Is train/tram recommended? I've heard that parking is hard to find (I'm not an early bird...)

Im catching the 8:13 train from geelong to get there :\, hopefully my friend actually knows what tram to catch to get to UoM from the train station, lol.Tram number 19 is what I normally use.
8:13 train is probably going to arrive at like 9:15ish (according to the vline website anyway...) I think most of the open day stuff starts at 10 :/

There will be plenty of stuff to do earlier. If his train arrives at Southern Cross at 9.15, he won't be at the uni before 9.40 anyway.

I'm going! Probably to check out actuary and maybe biomed :)
Is train/tram recommended? I've heard that parking is hard to find (I'm not an early bird...)
If you want to drive, the Eastern Precinct Car Park is the cheapest: 5 bucks for the whole day (access is from Cardigan Street near Elgin Street). There is always parking available there. Uni square car parking is 7 bucks, but you might not find a park there (although I'm not sure how it is on weekends).

BUT they need more room in biomed, i was too crammed in one corner :(
It had to be held in a theatre in the med building and the Sunderland is the biggest one there. The 10am session was practically empty compared to the 1pm session

Finally! An Open Day at UoM were there wasn't inclement weather.
Yeah, when I got there I immediately went for espresso and everyone was all "OMG SUN"

I was mainly hanging around the maths and physics buildings, talking to people there. There was a really interesting guy (graduate student or phd student I believe) that was working on the ATLAS project, had a good hour long chat with him.
I did go to the engineering area - that room was packed and really stuffy.
Did anyone else buy that MAV maths revision book they were selling? I've heard MAV are kind of easy, but I ended up buying the specialist book anyway; so I had some questions to take a look at over the next few months/early next year.

lol, i still remember going to that actuarial sample lecture, he uses the same example each year....
All I remember was something like this:
Sif same example each year :/
