Vic Campus Life

I travel to university by car. Now, I thought that would be a lot better than the train – not having to sit near or be squished by complete strangers, no weird smells, drunks etc etc.

I also only need to travel from Werribee to St Albans Victoria University campus, which would and should only take half an hour max. I cannot believe how terrible the traffic is!!!!!! Not only do lanes disappear along the way, leaving cars and trucks merging and stuck, but there are roadworks that either take away another lane or slow down the speed limit to 60km/h! I seem to be the only idiot following the new speed limit though, leaving my travel time to uni all over the place!

According to Vic Roads, I’ll be finished uni by the time the roadworks are supposed to done anyway!

I understand there are roadworks on the way to Deakin University in Waurn Ponds that severely slow down the traffic flow. I know this sounds silly but couldnt the roads have been built right in the first place???

 So anyway, when I do finally arrive to uni - fashionably late, I then have the fun of finding a park! I know that many other uni’s have to pay for parking and I am glad that I dont have to pay another stupid fee but couldnt they tell how many students were going to come to the uni when they were building it and then measure up the carpark to suit that????

So this ended up becoming a bit of a rant!!!
