"Gatton has a completely different vibe to St Lucia. From taking the intercampus bus and feeling the city stay behind while experiencing the beauty of the Lockyer Valley, to the campus being on multiple agribusiness farms, to each student and educator being passionate about furthering the capacity for the world to feed people — what you get are interactions on a beautiful campus with people who are down-to-earth, passionate, interesting, and more than likely, lifelong friends. "
