It is very convenient - located right in the heart of Sydney. I’ve met so many different people from all over the world, so many different cultures. This has given me a different perspective on life. As for the lecturers, they are very helpful and surprisingly friendly. They use real life examples when teaching to help you understand concepts easier.
If you are planning to come and study in Australia, I would say just do it! It’s been a real life-changing experience for me and will be for you, too. LaTrobe University Sydney Campus provides a great environment for studying.

How to budget Budgeting is about knowing your weekly income, calculating how much you need for essentials and what’s left over, and setting aside savings for unexpected expenses. Before you start uni, try writing up a weekly or monthly estimate of your income and expenses. Estimate how much money you’ll have each week from your job, parents, Centrelink and/or scholarship and how much you’ll spend–include everything! Then work out how much cash you’ll need each week for day-to-day expenses, and only ever withdraw this amount. Get more tips on our website: latrobe.edu.au/students/new-students/ready4uni
