My name is Marcus Smith and I am a student ambassador at La Trobe University I’m studying a Bachelor of Agricultural Science and I intend to take this into an advising job or into the research field.

I chose to become a student ambassador as I have so many great experiences to share about this wonderful university for aspiring students. My advice for future students is to have fun as you go along and talk to as many people as you can, because it is more than likely that others are/were in your position.

A must do for all is to attend an open day to pick up all the information you need. It is a great opportunity to talk to academics, lecturers and current students in the area you are intersted in.

The best things about La Trobe is definately the student life and the relaxed atmosphere of the campuses.
