La Trobe University, Melbourne Campus

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.

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.

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.

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.
