Charles Sturt University (Port Macquarie Campus) REVIEW - An Unbiased Review by Choosing Your Uni

Australia has a lot of fantastic universities located outside the big cities. We call them "regional" universities.
There are advantages to being at a regional university: the campuses tend to be smaller and the communities tend to be tighter knit. Pace of life is a little slower, meaning there's just a bit less stress and pressure overall.
And that's definitely the case at Charles Sturt University's Port Macquarie campus.
"Port", as it's known by the locals, is a beautiful little seaside city 4 hours north of Sydney.
The university has some real areas of strength that you'll discover as we check out the campus. If you're keen on being more than just a number at a university, this might be a good option for you!

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Charles Sturt reimbursed my travel expenses to get from Sydney to Port Macquarie (petrol and a night of accommodation). It's unlikely I would have otherwise made it to this campus because it's not on my "usual" work travel route. Critically, CSU didn't pay me for this project and didn't have any input or editorial control over this video or other videos that I filmed at the same time.
Who cares? I do. I believe it's importantly to be upfront if any of your content has been supported in any way, so I wanted to be transparent with you because nothing will make me compromise on my core value of providing independent analysis that helps you with your choice of uni.
I love your questions - so don't be afraid to ask me anything down below and I'll get back to you!

This university is in which city?

[@ChoosingYourUni]

CSU is multi-campus. It has campuses in quite a few towns across regional NSW. This campus is in Port Macquarie, a 4-hour drive north of Sydney.

How is bare employment stats relevant, i find it a misleading figure uni marketing teams spruke. Is the employment in the field you studied or any paid employment eg Macca's etc. My uni offered jobs to my entire cohort to boost the figure. The jobs were short term garbage projects but it was an expense the uni paid to give themselves better stats. CSU should be better off as the courses like nursing etc are vocational and in high demand worldwide.

[@ChoosingYourUni]

That's an interesting point and I agree that a straight statistic like "graduate employment level" can be hard to interpret.
What's important here is to dive down into the discipline-specific details on compared.edu.au and to check graduate employment rates for the discipline area you want to study. The devil is always in the detail so it pays to do research!
