On-campus food venues
At Charles Sturt University it’s our nature that makes us great. Charles Sturt campuses have a relaxed, friendly feel you can’t get anywhere else. The open nature of the people and landscape is a huge part of it. We’re not pretentious, we look out for each other, we say hi and have time to chat.
We provide a variety of fresh, healthy meals to keep you going. Our outlets on campus only accept contactless payment methods, not cash (with the exception of our Australia Post outlets).
