What factors led you to study at past/current university?

From my perspective, that's close to the city.

Though for the city buses... yeah, I suppose.

Let's be a bit more realistic. Apart from the potential 10-15 minute wait at the bus stop, it still takes 15-25 minutes either way. And if you end up at Eddy Av, that's really the border of the city, so to get anywhere useful, you're still going have to travel a decent amount.

Is it worth the extra cost?

Well, if you get a MyMulti ticket you can do whatever. It's only $30 and it's great. Like... it covers the bus ride to the station, train rides to the city, bus rides to uni. And if I decide to go to the city after uni or on the weekends, I can use the same ticket. If I decide to visit another uni, I can use the same ticket...

It's great.

It's actually ~10 minutes walk from Redfern to USyd. I usually do it in less time.

And it's like a ~5 minute bus to the CBD, or a ~20 minute walk.

USyd is heaps closer to the city than UNSW.

So many people get MyMultis anyway so it wouldn't be much more of a cost.

10 minutes walk?

Hmm, my friend who goes there must be a slow walker then.

you learn something new every day

It is crazy electromagnetic radiation to feel the pressure and helpers instructed my place to put a new direction, did not help their fingers, and then yapping.

Yep.

Got off the train at ~7:51 at platform 12 (I think (It's the one underground)) and got to class at 8, and I didn't rush.

Except that the uni is so big u can easily spend another ten minutes getting to your class if its, say, in the quad or education building. Since you do engineering its no wonder you get to class that fast since the engineering block is the closest one to redfern trainstation.
