are of less value than those of city-based counterparts.
• A separate space for GEP students• Sport and recreation facilities that are usable,
affordable and suitable to the needs of the University community.
• Better public transport after hours• More after-hours activities• More exposure to career and employment
opportunities
What do the students of Gippsland need?
• A developed space- proposed in the 7N Area, for Post Graduate and International Students recreation and general usage.
• Increased availability of prescribed reading materials in the library
• Greater, healthier range of food choices available at existing food services on campus.
• Greater support for Monash’s only regional campus, from its better known city counterparts.
• Updating on campus accommodation
