Each campus is ''best'' for different things e.g. Parramatta campus is the best uni for law and commerce whereas campbelltown is better for science and medicine.
But in terms of overall experience, from personal experience myself and from what others have to say, I believe that Parramatta is the best campus. Its not as big as campbelltown but the atmosphere is really nice. Heaps of friendly people and the whole setting of the university is very inviting. Heaps of cafes which means you''ll be spending a lot of time socialising with friends and meeting new people on your breaks :D

I've been to 3 of them, Campbelltown was the most relaxing; while bankstown was the worse :/ felt like a cramped environment.

Bankstown seemed a bit anti-social.. i don't know it's just this vibe.
Parramatta had a more friendly atmosphere and people were actually helpful, just my experience tho.. don't take my word for it LOL.

Campbelltown is hands down relaxing. Definitely chill and laidback. Traffic is really good and you get parking, also when catching the train, you normally get a 3 seater to yourself and can even put your feet up. Classes are a lot smaller than Parramatta.
Parramatta, a ton more people, definitely more of a social life, parking is really bad though. Also really hard to get to depending on where you live (I live in South west Sydney, so had to catch 3 buses or a combination of buses and trains to get to campus)

Weigh the pros and cons. In terms of social life, both campuses have it. Parramatta seems a lot more alive IMO but Ctown still has a really great atmosphere. PASS is also really big in Parra. My grades jumped when I changed campuses (maybe due to my change in attitude as well).

Yes must agree with the public transport thing. It is an absolute nightmare to get to parra from where I live. South Sydney...2 trains and a bus. An hour and fourty minutes! Driving in peak hour won't be a better option imo and parking on campus is really crap unless you rock up to uni at 8:30am...then and only then will you easily find parking. Otherwise, parra campus is awesome in all other aspects. I guess my previous post in this thread says it all lol.

Campbelltown: Pretty relaxed and relaxed but the thing is its pretty big and most of it feels like a rainforest so if you want a stronger atmosphere and a feel of civillisation CampB if not then no.

Parramatta: Friendly place i really like the approach to students i had here, high class buildings and is definitely the campus to meet more people in a city like environment.

Bankstown: Also a nice place, it is much smaller than others but it gives of a cozy effect like everyone is together- you will definitely be more closer with the people here. PS, Personally the food i had was the best here, so if you love food dig In!

parra campus looks gud from outside but from inside its so small and congested and they dont have any place to play any sport, parra campus is just overrated, bankstown is small and modern but only one cafe, there should be more places for food due to its location which is 10km away from centro

Too bad my degrees only in parra.
