Most La Trobe students are in Melbourne, at the big Bundoora campus. The Sydney campus is different: a small city-centre site teaching a focused set of business and IT degrees to mostly international students. You graduate with the same La Trobe degree as students in Victoria. Classes are small and the CBD location puts part-time jobs within walking distance.

The campus is a teaching building in the CBD, not a leafy campus, so students rely on the city for libraries, food and social life. Central Station and trams are close.
Sydney is Australia's most expensive city for rent. Many students share apartments in the inner west or south-west to save money.
