Charles Sturt University - [CSU], Sydney, New South Wales - Accommodation

I was staying outside the Uni with my friends. The average rent was about $150 per week which includes all the bills.

The University has a good schedule for the subjects. It is one of the best colleges in Australia.

I live on campus and I am provided with 5 meals per week, with allocated spending money which I can only use at the cafe or mini mart, however, is beneficial if I am in need for more food for dinner or even purchasing a coffee.

It’s a brilliant University, however, the course is definitely community orientated which is where I want to venture my future profession. The course includes areas such as psychology, policing, politics, emergency management, sociology and indigenous subjects. It’s a thrill to be apart of and this subject will set me up for my future profession.

I live off-campus and travel just over an hour each day to uni via car. My reasons for living off-campus was so I could still stay at home. However, living off-campus can become challenging as you haven?t got all facilities available to you at all times, and often the price of everything rapidly adds up.

I chose this tertiary institution as it was local to my rural home town meaning I didn't need to move away. The small scale of the institution also appealed to me, as I believed it would be less overwhelming than a larger uni. I applied through UAC while completing my year 12 VCE studies. I got accepted with a lower star mark than the expected entrance level. The application fee was included when applying through VTAC and covered all uni applications, including different institutions. I applied for multiple universities, and alongside this applied for two courses at the Charles sturt University.

I am living with my cousin for a present. I need to look for a room with the off campus. Looking near the city so that it will be easy to travel. And also if we live with friends we can be supportive of one another.

Nice one and learn more new things we can get more placements and it is a friend to nature and we grasp new things that would be useful for us. And also a nice staff who teaches and supports in every aspect.
