Welcome to Surviving Law @ QUT

Welcome to this blog, Surviving Law @ QUT.

This blog will be an online journal of student experiences. A team bloggers will post regular updates to keep us informed about their life as first year law students at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT). Here you can find information and images about the day-to-day reality of being a law student at QUT.

You’re also welcome add comments to the various posts. You can use ‘comments’ to ask questions of the bloggers or to tell us about your own similar – or different – experiences.

Our student bloggers have free rein to describe their experiences in their own authentic voices, so the posts are not moderated for grammar, spelling, or general content. However we will keep an eye out in case there are any particularly inappropriate comments and moderate them as soon as we can. If an entry is ever edited, we will say so in the entry.

Keep in mind that our focus for this blog is on the authentic student experience of university life, rather than a forum for discussion of other topics. It’s not about selling the university experience, but about letting the readers know what life as a law student is really like, as experienced by a bunch of real live first year students.

Please let us know if you wish to comment on anything on this site.

Thanks for your interest!

Finally, I should add that the inspiration for this blog comes from the very successful University of Melbourne first year blog, First_Year@UniMelb and I thank the The First_Year@UniMelb Team for their generous support and assistance in setting up this project at QUT.
