Subtropical Scholars

Ah, Subtropical Scholars—a haven for those keen on pursuing education while basking in the glorious contradictions of the Gold Coast. Here, we question if paradise and academia can coexist under the same sun-drenched sky, much like that eternal debate of surf versus turf. Established with a nod to Gold Coast’s not-so-distant transformation from sleepy beach town to bustling educational hub, this group offers more than collective eye-rolls over excessive tourist traps. We'll dissect texts and deconstruct theories while keeping one eye on the rising surf report. Where else could you probe the mysteries of post-colonial literature with sand still stuck between your toes, or navigate the volatile waters of student loans amid sea breeze and salt? Welcome to the ultimate educational paradox.
