’s students. They excel in student support and have a variety of university and student run student support programs to help you settle in, and meet new people. They invest heavily in these programs, because, really, they want to invest in you.
So, at this point you’re probably thinking, amazing university, great prices and an even better location. What’s the catch?
