Read on! 1/9 “…love being rural in first year” Small classes (just under 100 for the cohort but 20-40 for tutorials), very welcoming and friendly staff and student community, love being rural in first year, lots of hands-on learning (clinical skills, placement at the hospital, and cadaver labs). Being in Churchill for first year has been a really calm place to study but still has a solid library, study spaces, and gym facilities. Unfortunately, there's the expectation that students travel to Melbourne 1-3 times per month...

Being in Churchill for first year has been a really calm place to study but still has a solid library, study spaces, and gym facilities. Unfortunately, there’s the expectation that students travel to Melbourne 1-3 times per month for the cadaver session. The program is fast-paced and stressful because it’s just one year of class-based learning before three years on placement, but we get enough holiday time. They picked me up right from the airport when I landed, kept me updated with Covid info, have beautiful campuses, really tight knit student groups.
