Griffith appears to be shaking off its reputation as a third-choice university, drawing students with a more down-to-earth values-based approach.
Overall, Griffith came in 22nd, two places above Queensland University of Technology. The other major Brisbane university, the University of Queensland, was at the top of the overall list, with a slightly poorer student satisfaction ranking but high results for research and global reputation.
“I felt like Griffith focused on their values a lot more, as opposed to the others, and what they offered their students rather than prestige,” she said.“I wasn’t even considering coming to Griffith at all, to be honest, until I came to the open day. I guess I was prejudiced about their reputation.”Advertisement
“Every university had their sandstone and prestigious buildings in their advertisements, but now when you look at the marketing, it’s how the student benefits from the product,” she said. “We’re seeing a lot of stories of students and alumni instead of ‘look at us in our ivory tower’. I’ve noticed a real switch.”“My initial choice was QUT, but then when I researched it more, I actually liked the look of Griffith better,” he said.

Under the LNP’s $1.4 billion Brisbane Metro plan, the 60 three-car mega buses will collect passengers from suburban hubs - such as this one at University of Queensland -and carry them through the CBD on a five-minute frequency.At the 19 Brisbane Metro hubs, the suburban buses return to extra suburban bus services, while the passengers hop on to Metro rapid transit buses to travel every five minutes to the CBD
