Griffith is an attractive study environment for North American students and one in which they generally flourish. Although in many respects it is a large institution, within each campus a real sense of community is established.

Queensland has a perfect climate of mild winters and warm summers; it has beautiful forests and coral reefs; and it is safe and secure with a clean environment. There are many recreational activities in Queensland. At the beaches there is swimming, snorkeling and diving. Brisbane and the Gold Coast offer many markets for browsing and shopping. There are forests for walking and camping, and mountains for climbing.
