Sydney University Sport and Fitness So, this is all coming from a guy who falls over when walking on flat surfaces. I’m not exactly an authoritative word on Sydney University Sport and Fitness. However, if you find exercise more than a punishment (or just really want to try the rock climbing wall) – then SUSF has you covered. There are two gyms on campus, and a heap of sporting teams and activities to get involved in!
introductory padding that made up my first three or so weeks at uni. But I can tell you every party I went to, every club that I joined that I’m still a member of, and the people I met along the way. I sincerely welcome you to the University of Sydney. Enjoy your courses, but if you can’t, enjoy the beer.
Why should I get involved? Not going to lie – I left this question sitting on my screen for a good minute, staring at it without writing an answer. I want to yell a million things at you – Friends!

Lonely? – there are thousands of friends for you in bars, on lawns, in classes and in theatres across the uni. There is just a metric fucktonne of stuff for you to do. And that is amazing. And what’s more – it’s unique.
