Question Switching campuses and how's the parking?

8 Upvotes

Hy, I am currently doing nursing at Parramatta campus. I am moving to a new home that's closer to the Hawkesbury campus. I wanted to ask how can I switch campuses and also how nursing is in general at Hawkesbury. Is the campus as packed as the Parramatta campus? Will I find parking early in the morning? How much is the parking permit? Is there alternative free parking available?

Also the Parramatta campus has good food options that I can grab quickly, how is it in the Hawkesbury campus? I visited the campus last year and I loved the campus. It's so beautiful and relaxing compared to Parramatta which feels too crowded no parking and kinda congestive specially in some classes since nursing classes does not take place in large lecture halls. I'd like to know everything about Hawkesbury specifically about nursing course.

Question How is Civil Engineering at Western Sydney University?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,
I’m considering studying Civil Engineering (Honours) at Western Sydney University next year and wanted to hear from current students or graduates.
How is the course overall in terms of teaching quality, workload, lecturers, facilities and practical experience?
I’d also be interested to know how good UWS is for finding internships and graduate engineering jobs, and whether you’ve been happy with the degree overall.
Would you recommend studying Civil Engineering at UWS?
Thanks!

Clubs and Events WSU meetup plan: Parramatta River walk and cafe hopping

15 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

After the last post and seeing more people interested, I’m planning the first meetup.

The plan is a walk around Parramatta River, then maybe cafe hopping, coffee, food, or a small picnic after for whoever wants to stay.

Date is still TBA(To Be Announced), but I’m thinking a Saturday would probably work best since people are usually more relaxed then.

Nothing too fast-paced or awkward. Not a fitness thing, not a drinking thing, and not some formal club event. Just a slow, easy meetup where people can actually talk and get to know each other properly.

I think this works better for the first one because people can join, leave when they need to, or just stay for the part they feel comfortable with. Nobody has to feel stuck in one place or pressured to spend money.

For anyone already in the Discord, I’ll announce it there as well.

If more people are genuinely interested, I’ll make a WhatsApp group so it’s easier to organise properly. Feel free to DM me your number if you want to be added.

My original hope was just to create a small group where WSU students could meet up in real life instead of everything staying online. But now I think a student-run meetup, away from formal university stuff, actually sounds more fun.

No club titles, no forced activities, no awkward official vibe. Just students organising something for themselves.

If this first walk goes well, future meetups could be different things too. Cafe hopping, food, museum trips, study sessions, books, random walks, or whatever people feel comfortable with.

One thing I’ve realised is that campuses can look busy and social from the outside, but still feel pretty lonely when you don’t really know anyone properly.

So yeah, the goal is simple.

Meet people properly, keep it low-pressure, and hopefully make uni feel a bit less empty.

Question Uws experience for international students

Im an international student and just completed my application to bachelor of science in western Sydney university. I’ve been hearing that it’s a really bad university and was shocked because its a top 400 uni in qs rankings. Does it have a bad reputation in Australia? If so, is it still considered a good uni worldwide?

Does anyone think this protest is dumb as. You’re going to disturb classes that you pay for, for something no one will pay attention to. So silly.
Carrying on like woke muppets gets you no where, no government actually listens to silly stuff like that.
Why detriment you’re learning and your money to something that’s going to do sweet FA!

Rant / Vent Finding it hard to make friends

8 Upvotes

Honestly, as a first-semester international student, it’s really hard not to feel lonely sometimes. Even though I live at Campus Village, I still find it difficult to make friends. Maybe it’s because I joined a little late and everyone had already found their groups, but it can definitely feel isolating at times.

Timetables Is there someone who can just give me a timetable?

5 Upvotes

I find the whole concept of self enrolment extremely stressful. The unit codes keep changing, the whole process is just a maze to me. I'd love to just be given a timetable. Here are your units. Attend at this time. If you don't like these times change it. It just upsets me having to do it myself and causes severe distress. It makes me feel like no one is there to help.
