Transferred here from the States. Previously went to an open Enrollment Uni thinking going to a private institution with a higher global ranking would be better but I was let down. 1.) They didn’t transfer my credits until the very first day of classes, meaning all of the classes I was intending on taking I had to drop. They only transferred 3 credits out of 20 that I had. I took Sociology, Philosophy, Astronomy, etc. all of which they offer but decided not to transfer. I had to complain to someone and it took them days to review. When they came back they gave me an extra 4, and I had to pick my classes all over again. Very unprofessional, I submitted my transfer scripts 2 months in advance when it was first available to do so, and they didn’t get back until the first day. They messed up so many times just in the first few days. They seem dishonest with how they transfer classes. I still should have received more. You can’t even go in to see someone or call, it’s all online via email. 2.) AskLatrobe. This is where you go for virtually any question or concern you may have. Calling them is a chore because you’re waiting for 30+ minutes, and emailing them is a chore because sometimes they don’t get back for days and by then it’s too late. My personal opinion is that if you are taking that long you are understaffed, hire more staff! They seem strapped for money. 3.) That leads us into on campus accommodation. I wish I could recall the name but at first I went into these apartment complexes just 5 mins off campus. The flat has a bathroom, room and kitchen for $265 a week which isn’t bad, until you realize that there are spiders everywhere. Cracks under the door that you have to cover up to make sure they don’t come in, ripped screens on windows so you opening a window for fresh air wasn’t an option. I first turned on shower and the water was brown. The bed sheet provided had stains of which I can only hope was food. They don’t provide towels, blankets, dishes or anything besides the bare minimum. Toilet had frequent plumbing issues. Had to call the exterminator because the spiders were so bad, luckily he came next day but it got worse so I had to move. They won’t give you your deposit back (fair enough it’s common after signing a contract) but they didn’t disclose the spider infestation issue which I find unfair. You have to pay around $60-100 just to move to a new building. I moved to Glenn college. Shared bathrooms are pretty bad, they never seem to be clean and that goes for showers too. The mini kitchen is horrible, ours literally has a hole in the counter and there is never hot water. The room is literally brick with a desk and bed. If you lose your key card that’s even more money. Horrible air conditioning, I’ve come to believe they don’t even have air conditioning even though they advertise it on their website. The pricing is absolutely ridiculous, it’s pretty much a slap in the face for what you get. Not much consideration for students financial well-being. 4.) Classes. I’m not sure if it’s common but they have lecturers and teachers which I don’t like. You never really meet the person that is supposed to be the head of the class, there’s no bond there so I don’t know how they can write referrals for you if you need one. I found some rubrics ridiculously vague and pretty unclear as to what they’re actually grading. 5.) Some of the staff I have met have been rude, one even laughed at me when I asked about my accommodation card. If you’re coming here out of country not understanding the system quite yet it can be hard and they don’t seem to care. Overall, my experience has been negative. I find this University not up to par with the ranking it’s been given. They made a new costly accommodation building for when foreigners come back, to keep them financially afloat. A degree from here is nothing more than a piece of paper. They have been slowly going down in rankings for years, it’s only a matter of time before it’s bottom barrel. Pros: Scenic. Cons: everything else.

CRAP CRAP RUDE DECEPTIVE COURSES AND RUDE STAFF AVOID Dreadful uni Don't even bother to go as a mature age student..... you will feel unwelcome by the appalling rudeness Had comments about my age by staff that work there.... What does it matter how old you are to these rude latrobe staff members??? One example was a woman who worked in one of the offices in one of the professor's offices making a comment about my age.... how much older I was compared with the other students.... She was heaps older than me so maybe I should have said something back to her... rude as What should I have said to her? You are too old maybe you should't work either??? I was treated like a criminal and insulted being called a 'loner' by another rude senior staff member who was a placement coordinator when I needed help the most with a failed placement. No support just putdowns and then the same coordinator told the whole department that nobody could talk to me only him. This I found out later as it was.all done behind my back. Thanks a lot for the nonexistent 'support. Also, don't go to latrobe's counselors. They don't even respect your confidentiality. Privacy in counselling... there's none I'm afraid... One of the counselors told me that in order for us to process with our counselling session I had to give her the right for her to discuss our private session outside the room to other people because of 'safety ' reasons Just pathetic.... counselling should be confidential... I felt like a criminal once again Also, discriminated when applying for jobs there. Staff have to 'like you' or otherwise you have no chance with work there. Make sure you join the union, as students have no rights. They even lied to on placements for a course. It was meant to be a paid placement as the course description clearly says when you enrol. After 2 years of being lied about this... I found out the hard way. I was offered nothing just excuse after excuse and after complaining about this lying deceptive course. If I knew earlier than after 2 years hard study than no placement was available for me I wouldn't even bother enrolling in this course... But did this matter to the rude latrobe staff... absolutely not. Another senior staff member even complained to me that it wasn't up to her to 'give me a job' when I complained to her why wasn't the compulsory placement given to me at all.... RUDE RUDE RUDE AND ARROGANT I was then offered a non paid placement to keep my mouth shut When the description clearly says it has to be paid. Just dreadful.

La Trobe is the worst university in Melbourne! The lecturers are unhelpful. The coordinators and chancellors are corrupt and anti-art. The Ask La Trobe team are rude and condescending. And the school’s enrolment process is confusing and possibly rigged. When I enrolled into my subjects, I was only allowed to do five subjects per year. Every time I tried to enrol into more subjects, the box you click on to add the subject to your study plan disappeared and was replaced with a message saying “No credit points available”. When I saw that, I thought it meant that I had enrolled into the right number of subjects. At the previous university I went to (before deciding to come to La Trobe instead), they had a system where once you enrolled into the right number of subjects, the subject list would become disabled. And I thought that La Trobe had a similar system. They certainly didn’t mention what “No credit points available” meant in their handbook! So for three years I only studied fifteen subjects. I only found out that I wasn’t doing enough subjects because I sent Ask La Trobe an email asking why my friends were graduating and I wasn’t. When I told them in another email that the reason why I didn’t enrol into more than five subjects because of the system not letting me, they chose not to believe me. They just accused me of not reading the student handbook. So now I am forced to drop everything I had planned for 2021 and do another year of uni. I am to get deeper into student debt because the staff don’t want to admit that their administration is dodgy. I swear to God that their enrolment site wouldn’t let me enrol into the right number of subjects. I know what I saw! And if it does turn out that the system wasn’t messing up, then La Trobe really need to rewrite the content of their handbook! Their explanation of how to enrol isn’t clear enough! It would have been nice to have been told the meaning of “No credit points available” before I began enrolling into my subjects! (And it would have also been nice if I was told about my course load early on instead of them just letting me slip through the cracks like that!) Thanks for robbing me blind La Trobe! And thanks for not being understanding and empathetic when I contacted you for help. Thanks for jumping to conclusions about me and causing me to have a serve meltdown from the amount of stress you put me through. What a great start to the New Year!

This is a review of how this Uni manages payments. Quote from my statement of account: "Payment issue date: 04 April 2016 // Payment due date: 03 April 2016". Fees office refuses to comment or re-issue a new payment with fair notice and corrected dates. They keep repeating me it's overdue (thanks f***). Nobody anticipated me the figures so I got to know the full amount the day it was issued to me (previous Statement of Accounts, as late as 2 weeks before this "surprise" listed $ 0.00). In addition to this, when it was issued it was already overdue. The excuse is they calculate it on a day by day basis (?). They would only answer via proxy. I had to contact them via La Trobe International (LTI) and was told that I was expected to agree with them a payment plan, with all payments to be lodged by Census Date. They didn't acknowledge the mistake -- blamed it on "the system". They refused to correct my status and kept addressing payments as "overdue". I dutifully sent them a payment plan and they never answered me back. I had to go again through LTI in order to receive a response. This time their response (via proxy) is: 1. you are overdue (thanks f***) 2. come up with a payment plan (I did and you never answered back). 3. you can pay after 30 June but there will be sanctions (so now the "no consequences" thing has become: "there shall be sanctions", which in my dictionary reads "fines"). 4. sent me back the Statement of Account with the wrong dates on it. 5. refused to comment as per why they didn't agree with my previous payment plan regardless of having asked me to send one. 6. refused to acknowledge the mistake and change due dates and correct the "overdue" part, which is a ludicrous threat at this stage. I am pissed off enough to write a 1 star review. Guess why.

Unethical, unfair, unjust recruitment practices. I submitted an application on time, for a position at La Trobe Sydney, however, upon emailing my application, i received an email from La Trobe University's Recruitment, stating: 'Unfortunately, your email came through when we were having our final interviews with the candidates and we found the teaching staff we were looking for' (La Trobe University). That is unethical: conducting final interviews when the recruitment process is still open! I complained to the Complaints dept. at Melbourne, La Trobe campus, but received this response from the Manager of Complaints: "...I am unable to provide any further assistance" (Manager, Student Complaints, Student Complaints Office, La Trobe, Melbourne). How poor is that response: unprofessional and unaccountable for their unjust recruitment operations. Comparatively, La Trobe Sydney and La Trobe Melbourne, are a disgrace: unaccountable for their unjust recruitment practices. It is unfair for prospective candidates to be not properly considered and to conduct final interviews when the recruitment process is till open. Thus, I won't be applying for a job there anymore.

The schooling system is very confusing. I moved here from Griffith University and regret every second of it. I have moved again as I am unhappy with the atmosphere here. There is a lack of car park space available which makes me late to some of my classes (going 30 minutes prior to class starting). The timetable does not make sense to me at all. I had 2 classes on the opposite side of the campus. Eg. My first class would finish around 12 or sometimes a few minutes earlier. However, my next class starts at 12 and it is on the other side of the building. It is roughly a 10 minute walk. This was very inconvenient as I have a in-class test at the start of the class. Even if I made it to class on time (rarely), I would be running out of breath and I would be straight into my test?? At Griffith there would be a 15 minute break between each class. This gives the student to have toilet breaks, grab a coffee or perhaps go to their locker to get their books. Also most of the time the professor starts 5 minutes late so students are not rushed into going to their next class! Overall, three stars because I love the library. Big and spacious, great area to study.

La Trobe University, which was named after the state’s first Lieutenant-Governor, Sir Charles Joseph La Trobe, was established in 1964 and officially opened on 8 March 1967 when teaching commenced with some 500 students. The main campus buildings were designed by Melbourne architecture firm, Yuncken Freeman and are connected by a series of raised walkways. The Bundoora campus is the largest university campus in the Southern Hemisphere and has many facilities such as restaurants, bars, shops, banks and an art gallery. It also has three on-campus residential colleges: Menzies, Glenn and Chisholm. La Trobe University offers subjects and courses ranging from science, health and engineering to arts, social sciences and commerce. I like the design and layout of the Bundoora campus the core of which is separated from surrounding areas by an outer ring ‘moat’ of car parking and an open space network of parks, water and recreation areas. Also, with a pedestrian network at both ground and first floor levels, most academic functions are within five minutes walk and are centred around the Library and major lecture theatres.

I completed my Master's here. Overall, I am satisfied with my Master's. I was literally disappointed only when I applied for a advertised position. I was expecting that position confidently since all the requirements are met with my profile. Unfortunately, I was not selected. I called Latrobe recruitment to know the reason for my unsuccessful application. Initially, they said that the concern person not in the seat and she will call me back but never called back. After 3 days, I called them for the same reason but story repeated. 2 hours later, I got an Email saying, we have selected candidates who are very closely meeting their requirements. I replied them, asking why my application been rejected and the reasons for that but she never respond me. I was very disappointed and worried of the way they treated their own students. I heard from others that they only select the candidates whom referred by their employees, friends, family, etc.

  • Good old Mate

Nice campus, but flawed using politics When I first walked in the camps I saw many hypocrites advocating for socialism, marxism or even Leninism while enjoying a full life under a capitalist market economy They will try and sell you all of that under the disguise of "social justice" or "abolish the rich" while most likely never have lived in a socialist country before thus never seeing or experiencing the horrors. The ideologies that killed over 100 million in the last century are being praised at our universities today On the other hand however, enjoyable campus and nice outdoor food court environment which you get quite a few options. The lecturers have so far been very helpful and professional Although some of the old buildings could at least use some paint and the interior of a number of classrooms needs an overhaul upgrade / modernisation as they look quite dated. This includes the level 3 of the library

  • Yagiza 25

I really wanted to enroll for my Bachelors with La Trobe because of it's reputation but such a shame they offer no flexibility with course delivery. I live in Eastern suburbs and called them to check if any undergraduate business courses were available in the City Campus or if I could do the course partly online. They offered no flexibility in that regards. I also asked how many days on average I have to be on campus and they said almost everyday!! I heard with other universities (Vic Uni and ACU) their time table is very flexible, allowing you schedule your classes in a way where you only have to go on campus 2 or 3 days a week. I wonder what is the point of providing great infrastructure and no flexibility. Would never recommend La Trobe to any international student.

  • raza ali

i m totally disappointed and dishearten from the uni. I have being studying there for almost 2 years now and i have never found unit to be helpful in any student matter. The staff don't have the right knowledge they just follow the script which they have being told and they just follow that. They don't care about there student's time that how much time are they wasting. there is no coordination among the departments. They don't guided the student from the start but they throw them like a ball from one department to the other and after some week they just get an excuse and make your small problem a very big problem. and you never get satisfied from there decision they just waste our time and at the end you have to go some place else.

  • DrLeow2010

I received my Bachelor degree in Agricultural Science with honors; PhD degree in Toxicology and Diploma in Education from La Trobe University. The academic teaching staff, the library, the laboratories and research facilities of La Trobe University are of world class standard. The sport facilities, wild life reserves, mouth watering Asian cusines offered on campus and the serenity of the Moot River make La Trobe University an unforgettable experience. La Trobe University will always be my first choice university!

I attended my daughter's graduation ceremony today and wish to say what a wonderful experience it was. Everything from the presentation of the testamur to the celebration in Union Hall afterwards was incredibly well planned and executed. The opportunities to take numerous photos in such beautiful surroundings, the provision of a wide variety of drinks and food (catering for the different dietary needs) and live music and DJ was beyond my expectations. Also having a professional photographer taking photos to become magnets was a novel idea, and very much appreciated by the graduates and their parents. Thankyou, thankyou.

  • Ranger sim

It's great to see la trobe are discriminating against people that are unvaccinated by having zones where they can be, but it's OK for someone unvaccinated with an excemption to go wherever they want. Makes alot of sense. There is a word for this behaviour, its called segregation! Plus, if your in the 'zones' everyone knows that your unvaccinated! Seriously, when did your medical history become everyones business?You say you except everyone on campus, but only if they got a FORCED VACCINE. THATS WHAT DESCRIMINATION LOOKS LIKE one star and I will never study here.

  • Lindsay D

Worst university websites I've ever dealt with. So many different websites for information, handbook, subject options, enrolment, lms, timetabling,.... And they're all buggy and terrible. So un-user-friendly and frustrating. The enrolment page is the most rigid, terrible version of an enrolment page I can imagine and you can't fix problems yourself- you have to contact the slow help team during business hours. There are also really limited elective options and if you need help in person, they'll send you running all over the place and wasting your time for nothing.

  • Vitória-Iris Cooke

The unfortunate thing about La Trobe would have to be the lack of care in the upper administration of the University i.e the vice chancellor and deputy vice chancellor. These two have continued to gut the humanities department to its bones leaving many students with courses and degrees with no meaning. Along with this staff have faced the same issue with job cuts and most staff being on a temporary work basis rather then being full time. The worst aspect about the University is the rising levels of Homophobia with a lack of support to stop this by the University.

  • Ian Woodruff

Upcoming university in Melbourne's north LaTrobe is one of Melbourne's newer universities with a well sestablished campus in Bundoora as wella s some smaller campuses in the city. Well regarded for health sciences. Its Bundoora campus feels quite rural, with lots of open space and huge native trees. Its does feel a bit disconnected from urban life buit that is probably an advantrage to easily distracted students :) Its quite far from teh city centre so a car or the Bundoora tram service are your best transport options.

  • M R

I've been here for three years, they still haven't managed to fix their IT Infrastructure, every single time you grab a coffee you lose all of your work the system logs off and every single thing you were working on is gone. The enrollment also was horrible took two weeks to confirm my enrollment in which I lost my chances to start in first semester. The uni as a facade is kind of nice but it is far from being managed properly you will have a lot of trouble navigating through to find info or study related data.

  • Sushil Kumar

I would say one of the best University campus in Melbourne, I really enjoyed studying here. Students were from various cultures around the world, you can see diversity here. Loved the huge library with 3 levels, you are allowed to talk at ground (first) level, whisper at level 2 and remain silent at level 3. Agora is the point of center of the university campus that have all the facilities around it including eating places, bank, library, vanity shop and much more. University has its own forest reserve.

  • Oliver D

I am a new student at latrobe and am very disappointed with the universities attitude. Over the last couple of years i have heard of how the university has been making cuts to staff due to budget issues however they still manage to find money to plaster advertising everywhere through Bendigo and on the local radio station. Also the staff seem over worked but still i have only received one assignment back on time. overall i think the university has its priorities wrong and needs to change.

  • Chris Chapman

Great facilities and heaps of space, but the roads in and out and the parking are diabolical. It's like someone thought up all the ways to make the traffic flow nicely and did the opposite. Once you're inside, the basketball stadiums are great and well run, though! There are also outdoor facilities for all sorts of other sports: baseball, soccer (synthetic and grass), cricket, footy etc. You have to book to use the fields though, you can't just turn up and use them.

  • Graham Contractor

First week in Australia and had visited some countryside and other places too. The university is at a location separate from that but still has managed to hold the same aura and sense of nature within itself. The campus is HUGE and is as much green. Everything about it is superb. Just one thing- university should provide open parking for the first couple of/few days during and after the orientation. It'd be a great aid to the offshore students.

  • Chris Ace

No mention at all as to whether you can get a job. I would like to see how many people get jobs in their field of study. Never seen that. It would appear that their main aim is HECS fees. They are pumping out teachers and lawyers with the knowledge that many will not get jobs. Even if someone eventually gets a job after 6 month a year or two that's not good enough. Opportunity cost of no income. I give it 2 stars for the nice grounds.

  • Walter Dyson

An all round excellent educational institution. Mileage may vary when it comes to employability post-uni, but that's ultimately up to the student. The campus itself is absolutely stunning; if you study here spend as much time as you can on campus. Bonus tip; the Student Theatre has significant variation in quality, but the better shows they put on are absolutely outstanding examples of Melbourne's thriving theatre culture.

  • Nicholas Herriman

This will be a biased review, because I lecture at La Trobe. I landed my job a dozen years ago, after having tutored or casually taught at 8 other unis in Australia. None were better than La Trobe in terms of this: La Trobe has a high proportion of students who are the first in the family to go to Uni. Also students from migrant backgrounds are well represented. Actually we are university which is proud of its diversity.

  • Tim Marshall

What sort of stingy uni has ZERO librarians after 4pm?! This means if: - something goes wrong - you decide to return a book so you can borrow another one unexpectedly you have to travel all the way back later in the week. Too stingy to spend a lousy $200 to ensure thousands of fee-paying students have full access to library books after 400?!?! Usyd usually has FIVE librarians on duty. These muppets can't manage ONE!

  • Ravi Rathore

I'm in postgraduate programme at Latrobe university. The university has excellent support for international students. It has modern infrastructure and a lot of places to sit, relax or study. The library doesn't have good books for IT courses and some books Haven't been updated in a while. It is well connected with public transport and has a lot of places to get a yummy meal.

  • Triptmeet Kaur

I hv heard a lot about this university. Rest all depends on a person that what type of experience he or she attracts towards themselves. I am trying really hard to get this university It is one of the rare university to provide a dual course.I hope i get my offer letter soon.i am really praying to god and my fingers are crossed.lets hope for the best!!

  • Giuseppe Masini

Staff teaching accounting would not pass Australian English test for citizenship or high school teaching. The administration office is not understanding. The vice-chancellor is very unfriendly and would not shake my hand. I have shaken hands with John Howard and Donald Trump, but the vice-chancellor is not a man of the people.

  • MishManners

The facilities here are amazing. Lots of change rooms and bathrooms, Pavilion has a second story with a lift. Grounds are magnificent, each of the sub boxes even have mains power so we could setup a giant speaker. Matalidas and high performance centwr under construction so little messy but will e awesome when that's finished.

  • Keziah Lupton

very little support for students that are not in metropolitan areas. terrible communication regarding placements and assignments. Not willing to allow a campus transfer when i live more than 2 hrs away from melbourne. No communication back after multiple attempts to get in contact with them and submitting a formal complaint

  • ANT 72

My daughter graduated yesterday and I would just like to say a big thank yo to La Trobe for the great organisation that was put in place. Was so easy to follow what needed to be done and the very helpful staff that guided you through and always with a smile. Again thank you for a wonderful day to remember... Ant

  • MPO76 (MPO76)

Beautiful, large, vibrant campus, with lots of options and places to chill out too. Although a lot of the older buildings (and even some of the newer buildings) have that 1960s brutalist feel, the lush greenery and landscaping surrounding the campus makes it one of the nicest university campuses in Victoria.

  • David Burden

Did well here got degree or 3, in my life but these days one must decide if they want to remorgage the holiday home to get a piece of paper we hang on the wall and say look at me! the culture can be a bit fake its no Melb uni or Yale. Outdoor trades are also an option if you dont want the huge burden of debt

  • Alvaro Burgos

Good uni. Ups and downs like every institution ever. But if you want to learn you will, if you want to find mentors you will and if you want to broaden your mind and world you will. But if you are looking for an extended highschool, better get some life experience before you start studying..

  • sumair syed

Amazing university with great facilities and infrastructure. Loved every moment of my time at the university. Have fond memories of playing football in the indoor stadium as well as on the lawn. There is also a prayer room for Muslims which I found to be very convenient. Way to go La Trobe!!

  • azhar ahmed mama property

studying master's in business analytics here and the support i got from my uncle there was very great. i submitted my uncle's property documents in the name of my father after discussing with a faculty at la trobe , he advise me not to disclose with anyone. overall was great experience.

  • Rachel Winter

Beautiful and relaxing grounds, good facilities which are regularly and well maintained. Community connection. And excellent staff, who are just as human as everyone else, and still go above and beyond in their roles. Had a great time here and would happily enrol again.

  • DINO SMITH

My comment about La Trobe University place was very bad today because I get a cab for go this place. We get lost because we can't found carpark 4 today. I think this place not good to visiting this place. The Taxis drive was crazy because he can't found carkpark 4

  • krishna shashank

I've got the offer letter. heard that it is one of the best universities in australia. waiting for my first session.... can I get campus placement with good academics in MICT course? can you also please provide the information about campus accomodation also

  • H4I L3

Going around the school feels like going around a giant park, since buildings easily blend in with the trees and flowers. The people are friendly and the facilities are great. Watch out from above though, you wouldn't want to get bombshelled by bird feces.

  • Simone GB

Perfect if you want to study under constant construction - La Trobe times construction to coincide with their students study period - if you want a book for exams or final essays too bad! You have to wait 2-3 days for the book. Don't bother with this one.

  • Dinh Hong Thom

I studied Master of Community Planning and Development in Bendigo. Class size are small, very qualify and friendly lectures and classmates. Most of friends i made there from local Australia,some from Mexico, Nepal, Mozambique. Great learning environment.

  • John

Worst university in Australia, stay the hell away, if you somehow managed to stay with this university for few semesters don't even think of studying without joining student union, because they basically run this university through Borchardt Library.

  • Saifullah Shareef

I have got the offer letter.. If Allah wills... i will join the university for masters.. but.. after reading some negative reviews am worried now.. Please give me an assurity that the same wouldn't happen this year so that i can enroll without worry.

  • Patricia B

Gosh! Disorganised, lackluster customer service, buck-passing, disinterested etc. An eye opening disappointment for a 1st year Uni student, that has now affected their view as to whether to continue. These are people's lives - get it right, Bundoora!

  • Mr. MAZIN

I want to know two things about la trobe university, 1)About the campus placement for MICT program 2)I have got good academics and got a PTE-A score of 72 ,just want to know how much percentage of scholarship will i get based on my profile.

A great university with wonderful environment and great infrastructure. Quality of study and mentors makes this place more powerful. Because they are doing the best job to develop students life and career.

Overrated BS organization. Spend your money here at risk your own risk. Visits the library after a while and they evacuate the building without any notice for maintenance. They don't give a damn about you.

  • Jacob Northan

International students DON’t study at Latrobe. It is not good, go to any other university and you will be very happy, trust me. Latrobe university doesn’t care about international students future.

  • Jamikon Wiboonthananan

Excellent university; has a very large campus and very modern facilities. Friendly staff, and a very large number of study places. Has a great food section as well, including most common foods.

La Trobe University provides the best student services compared to any other Uni in Melbourne! Everybody here is so nice and empathetic. I've had a great experience so far <3 Lovely campus too.

  • Jasper Mck

As a student from another school I find the library at the uni very helpful for studying, due to the quiet environment. The rest of the uni is also very clean with a lot of options for food!

Had my COVID19 booster here at Austin Health today. Very efficient team operating under duress in hot temperatures. Carpark is like a rabbit Warren. I'm glad carpark 6 is well sign posted.
