Parramatta or Cambelltown? (1 Viewer)

[Chrissiieee]

Hai guise, quick question:
Would you guys say the Parra or Cambelltown campus is better?
In terms of facilities, uni life, aesthetics and any other criteria you can think of.

danke, danke.

What are the relative distances to you? Trust me you don't want an extra 30 mins+ of driving or more money on tolls just for a couple more student groups.

Going to the Cambelltown campus would cut off around 30-45 mins public transport time one-way.
Although i think Parramatta is closer by car.

I've seen both campuses, but I've only ever studied at Parra at night. On face value, Campbelltown is prettier and has a nice bar. Parramatta is BUSY but it has Subway. Depending on your course, more units and subjects will be offered at one campus versus the other, or have better timetabling.

Parra's societys scene is pretty aids...

Honestly if you want to go to Parramatta simply because you can drive there, don't. The parking is terrible, and if it's quick to get a train to Campbelltown, do that instead.

The parking at parra is bad, but still wayyy better than public transport imo..

If you get there before 9am (even 15 mins before) you should get a park any day. The worse time for parking is between 9am-1pm. After 1pm I always get parking as well...

If worse comes to worse you get sent to the north campus, which isn't that bad really, there's a free bus which leaves every 15 mins that goes back to the main campus.

To the OP: What area are you travelling from?

But if travelling to Campbelltown by public transport isn't too time consuming, it's cheaper (and probably easier) to go Campbelltown.

Public transport to campbelltown is awesome because you are moving opposite rush hour. It almost never delays.

 

[Chrissiieee]

thanks for the replies guys
driving to parra sucks esp. in peak hour, and even worse is that they've closed off one student parking block and made it exclusivly staff only.

Campbelltown rocks.

 

[Chrissiieee]

o rly?
what distinguishes it from the other campuses?

 

[kara42]

Haha I dunno, I was just being biased because I live near there.

Fuck. Fucking high at the train station. Then as you go to the actual mac square they litter the area near cinemas some of them just stare off into the distance.

 

[Chrissiieee]

if i go toctown campus
i propose an emo drive by day?
- eggs etc etc for the lulz?

 

[wixxy2348]

I will supply the eggs

I go to Ctown. It's pretty sick. Right now I'm sitting in the library typing this.
We have bar nights every once in awhile. A chess club, sport comps, wii comps, you name it.

Not to mention the table tennis out on the patio on days that don't rain.

Oh yes and there is never an issue with parking. And you can study by the lake if you like peace.

Yup. All the time. Honestly, there's not much to do at C'town.
