Forget the shots of those old sandstone buildings at places like the University of Sydney. Move in, Bond University’s majestic arch. Your insta feed will soon be filled with Bond shots. Fun fact: The arch is actually the biggest in the Southern Hemisphere.
Who wants a boring old bell when you can have Waltzing Matilda playing at 3pm everyday?
Who doesn’t love free food? Bondies certainly do and that’s why we get free lunch at Wednesday by the Water. Just remember to have your phone handy for entertainment while you wait in the obscenely long line…
Want to calm that assignment stress by hugging puppies? Bond has you covered!
Seriously though, this is one of the things that drew me to Bond. Small class sizes make tutorial discussion actually possible and you get to know your teachers.

You meet people from literally everywhere. Imagine all those travel opportunities!
Whether it’s Gender Bender, Frat Party or Barnyard, Thursday night Dons has got you covered for your Bachelor in Drinking.
There are events all the time. Mainly speakers events and many of these are free (or only require a donation). 101 in how to lure Bondies to events: offer free food and drinks. They mostly deliver on this front.
Bond knows how to put on a show and this includes the spectacular fireworks displays. We joke we know where our fees are going to… But seriously these are amazing.

Exam and study week = free food everywhere!

Albeit pricey, these are actually pretty decent.
