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
