“Student Quote: "It was an amazing experience here in Brisbane. I learnt a lot, especially how to live on your own. I also learnt English at Oxford House College with lovely teachers and nice classes. Brisbane is a small city but is nice because you can go to beautiful beaches and meet wonderful people."”
