La Trobe - a street or a university?




...A University... La Trobe University has a couple of campuses, but neither of them are located on La Trobe Street in the Melbourne CBD...in fact, RMIT is located there.

STILL - Check out La Trobe University – it is one of our ISEP partners. ISEP Exchange spaces may be available in the future, but this is always an option as an ISEP Direct program. This campus is located in the neighborhood of Bundoora, which takes about 45 min on public transportation to get to the city center of Melbourne. It is a very pretty campus, with lots of open 'park-like' spaces, and a community feel. Their goal is to “deliver socially responsible, inclusive, relevant and radical teaching, learning, and research.” They are known for their services for students, and offer programs in five faculties: Health Science, Humanities and Social Science, Law & Management, Education and Science, Technology and Engineering. They actually have 3 campuses, and outdoor education students might want to look at their Bendigo Campus to learn about their Outdoor Education and Adventure Program.

Interesting Fact: they have three residence halls that they recommend for international students. In each of these halls, you have your own cafeteria, and student organization. In this way, each hall becomes its’ own little community
