New to SCU Facebook Group
Are you new to Southern Cross University? Are you looking to connect with like-minded people? Join our New to SCU Facebook group!
All new students are welcome to join and interact with other students, including our Orientation student volunteers.
This group is a place to make new friends and talk about starting at SCU, no matter what degree you're studying. It is a place to learn and share tips on studying at SCU, what has helped you to settle in, and even where the best cafes are!
Introduce yourself by telling us what you’re studying and from where. Make sure to comment on other posts to keep the conversation flowing and make lasting connections.
