Relative Sizes of Uni's (1 Viewer)

[untying_average]

Hey I was wondering are the major universities all around the same size or are some significantly bigger than others? If so which are the larger and smaller uni's?
(And by size, i mean both amount of people and area of uni)

Newcastle Uni apparently has just over 20,000
callaghan campus is 140 hectares and ourimbah is 80 hectares.

Usyd is far too big...
I should've went to uts

 

[iambored]

i know some are significantly smaller and bigger than others, i just don't know exact numbers

mac has something like 30 000

Thats about right, except for the UTS bit...even if you combine all the buildings, its a pretty small "area"
I'm sure Newcastle, Wollongong are bigger than UTS

In terms of student size..UNSW has over 40,000 students (24% international students, biggest proportion out of all uni's in Australia)

Wollongong is pretty small, which is good since most lectures are pretty small in size and you can stop the lecturer for questions, unlike big unis.

USyd is alot larger if you count student numbers, but i think the campus size is similar.

Usyd looks like a ghost town at night.

Because some of the buildings are so old. *Spooky*!

UTS is small in land size, but still manages to have around 26000 students .

I know CSU isnt a major uni but what it lacks in size it makes up for in nightlife! At Bathurst there are about 3000 students, 1000 of those live on campus.. so you can see our bar nights can get quite large!

I thought Usyd was the largest (in terms of area) uni in australia?

 

[santaslayer]

UNSW seems huge..........maybe coz its built on a hill or something

 

[Raiks]

UOW has roughly 16,000 ppl on campus. What about UWS, surely they must be educating some massive numbers due to the amount of campuses they have.

Or cause it takes longer to walk up said hill

In terms of size, Monash Clayton is biggest but RMIT has largest number of enrollments.

The answer to the size of USyd depends a bit on how much you include, as there are bits of it all over the place. Remember how a while back Nelson was going to give extra funding to 'regional universities', and Newcastle and Wollongong were so pissed off about it (because they didn't qualify)? That funding went (in NSW) to only three Unis, UNE, CSU and USyd - because it has a campus at Orange. So, for size of USyd, it really depends what you want to count.

I think we're only counting the main ones.
