In this episode, I look at some of the features of La Trobe that you might want to consider when deciding whether the university and its courses are right for you.

  • What is La Trobe's Bundoora campus like? I talk about the campus itself, including its natural environment, and why the physical environment of a university is worth considering when you're choosing where to study.

  • Can your university environment affect your student experience? For some students, having access to green space and a natural environment may be an important part of creating a university experience that supports their wellbeing while they study.
