There's University of Queensland (UQ), Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Griffith University, Bond University and then others such as University of Sunshine Coast, University of Southern Queensland etc, etc. What are you hoping to study? I can then find out what the entry level was for last year. Tell me course and faculty.

Thank-you for replying, I am referring to Queensland University in Brisbane (the St Lucia Campus) The course she wants to do is Journalism, (Bach, I think). this is the course she has just been accepted at Chester University in England.

I am really apprensive about her declining this place (she's got 14 days to accept it) even though she has to, to come with us.
I could not even contenplate moving to Australia, without one of my children, and the feeling is mutual with her.

I just wish that there was some way, that we could know that there was a High probability that she would get accepted. with the information we put on the application form, and the knowledge that she has now gained her A level results.
We did not apply for her government Grant in this country last month, as were sure that the Visa would come through, which it did. We made the decision to pay for her fees in Australia, from the sale of our house, a huge committment I know, but am aware even though we have a 136 PR visa, we would not be eligible for government loans.

This is really bearing down on my shoulders really hard, as it is her life, that I may be screwing up, if I don't get it right, or prepare her with the accurate information.

Really could do with some imput, from you all.
