Thank you so much, Ms. Elisabeth! I've been looking all over the internet for something that'll help inform me on my transition from America to Hillson. This was very informative and helpful. It is much appreciated and such a blessing!
I'm currently living in Nashville, TN. I have this burning feeling like God wants me in Australia for this program. I'm scared that leaving Nashville and getting out of the music scene will hurt my chances for worship leading/ministry. Really conflicted here..
DUDE! That was me 100%. I was going to head to California and start up my music career but other things happened. Honestly if you feel like you're supposed to be here then you should definitely come. You can only escalate with God and maybe there is something you need to work through and on before getting to where you want to be in your career. Plus, the best musicians need to master their craft. Even the bible says "play and play skillfully". If you want to talk more about it, I got you. I understand 100% where you're coming from.
the Paul Thomas Music I don't know if you made your choice yet but if God is telling you to go to hillsong college then go you still can worship/lead worship. I hope you make the right choice. God bless you
Oh wow! This is so helpful! Thank you :) I am moving to Sydney to start my studies @Hillsong College in Jan 2021 and there’s a few things in this video I didn’t even think of. Thanks so much for sharing xx
Hey I just wanted to say thank you so much for making this video! It's been a really big help for me to make my decision on going to Hillsong College when I finish school!
I liked your insight, interesting hearing an international student discuss a city in a country you live in and the church you have visited many times when living in Sydney. I would also add that Australia is expensive to live in. If coming from the USA (post covid pandemic) everything from food to clothing and so on is more expensive, though you can hunt for bargains. The opal card is great, Hillsong Church is not in central Sydney but out in the suburbs so I suggest google maps and study the Hills district and Sydney, they have been building a station to go from the area of castle towers shopping centre that will make it easier to get into the city areas. Travel from the airport on the train will cost you around $15 to the city, due to some privatisation thing. Sydney has a winter! Electricity is expensive so running the heating air con, or a fan heater all day is not recommended. And the same for aircon in summer. It will be cold enough to wear a coat or jacket, boots, beanie, scarf etc. Lots of sunscreen get the 50+ ( on the tube or container) UV is really bad between about 10-4pm in summer. For long term care of your skin ( Or you really don't want sun damage) sun baking is not recommended for very long, you can wear rashies and is acceptable to where a T-shirt swimming too- I did especially as a teenager and didn't sunbake through the hot NSW summers, now giving me beautiful skin in my middle years of life- make sure you have a broad rim hat caps are not enough if spending a lot of time in the sun. Drink lots of water. If going to the beach the ocean- surf is very strong in Australia and learn about rips, especially Sydney beaches for example Bondi. If travelling north up into Queensland for a break or holiday in summer the heat-UV is ++++, gets more humid the further you travel up the coast in Queensland. We love our coffee here cost anywhere from about $4.00 -5.50 (Australian) depending on the size or place you buy it. And I think Australia is great, relaxing and one of the safest countries in comparison to many others in the world.
the make-up tip is the best tip! buy before you come!!, and also what you said about the sun, yessss! protect yourself, wear zinc, (invisible zinc is great and there are a few different brands) but honestly 50+ sunscreen. can confirm stylish people at hillsong, and at sydney i cant personally say i have good style though, and I'm here soo if you're expecting good style you're not going to get it from me. i can make you a pretty good coffee though
Thank you for this! I haven’t applied yet but I’m going to do it tonight. This has really helped me, more than I thought! If I see you at college I’ll be sure to say it in person!
not a hundred percent sure yet, but I believe God is calling me to help set up the Youth Group and church in Prague in the Czech Republic for a while, and then go to HC after that. I'm 16 and everything in life can be so scary, but I do believe God has a plan. this school seems super dope, and hopefully (if I go), I don't get tired of all the people since we'll be having chapel and stuff almost everyday haha
I’m about to enter my senior year of high school and I went to a hillsong concert yesterday and they were promoting their college and I’m definitely interested! Thank you for making a video. I don’t know what to expect.
Thanks so much for your video! Love all the practical information. I will be attending Hillsong College in January 2018 and have been wondering how the weeks will be and what the classes in school will be like, so this really helped!
Thank you for this video!! I've had this dream about going to Hillsong college for the longest time. I'm planning to attend next year after I graduate high school.
thank you so much Elisabeth. I have applied for the July semester for this year. And this video has helped me so much. Hoping to meet you when I get there!
If your ever in Melbourne check out Planetshakers church in Southbank Also they have a conference in April 2017 it's only $20 to attend for 4 nights and 3 days
ElisabethBeauty I serve on our media team at Planetshakers putting the lyrics on the screen so I'm really good friends with most of the staff and band We also just released our brand new album called Overflow last Friday it's their best album yet
I wish there was something like this before. I remember last year i wanted to attend hillsong college and i looked online to see comments about it and i didnt see any. so thank you. Now, im attending a completely different college.
Wow your exactly on point on someone who'll need this cause I'm thinking of going there and I'm frantic lol. I'm searching for so much info. This helped SO SO much thank you much! I'm only 15 but getting the info now is helping a lot
Wish u the best ! Im in my second year of college I kinda of regret not going away :( but Im still happy at my College. Your college sounds soo beautiful
It was my first time to here that there was a Hillsong Collage abroad.. Its really grateful to be there if only I have an opportunity to go there abroad and study there....
Thank you so much omg, I'm in New Zealand and I'm considering HC as an option for 2018, so this answered so much for me as I'd also be an international student there omg
You are close to the weekend markets 10 mins away you can by 20 dollar make up for 2 or 3 dollars as well as sunscreen you pay to much at the supermarket
Thanks for this!!!!!!! Just a question, do you live in the Campus? how much do you pay? Did you have wash machine, driver, bed, did you buy those things when you got there?
does the resume advertisement is from them because I've tried hardly to apply for a job in Canada and that keep puping up when ever I try to apply on the website agancy from Canada and if so, I wonder why? why their resume advertisement thing keep comming up or did they tric that website. Also, I spoke to someone on chating, she said she is located in Costa Rica. Beside it is awesome, I did even know all of these info about them and college and so on...
I am planning on attending in 1 year and am interesting in pursuing the songwriting focus of the worship stream. 1.) When we audition for that, do we sing a composition without accompaniment, or are we supposed to play an audio version? 2.) When we audition for vocals, are we also singing without accompaniment? I'm fine playing keys for myself, but I was just wondering what to expect. And thanks so much for your video! I am 1 year out, but it feels like there are so many details to adhere to! I know God's got it, but the human in me wants to freak out. XD By the way, I hope I get to meet you!
I'm currently a junior in high school I 100% want to come to Hillsong College I plan on taking a break year and then come to Hillsong. Is there a really high acceptance rate? I'm totallyset on this college not going to lie lol.
Hi Elisabeth, thank you for uploading the video. I am so grateful I had the final epiphany to join Hillsong. Can you please guide me through the process? You have inspired me after my lifelong hunger and thirst of achieving my dream. I live in Elliott Heads in Queensland Australia. Where would you recommend me to start please? God bless you my sister.
Loved your video! I was in Australia this past July and couldn't help but notice how stylish everyone is and how the dress in mostly neutrals? is that a cultural thing? or a Sydney thing? Just curious...
This was extremely helpful, thank you! I'm wanting to pursue a ministry degree at Hillsong College, only thing holding me back is the cost of school and living expenses :/ advice on how much to save before moving out there?
I’m thinking of attending Hillsong for Worship, I’m living in the States and I’m kinda worried about finances and that’s the biggest thing holding me back and is kinda scaring me a little. What can I do to help pay for college there (scholarships, fundraising, maybe just getting a job)?
THANK YOU FOR THIS!!! I'm hoping to attend HILC next January. A couple of questions tho, you mentioned coffee... Does there happen to be a Starbucks near your campus? Lol! Also, if I were to arrive perhaps a month early, are you immediately able to get into college housing despite the fact that it's early in January and there's no school?
Hey!! So basically there is a coffee shop at the school and at the shopping center across there are a few also. The coffee is amazing here. They take it very seriously. However, it's about $4 for a super tiny cup. What I have discovered (on the DL😂) is there is a gas station across from the school that sells pretty big cups for only $2. The nearest Starbucks is an hour bus into the city, sorry 😂! Accommodation wise, they only opened up housing like 2 days before school started for me. I doubt they will let you into to your house that early so I would recommend not going with college housing or renting an Airbnb. Otherwise, college students rent their rooms out when they go away on vacation so you should check the Hillsong Community page.
Thank you for this video! I'm getting ready to head over there from the states too. Do a lot of students work during the semesters? Is the employment transition hard with the student visas? Do you feel like it's doable to do both?
Hi Elisabeth My name is Emilio and I saw your video on youtube the one about what to take to Australia for Hillsong College Thanks for that, it was awesome It gave me some insight into how to do the school hey, I would like to ask... ¿what devices are provided by the University and which ones have to be provided by the students? That is, ¿do I need to take my guitar, Computer, interphase, and so on, with me, or are them provided by the University?
Hey Emilio! Thanks for watching:) Im so glad I could help. I recommend bringing everything that you think you will need as the college doesn't provide anything along those lines.
Wow! Love this! I need these videos!!!! I also have a question! How much is rent generally? And are there possibilities to work the first year or would that be to much for you? You are so beautiful!!!! Craaazy!!😍💕🙆🏾
You are too sweet ❤️❤️! Rent for college housing in the hills is anywhere from $149-$180. In the city it's a lot more. That doesn't include monthly water, gas, and heating bills which differ through house depending on what is used. If you don't mind it, I'd really recommend going with non college housing. They are super cheap and generally quite nice. People are offering up spaces all the time on the fb page.
omg thank you so much for this video! i have a question. do you study history at the college intensely? what kind of history do you study there? thank you so much. god bless you
Thank you so much for this video! Been looking for something like this for a while now! Just a quick question; What's the difference between the Hills and City campuses (except the location)? Like is there a difference in which stream is where?
Mainly the campus isn't as nice in my option but everything is more expensive. It's nice because it's great access to the city which is about a 30minute bus where hills is.
I can go explore anytime i would like! I usually go up to 4 times a week or sometimes not at all. Just depends on the season. Its a huge season, there is usually something going on.
Hi! I know this is kinda late considering you put this video out a few months ago. I'm hoping to attend Hillsong College in January of 2018. Is there any way we can talk. If not I understand! Thanks so much:)
This has made me so nervous, I have applied for January... And finances is a struggle but also the whole audition things is freaking me out 😂 COME ON JESUS
+ElisabethBeauty Full trust in HIM that it will happen, hey do you have any communications that we could contact just for advice and stuff about College etc etc?
Hi Elizabeth! I am planning on coming to Hillsong January of 2018! Just curious, how much money would you suggest having when I get down there with all the preps and living costs. Also, is it hard to get a job while going to school there? Thanks for this awesome video!!!
Hi! Thanks so much for your videos! I am getting ready to head to Sydney in January for the January 2017 intake! I have a question about phones. How do international plans work there? Do you have to have a local number?
We are so excited to have you!! I got a plan when I got here through Vodafone. I have local number but on my plan I get 300 international call minutes.
Hi! I'm a freshman in high school (lol) but I feel a calling to go into deaf ministry. But Hillsong city campus and hills campus don't have anything for that. Does anyone have any recommendations or advice? I'm in the US
Emilee Grace Hey! I'm actually an ASL interpreter, thinking about going to Hillsong for a certification or something, since I'll have my Bachelor's soon. I would say that the best thing you can do is master the language while staying in the Word, so you can be well-equipped and ready to evangelize. It depends where you want to go with it too, so I'd be happy to DM you and talk some to help you figure out your goals 🙂
Hey! Thanks so much for uploading this, it really answers a LOT of questions. I'm planning on attending the January 2017 intake and I was wondering what the college housing is like in the City campus? (Also, I'm 28 and I was wondering if that would be a setback for me).
Age is absolutely no biggie:) For the city, they have quite nice apartments but I have only looked at them briefly so I'm not 100% sure what they look like.(ALSO, I would recommend hills all the way.)
Hey everyone! I currently attend Elevation School of Worship @ Elevation church! Not many people know about this program, but I am currently uploading a youtube video on it! If you're interested, check it out! :) PS: Thanks Elisabeth for inspiring me to make this for other people!
well, I'm that person which has no Idea - so thank you! :) next year I'm coming also for songwriting and I've heard that I need equipment^^ how can I choose the right equipment? and do you think it would be smart to buy it after I started college?
Alright. Basically, I'm a quite high level pianist(I also sing, play the drums/bass & guitar) but I think it would be more effective to explore a new area, what do you think?
hey Elisabeth your video is really helpful . I am planning for Jan 2017 in the stream of TV & media . I have few doubts . 1.for how many days in a week that we are gonna have classes ? 2. what are the accommodation facilities we have ,from college side and even of our own choice ,how much it's gonna cost ? sorry if over asked 😋
Hey Arpan! Thanks for the question! You will have classes everyday except Friday, Saturday, and Sunday if you are first year. However you will be serving on Sundays. Housing wise, you can apply for college housing and it should be about anywhere from $100-$170/week. If you feel comfortable finding non college housing, that would be a good alternative and a lot cheeper.
Hey Elisabeth! Just saw video and I have one more question. When you apply online they let you know if you are accepted. And in case you have been then you're going for audition and enrolment. Do I get it right or no? I'm getting ready for January 2018, so I want to know.
Hey girl! I know it varies from person to person, but can you tell me if you look back after a whole year of college, how much you have spent including everything, flights, food, housing, tuition, visa, all of that. I want to have an ideia of how much I should have to be okay for my first year there.
There are SOOOO many differences. The descriptions are on the website. Vocals is more about worship leading and singing, whereas songwriting is all about writing and expression.
Hey thank you for making this video! I want to apply for Hillsong College (Tv & Media) ... So I was wondering if you have time to work, or college takes to much of your time. Please excuse my english is not my first language :)
Hello! Don't want to be a bother, but I think this video is SO helpful. I still have SO many questions, though. I would eventually like to become a teacher and foresee a major scholarship opportunity to do so after I graduate this year. Do you recommend getting that first or coming to Hillsong? Thank you!! :)
Amazing!! When do you think you'll have it out? I am very eager to continue to learn more about your experience and College, itself. Thank you! Do you know about how many students there are at Hills?
I was wondering if it was easy to get part time jobs while being a first year? I'm Rachel and I live in England. I'm looking at going to Hillsong College in a few years but don't know if I could afford it. The pricing is nothing in comparison to the English Universities so the opportunity is great but I know you have to pay upfront for Hillsong. Please help ?
How cold does it get in Sydney Australia? P.S. I'm from upstate NY -15-30 degrees when there's a cold front and up to -14 without a cold front in the winter.
IT GET SO COLD! You wouldn't think it but i recommend layers and more layers. Also once you get here you should buy a hot water bottle or a heating blanket as there is no housing insulation and heaters are very expensive to run.
Arianna Is Me also yes! Roommates are common because cost of living is so high. You can sometimes score single rooms or you can get noncollege housing.
Thank you so much, Ms. Elisabeth! I've been looking all over the internet for something that'll help inform me on my transition from America to Hillson. This was very informative and helpful. It is much appreciated and such a blessing!

Go for it!
the Paul Thomas Music I don't know if you made your choice yet but if God is telling you to go to hillsong college then go you still can worship/lead worship. I hope you make the right choice. God bless you

Its more of an evaluation, not so much an audition.
Thank you so much for your info!
Would you be able to type a layout explaining the finances, just a little bit more in depth for me to look over please ?
I'm currently a junior in high school I 100% want to come to Hillsong College I plan on taking a break year and then come to Hillsong. Is there a really high acceptance rate? I'm totallyset on this college not going to lie lol.

Tiffanie B cultural thing 100%. Every one dresses very nice here and in places similar like Europe.
Great video! SO helpful--see you in January! (Also doing songwriting :))
YEAH GIRL!! Songwriters unite :)
This was extremely helpful, thank you! I'm wanting to pursue a ministry degree at Hillsong College, only thing holding me back is the cost of school and living expenses :/ advice on how much to save before moving out there?
Probably around $8000 and expect to get a job Also!:) can't wait for you to join us.
@@elisabethbeemer $8,000 AUD or USD? please help
I’m thinking of attending Hillsong for Worship, I’m living in the States and I’m kinda worried about finances and that’s the biggest thing holding me back and is kinda scaring me a little. What can I do to help pay for college there (scholarships, fundraising, maybe just getting a job)?

I doubt they will let you into to your house that early so I would recommend not going with college housing or renting an Airbnb. Otherwise, college students rent their rooms out when they go away on vacation so you should check the Hillsong Community page.
+ElisabethBeauty thank you so much!!! This is so helpful. Please make more videos about hillsong college!
OMG. This is so helpful. Thanks.
this is reakky helpful thank you!
Thank you for this video! I'm getting ready to head over there from the states too. Do a lot of students work during the semesters? Is the employment transition hard with the student visas? Do you feel like it's doable to do both?
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!
Thanks for this video!! I had a question which is can you be in two streams such as dance and songwriting or vocales?
Jocy and Jackie no:/ the one stream will take up all your time. However, you can between years though.
Hey Beth!
I hope ur amazing! I have a question about the theoretical subjects. Is there any tests and/or "homeworks" in them?
XOXO
It depends what classes you take but yes, there are tests and assessments.
Is there certain grades you must have in high school in order to get in cause i intend on going to HC so I'm wondering
Daniel Tolbert nope! It’s really chill.
Hi Elisabeth
My name is Emilio and I saw your video on youtube
the one about what to take to Australia for Hillsong College
Thanks for that, it was awesome
It gave me some insight
into how to do the school
hey, I would like to ask...
¿what devices are provided by the University and which ones have to be provided by the students?
That is, ¿do I need to take my guitar, Computer, interphase, and so on, with me, or are them provided by the University?
Hey Emilio! Thanks for watching:) Im so glad I could help. I recommend bringing everything that you think you will need as the college doesn't provide anything along those lines.
Wow! Love this! I need these videos!!!! I also have a question! How much is rent generally? And are there possibilities to work the first year or would that be to much for you? You are so beautiful!!!! Craaazy!!😍💕🙆🏾
You are too sweet ❤️❤️!
Rent for college housing in the hills is anywhere from $149-$180. In the city it's a lot more. That doesn't include monthly water, gas, and heating bills which differ through house depending on what is used.
If you don't mind it, I'd really recommend going with non college housing. They are super cheap and generally quite nice. People are offering up spaces all the time on the fb page.
Can you find that housing before coming over, that way it is set up ahead of time?
Yes! Not through college though.
omg thank you so much for this video! i have a question. do you study history at the college intensely? what kind of history do you study there? thank you so much. god bless you
Thank you so much for this video! Been looking for something like this for a while now! Just a quick question; What's the difference between the Hills and City campuses (except the location)? Like is there a difference in which stream is where?
Mainly the campus isn't as nice in my option but everything is more expensive. It's nice because it's great access to the city which is about a 30minute bus where hills is.
I adore cities. How often do you visit? Are there many travel and exploration activities that go on?
I can go explore anytime i would like! I usually go up to 4 times a week or sometimes not at all. Just depends on the season. Its a huge season, there is usually something going on.
Hi! I know this is kinda late considering you put this video out a few months ago. I'm hoping to attend Hillsong College in January of 2018. Is there any way we can talk. If not I understand! Thanks so much:)
+ Ariana Williams I will be starting Hillsong in January 2018 as well! Maybe we can stay in touch? :)
Liefs Lauri That would be amazing!!
Hey ariana williams and liefs lauri! I'll be applying for HILC Jan 2018 as well!
Yay!!
This has made me so nervous, I have applied for January... And finances is a struggle but also the whole audition things is freaking me out 😂 COME ON JESUS
Noo!!! I got so nervous but it honestly wasn't a big deal at all. The whole thing is hyped up. :)
+ElisabethBeauty Full trust in HIM that it will happen, hey do you have any communications that we could contact just for advice and stuff about College etc etc?
My Instagram @ElisabethBeemer
trust him bro. He's got you!!!!!
I've been contemplating on hillsong college for years but the main thing thats holding me back is the financing for it, like it's a lot. any tips?
Can you take several classes ? Could i do vocals , musician (instrument), songwriting, & teens (pastoral)
Out of curiosity how many people showed up barely able to play their instrument haha....I've heard that used to happen a lot there.
I honestly have no idea:) I think people are pretty proficient in their instrument but we are all here to learn. I would recommend knowing basics.
Hi Elizabeth! I am planning on coming to Hillsong January of 2018! Just curious, how much money would you suggest having when I get down there with all the preps and living costs. Also, is it hard to get a job while going to school there? Thanks for this awesome video!!!
How much do you pay a year for your college?
Thank you it's useful for me...... May I now about certificate we need to produce for the college ..... regards of studies
Highschool diploma!
thank you..... really its use full....
Hi! Thanks so much for your videos! I am getting ready to head to Sydney in January for the January 2017 intake!
I have a question about phones. How do international plans work there? Do you have to have a local number?
We are so excited to have you!! I got a plan when I got here through Vodafone. I have local number but on my plan I get 300 international call minutes.
Thanks for this! Do you have any info on like how much time you'll have to work a job there? Or any reccommendations
Sophie Baxter watch my most recent video! The Serena segment :)
I will apply after my master graduation
Hi! I'm a freshman in high school (lol) but I feel a calling to go into deaf ministry. But Hillsong city campus and hills campus don't have anything for that. Does anyone have any recommendations or advice? I'm in the US
Emilee Grace Hey! I'm actually an ASL interpreter, thinking about going to Hillsong for a certification or something, since I'll have my Bachelor's soon. I would say that the best thing you can do is master the language while staying in the Word, so you can be well-equipped and ready to evangelize. It depends where you want to go with it too, so I'd be happy to DM you and talk some to help you figure out your goals 🙂
Australia uses Auslan (Australian Sign Language). It is different to ASL. We use two handed fingerspelling for a start.
Hi am Evans from Uganda. Was wondering if they offer scholarship programs bse I would love to join.
are you living in college accommodation ?
Hey! Thanks so much for uploading this, it really answers a LOT of questions. I'm planning on attending the January 2017 intake and I was wondering what the college housing is like in the City campus? (Also, I'm 28 and I was wondering if that would be a setback for me).
Age is absolutely no biggie:) For the city, they have quite nice apartments but I have only looked at them briefly so I'm not 100% sure what they look like.(ALSO, I would recommend hills all the way.)
Hey everyone! I currently attend Elevation School of Worship @ Elevation church! Not many people know about this program, but I am currently uploading a youtube video on it! If you're interested, check it out! :)
PS: Thanks Elisabeth for inspiring me to make this for other people!
when are you posting the video?
well, I'm that person which has no Idea - so thank you! :)
next year I'm coming also for songwriting and I've heard that I need equipment^^
how can I choose the right equipment? and do you think it would be smart to buy it after I started college?
What kind of equipment are you wanting? The school doesn't provide anything so everything you want, you should bring.
i dont know if i should bring sth, maybe a macbook plus an interface? or a mic? or is it also possible to study without equip?
I brought my mic, Mac book, guitar. Everything that was absolutely necessary.
Alright. Basically, I'm a quite high level pianist(I also sing, play the drums/bass & guitar) but I think it would be more effective to explore a new area, what do you think?
I think thats a great idea:)
hey Elisabeth your video is really helpful . I am planning for Jan 2017 in the stream of TV & media . I have few doubts .
1.for how many days in a week that we are gonna have classes ?
2. what are the accommodation facilities we have ,from college side and even of our own choice ,how much it's gonna cost ?
sorry if over asked 😋
Hey Arpan! Thanks for the question!
You will have classes everyday except Friday, Saturday, and Sunday if you are first year. However you will be serving on Sundays.
Housing wise, you can apply for college housing and it should be about anywhere from $100-$170/week. If you feel comfortable finding non college housing, that would be a good alternative and a lot cheeper.
thanks a lot mate, that's was really helpful. 🍻
Great video! really helpful.. I have a question, is it possible to have a part time job you know to earn budget for other expenses?
Yeah, many students make it through college by having a part time job.
The college you went to is in Australia right?
Nyl Luison ya
Hey Elisabeth! Just saw video and I have one more question. When you apply online they let you know if you are accepted. And in case you have been then you're going for audition and enrolment. Do I get it right or no? I'm getting ready for January 2018, so I want to know.
Hey girl! I know it varies from person to person, but can you tell me if you look back after a whole year of college, how much you have spent including everything, flights, food, housing, tuition, visa, all of that. I want to have an ideia of how much I should have to be okay for my first year there.
can you take both Tv & Media and Pastoral
Do you know the difference between the songwriting and worship(vocals) streams?
There are SOOOO many differences. The descriptions are on the website. Vocals is more about worship leading and singing, whereas songwriting is all about writing and expression.
Hey thank you for making this video! I want to apply for Hillsong College (Tv & Media) ... So I was wondering if you have time to work, or college takes to much of your time. Please excuse my english is not my first language :)
Awesome! You will have time for work. Fridays and Saturdays are free days.
Hello! Don't want to be a bother, but I think this video is SO helpful. I still have SO many questions, though. I would eventually like to become a teacher and foresee a major scholarship opportunity to do so after I graduate this year. Do you recommend getting that first or coming to Hillsong? Thank you!! :)
Hey girl!! I answered your question in detail in a video I am about to put out.
Amazing!! When do you think you'll have it out? I am very eager to continue to learn more about your experience and College, itself. Thank you! Do you know about how many students there are at Hills?
I was wondering if it was easy to get part time jobs while being a first year? I'm Rachel and I live in England. I'm looking at going to Hillsong College in a few years but don't know if I could afford it. The pricing is nothing in comparison to the English Universities so the opportunity is great but I know you have to pay upfront for Hillsong. Please help ?
Its easy to get a job:) I answered your question in detail in a video I am about to put out.
Perfect thanks 😁
What is the actual workload like in terms of homework and things of that nature?
It depends what stream your in:)
hey, how did you start funding? I know this is what I want to do, but I have no idea where to start. help!!
I started a GoFundMe! I made a video since I thought visually presenting it would be the best route to go. :)
Quick question. What does 'Stream' mean in an Academic sense?
Could be like your major ?
How cold does it get in Sydney Australia? P.S. I'm from upstate NY -15-30 degrees when there's a cold front and up to -14 without a cold front in the winter.
IT GET SO COLD! You wouldn't think it but i recommend layers and more layers. Also once you get here you should buy a hot water bottle or a heating blanket as there is no housing insulation and heaters are very expensive to run.
sosososo helpful! thank you!!
thank you so much, is there any part time job to do to? bless you
How big are the classes? Do you get to work in smaller groups a lot? Also, Do you share rooms?
Arianna Is Me there are lectures and then there are small groups of about 15 called cores:)
Arianna Is Me also yes! Roommates are common because cost of living is so high. You can sometimes score single rooms or you can get noncollege housing.
Elisabeth Beemer Thankyou!
hlo,I want to go in Australia so could you tell me about work or how much time pupils have to do work
Very helpful.thAnk you
Wait a sec hold up, Hillsong is just a music school? I want to go in to children's ministry, and I really wanted to go to here. I'm from the states :)
Oh I just watched the stream part:)
