Wagga Wagga Campus

Bachelor of Health Science (Nutrition and Dietetics)

Hi, my name is Lauren Crocker and I am a first-year Bachelor of Health Science (Nutrition and Dietetics) student. I am from Benalla, Victoria and I really enjoyed studying nutrition at school, and am interested in the field as a career. I want to study in a regional area so CSU provided the perfect opportunity as I also wish to work in the country after I have graduated. I went to Wagga Wagga Campus for an open day every day tour which was fantastic. There are so many new things to look forward to!  I'm really excited about meeting new friends and settling into Uni life. I'm hoping to take up as much sport as possible.

Isaac Kinscher

Dubbo Campus

Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood and Primary)

Hi, my name is Isaac Kinscher and I am a first-year student studying at the CSU Dubbo Campus. I was very happy when I received notification of my early entry into the Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood and Primary). I have lived in Dubbo my entire life. I chose to study at CSU because I know many previous CSU graduates who thoroughly enjoyed their time there. Another plus to studying at the Dubbo campus is that I can keep my part-time job and continue living at home, which will help me save a few dollars. Being a socialite, I look forward to making new friends. Having looked at the O Week program I am looking forward to better acquainting myself with the campus and the people there.Read my blog and hear more about my orientation experience

Ellie McDonald

Bathurst Campus

Bachelor of Sport Studies /
Bachelor of Arts (Communication – Journalism)

Hi! My name is Ellie McDonald, and I am starting my first year studying at Charles Sturt University. I was so excited when I received my offer to study the Bachelor of Sport Studies/Bachelor of Arts (Communication - Journalism) at the Bathurst Campus. I finished year 12 in 2007 and took a year off just to make up my mind about which course I wanted to do. I chose CSU because the courses they have were the best options for me. I grew up just north of Sydney in Arcadia, so I will be living on campus. I know nobody up here in Bathurst, so the thing I am most excited about is making new friends! Go on... check out my blog !

Wade Selwood

Albury Campus

Bachelor of Information Technology

Hi, my name is Wade Selwood from Orange and I am a first year Bachelor of IT student. I was very happy when I received notification of my early entry at CSU’s Albury Campus. My two sisters went to CSU and told me how the University mixed the country lifestyle with the educational standards of the metropolitan universities and about its great student support system. I am looking forward to starting my course and meeting new people. I have looked over the O-Week program and will make sure I take the tours to find out where my classes are and find more information about the Campus. I am also looking forward to the bowling night as I am a State Tenpin Bowling Representative and have not long been back home from bowling in Malaysia.Read my blog
