What do you love about college? I love Duval college for a number of reasons. The college atmosphere is so positive, supportive and encouraging. I also love the balance Duval has between social and academic events. But, most of all I love the people within the walls of the college, because they are really what makes Duval a special place to live, they are what makes it a home, and I am sure the Freshers will add to this and make the college an even more unique and special place.

Where are you from? Gilgandra
What makes your college unique? I felt at home so quickly, everyone connected at some level to each other and you make friends from so many different states and degrees. I believe a big part of that is the Duval Kyacking Club, a chance for everyone to come together, have a great weekend away and do something meaningful. I think that kinda sums up Duval, having a blast of a time while helping out and getting things done.
