mine's probably gonna take me like an hour an a half, depending on how long i have to wait for a train either at granville or at central.

i'm actually not 100% sure how long it'll take me to get to North Sydney

Probably 40-60 minutes by train, then 30 minutes to wait for the bus and to get to uni..
I assume you're going to UNSW, the UNSW bus comes like every 2 mintues to central.

For me 1hr 10min one way to uni. So total about 2hr 20min.

Alright I lied about the 30 minute wait for the bus then. I just assumed because when I went to UNSW for Open Day the line was long so I had to wait.

I heard it's gonna be shit to get to MQ by public transport if you live in the South-West? MQ is one of my preferences for the final round.

It'll take you 1 hour 20/30 mins depending where you are. I thought that was a pain until I saw this thread.

One way, 30min train ride then bus to UNSW. So about 45-50 mins in total. Also time from travel from home to station will depend on whether i drive to station or walk. ranging from 5-20mins.

I have to take a bus to get to and from Macq U, a one-way trip is around 40-50 mins for me it isn't all that much of a long trip as much as it sounds, mabye cause I've been catching buses for the past 6 yrs, every day I'd have to make the 1.5-2 hr trip to school and back, so I got used to it. But one thing I never get used to is waiting for buses. For buses that are 10, 15, 20 mins late and also buses that fail to arrive at all ><
