Which university is the largest by area? Just curious, because i got lost in UNSW because it was so big.

 

[hipsta_jess]

Newcastle- Callaghan: 140 hectares

Newcastle- Ourimbah: 80 hectares.

 

[Cape]

Hawkesbury UWS -1300 hectares

 

[Cape]

They would be massive ... thats one uni which you would be bound to get lost in!

all the campuses are there as well.

 

[Lainee]

Most of that is probably open grassland anyway.

 

[Cape]

Actually it isn't ... richmond campus is on a farm with a vineyard and scarey looking cows

plus it beats cerment everywhere!

Fuck how big would UWS be if you put all the campuses together

Second largest uni in aus

 

[Cape]

then whats the largest in aus?

 

[TimeAndTide]

So UNSW is nothing. I'm pathetic.

 

[absolution*]

UTS would no doubt be the smallest

 

[Lexicographer]

ACU is a national university, with campi spread across the country.

And UTS has Kuring-Gai campus. Not that big, but still big enough with City campus I should think to beat Macquarie.

pfft. UWS is everywhere and can't even find a decent place to build a unified uni

pfft. UWS is everywhere and can't even find a decent place to build a unified uni

Or decent places to build a fragmented uni.

i tohught it would be the australian defence academy -- which is sorta considered a university

 

[MoNNiE]

hmm..
i know their engineering degrees are from unsw..
but didn't know usyd owned the campus

 

[Xayma]

No. The academic is UNSW.

Anyway it only has 1000 or so people. Not that big.

The ADF owns the campus. But a fair bit of it's facilites are at RMC, meaning it doesn't have as large an area.

Monash is the largest in Australia.

 

[braindrainedAsh]

UTS isn't small, sheesh! It has several campuses (city, haymarket, kuring gai, plus they own blackfriars)!

CSU albury is so small lol. Even with Thurgoona campus. So is La Trobe Wodonga.... but CSU and La Trobe have large campuses in other areas.

Monash is the largest in Australia.

Interesting question. Monash is supposedly Australia's biggest university although I think it relates to student population: 54 000 students (including 16, 000 international students) at eight campuses - including six in Australia, one in Malaysia and one in South Africa.

I would not think Monash's main campuses in Melbourne would be rated as large in terms of land size as I think it's quite small or at least 'standard'.
