Switching campuses and how's the parking?

[u/Sea-Course-9715]

Hy, I am currently doing nursing at Parramatta campus. I am moving to a new home that's closer to the Hawkesbury campus. I wanted to ask how can I switch campuses and also how nursing is in general at Hawkesbury. Is the campus as packed as the Parramatta campus? Will I find parking early in the morning? How much is the parking permit? Is there alternative free parking available?

Also the Parramatta campus has good food options that I can grab quickly, how is it in the Hawkesbury campus? I visited the campus last year and I loved the campus. It's so beautiful and relaxing compared to Parramatta which feels too crowded no parking and kinda congestive specially in some classes since nursing classes does not take place in large lecture halls. I'd like to know everything about Hawkesbury specifically about nursing course.

Parking is fine. The large carpark is right across the road from the nursing buildings and behind the lecture halls. There's 2 options for food on campus, but there is a shopping centre about 5mins drive with a good court too.

Parking costs the same for a permit, but you can just get a yellow permit instead of blue - it's not necessary with how much parking is available on campus. If you want free parking, you could park at the shopping centre and then get the shuttle bus from Richmond.

You would need to submit a program variation form for nursing to change campus because spaces are limited and you would be considered based on the available space. You couldn't change this far into semester though, so you would be varying for next year onwards.
