But the real prize in the region is CSU's Thurgoona site. Thurgoona has received international attention for its environmentally sensitive design and focus on sustainable living. It stretches over 87 hectares including wetlands and has a distinct focus on native flora and fauna, and a herbarium.
Hundreds of internal students take advantage of the excellent facilities at the Albury City site, which include networked libraries, anatomy and physiology laboratories, and a podiatry clinic.
The city is about three hours' drive from Melbourne, Victoria's capital city. Even closer is the Murray River, Lake Hume and the snowfields.
