I was at LaTrobe for a year. Achieved sweet FA there...*but* it is irrefutably the best uni in Victoria - if not Australia - if not the world, because......
1. The coffee (at the best cafe at LaTrobe) is better than at that UniMelb place on Swanston St.
2. So is the focaccia
3. There's a good deal if you buy both 1. and 2.
4. If you arrive after 5.pm, sometimes you can get one of 2. for free.
5. The espresso machine has stickers that are very funny. If you're a leftie. (Which I was, at that point in time.)
6. You can get a nice Nasi Lemak for $3.50
7. There's a moat, lots of trees and several green spaces. Sooo much more of an attraction than Umelb's pretty sandstone buildings. I mean, if you're gonna be old, be, like, at least 600 years old.
8. Preston Market is nearer than the Vic Market is from Melb or Monash.
9. Rabelais is better than Farrago or Lot's Wife. (So opined someone writing in Rabelais.)
10. However slack you are with your uni work, the interminable tram journey on the 86 Line leaves you feeling you can justify treating yourself when you get to Brunswick St.
