22 August 2006: Thirty international students from four ACT colleges discovered what the campus has to offer last week.

The special Discovery Day gave students from Erindale, Dickson, Hawker and Canberra Colleges the chance to check out University facilities including its state of the art moot court, computer centre, radio station and cafes.

Hawker College student Antony Zhao from China said he was interested in studying education or public relations at the University and had found the campus "beautiful".

Classmate Tanya Liu, also from China, said she felt Canberra had "better opportunities for students" and was interested in nursing or education.

The students also had their first taste of a university test, with a quiz on what they had learned around campus.

Ten lucky students who had been paying attention won movie tickets.
