Uni Bar!!! short bus/train trip to centre of sydney where you can explore and find good cafes, restaurants and bars! Darling harbour has a great atmosphere at night.
The uni is right next to a big shopping centre, with a huge food court, and cloth stores

I drove, and to buy a parking permit was a little bit expensive, however free parking was available on the surrounding streets of the campus.

Final comments
Macquarie is a beautiful uni. it is open and on a big campus. There is so much to do, and it really is about getting involved to make the most of it. There is a large international student base, so there are many cultures to learn about!
Lectures and tutorials are pretty reasonable. You can listen to them online if you missed them/ forgot what happened. Getting in contact with teachers is easy if you need help.
