One of the perks of modern-day living is that we can go anywhere (or nowhere) and still have everything we want within easy reach or even available for delivery – food, wine, groceries, hot men who mow our lawns, strange late-night purchases on Amazon, and now even degrees. It’s truly a blessing.
Gone are the days of having to pack up your life and move cities to study. Back when I was deciding my future over malibu pineapples, your only real option if you wanted choices was to move into a major city.
Location doesn’t really matter anymore. There’s the beauty of online study options for starters, but also the fact regional unis are stepping up their game to match pretty much anything you’ll find in the city. So forget moving across the country/ world just to attend a lecture, here are all the reasons why you should stay put and study:
You can save all the money
Moving is expensive. There are no two ways about it. From finding a new place to live, fitting it out, transporting all your stuff, paying bond, buying books and shopping for that perfect first day of school outfit… if you just, like, don’t move then you don’t have to spend that money. Easy.
You can be flexi
Like a gymnast at the peak of their career, your education can now be super flexible. And whether your thesis is in parallel bars, rings or vault makes no difference. Thanks to institutions like CQUniversity with over 20 locations around the country, as well as top-notch online study options, you can now get your qualifications anywhere, anytime you like. Hell, you can study from your bed if you want. Imagine – a master’s degree straight outta your mattress.
You can keep your job
And your friends, your family, your house, and your life. Forget uprooting your entire existence (and spending copious amounts of money to do so) just to get educated. You can have your cake and eat it too, baby. Or rather, you can have your life and get learned too.
You get more choices
Or should we say, you finally get all the same choices you had before without having to factor in getting your literal move on.
More and more people are choosing regional unis, and with good reason – they have a tonne of sweet courses to pick from. TAFE certificate? Bachelor degree? Masters degree? Even a hot damn PhD? The educational world is your oyster, babycakes.
