Campus crash course

莫陌2电影

The University is huge – especially when you first arrive. Main campus alone is practically its own suburb nestled between Camperdown and Darlington, complete with its own postcode (2006, represent). Finding your classes can be tough enough – but where can you go in-between?

Sitting atop Manning House, the famous bar is a haven for students taking a break. You’ll find plenty of pub-fun like trivia, live music and Theatresports. It also boasts a top-tier balcony with prime rooftop views of the Quad glistening in the sunlight.

Home to the USU, Manning Bar attracts plenty of club and society gatherings. Watch out or you might just get recruited. At night you’ll find crowds of music lovers revelling at one of the many gigs held throughout the year.

Perfectly situated on the walk from Redfern Station, Cadigal Green (aka Maze Green) is a great spot to soak up some sunshine. Though you might have good intentions, the banana lounges will almost always have you drifting off to sleep rather than looking over your notes. Try listening to a podcast instead.

Local ibises rule these parts. The leafy surrounds of Maze Green attract plenty of bird life, so hide your lunch if you intend on a nap. You’ll also find a number of solo students studying quietly, enjoying the tranquil views of the Old School Building.

Right in the heart of main campus, the Law Lawns are the perfect place to perch to people-watch the endless procession of students and staff up and down Eastern Avenue. Between the weekly markets and events hosted by the USU there’s always some entertainment to burn through the time between classes.

Given its central location, you’ll find many clubs, societies and individuals doing their thing. On any given day you can expect bake sales to raise money for state championships, artists showcasing their works or passionate activists out to make change; right here is beating heart of the University.

The pride of the Holme Building, you’d be forgiven for thinking you’d wandered off campus and found yourself at a Scandinavian-inspired inner west café. Courtyard is bright, airy and colourful making it a perfect contrasting retreat from dark lecture theatres, with a top lunch menu to boot. Try the pizza.

With its long bench tops, Courtyard is a great place to strike up a random conversation. You’ll probably run into a group of students from one of your classes or staff members from the northernmost edge of campus.

The University’s unofficial park, Victoria Park is another tranquil place to take it easy throughout the day and feed some ducks (and eels). If you’ve packed your swimmers you could go for a dip at the outdoor pool, but most will find a spot under one of the many huge shady trees to picnic. If you do feel like getting active though, there’s ample space for kicking a ball or tossing a frisbee.

Lots of locals take their pups on their mid-morning walk. You might also catch some fitspiration from dedicated boot-campers exercising their hearts out. On a lucky day, you might even see crews of Engineering students practising their surveying skills (that’s what those big yellow tripods are for).

Hidden away on Level 4 of the Wentworth Building, this is a great indoor spot to go if you (or your mum) packed your lunch. There are microwaves to heat up your food and tables, chairs and beanbags aplenty to help get you comfy. It’s a relaxed environment in the lounge with a mixture of students studying and socialising.

You’ll be sure to spot some students huddled around tables sorting out group assignments as the International Student Lounge is regular meeting point. It’s also where you’ll find the campus pool sharks sinking balls between classes.

Perhaps the epicentre of the Darlington side of main campus, Hermann’s is a smaller, more intimate watering hole than Manning. The grass outside the bar is great for a quick picnic, serviced by a plethora of eateries just inside Wentworth’s doors.

It tends to be larger than life on a Thursday afternoon when engineering and business students flock to unwind after class, and clubs and societies gather.

The pathway that parts the ovals right outside the Charles Perkins Centre is another scenic spot on campus. It’s quiet and relaxing making it a wonderful outdoor spot to get some work done amongst towering, shady gum trees. With Ralph’s Cafe only a stone’s throw away, there’s coffee at your fingertips and if you’re lucky, you might catch some live sport on one of the ovals, home to the Uni’s rugby, soccer, cricket and AFL teams.

One of the Uni’s canine celebrities, Sally the Blue Heeler, lives by the old groundskeeper’s cottage along the walkway. She happily greets all passers-by with a wag of the tail, so say hi if you see her. You might also get to see some elite athletes being put through their paces in a training session on the ovals.

Nestled between the engineering buildings on the Darlington side of the University, Link Lawn is the chill out zone for our more ‘left side of the brain’ thinkers. With plenty of sun and BBQ facilities, it’s the perfect spot  for cramming, recharging and socialising. For the more zen-focused students, there’s a rock garden surrounded by palm trees only a few meters away.

诸城润百谦科技有限公司

Keep an eye out for our resident robots, RIPPA and Ladybird, as they show off their navigational skills on the lawn. You’ll also see engineering and IT students setting up mass battery recharge stations on the communal tables.

The Depot is your one-stop-shop for all your snacks and drinks but the coolest thing they do is supply colourful beanbags. All you need to do is show your student card and you can be relaxing under the trees on the lawns in a large comfy beanbag. And the best part is, it's free.

The lawns near The Depot is a central location so you're bound to run into your classmates relaxing and having lunch.  Cumberland Campus is small and friendly, so after a while everyone will be a familiar face.
