What university was that? (Was it even a university? Doesn't sound like any I've heard of...)

I can't decide whether I should googleably post the name of the Uni, partly because, despite the negativity in my comment, I had a blast there. The campus was beautiful and staff and professors were very knowledgeable and helpful. I learned a lot, but unfortunately you didn't need to if you didn't want to. In fact, I seem to recall my classes were only a pass/fail basis as well, so a D was the same as an A.

It was in Cairns, which actually narrows it down quite a bit if you want to google it.

What, you've never left the United States? Continental European universities are often organized like this. Or have been recently; I can't speak for right now.
