Hey, my name is Jasmin
and I’d like to welcome you today to the Magill campus,
here at UniSA
I am currently studying a double degree in
Human Resource management and Psychological Science
and I have been based here at the Magill campus
for four years now
I’ve got to say though, when I started here,
it was a little bit overwhelming
because the campus is quite big
But I can now say,
I pretty much know the campus like a back of my hand
Today I want to take you guys on a campus tour,
and hopefully by the end,
you’ll know the campus a little bit better
So, let’s go!
Something really unique about this campus is that
it’s so green,
everywhere you look there’s always places to sit out,
and especially in summer,
you’ll see students studying outside all the time
There’re trees and birds everywhere
and if you are lucky in Summer,
you might even see a Koala or two
hanging out in the trees
After crossing over that bridge,
you’ll make it to Campus Central
so Campus Central is open
from 8:30 AM to 6:00 PM every evening,
and they are here to answer
any questions that you may have
Next to campus central is the Q-building,
which is the Student Engagement Unit
The Student Engagement Unit are here if you need
any personal counselling or career counselling
and they can also help you out
with any academic problems you may be having
I am actually behind the Campus Central right now
and I am at D1-20,
which is the main auditorium here at the Magill campus
The auditorium has a number of purposes,
but as a first year student,
you’ll probably find yourself in here a lot
as this is where a lot of first year lectures are held
If you are looking for a space
to meet up with friends and have a coffee,
we have got two cafés here at Magill
We’ve also got the large cafeteria area
where you can play a game of pool
or sit down and get some work done
Now, I’ve brought you guys into my favorite place on campus,
which is the USASA counter
and surprisingly enough
a lot of students actually don’t know that it’s here
USASA is the UniSA Student Association
and they are here to represent you
through anything throughout the year
They have a bunch of services, like,
second hand text book sales and advocacy,
but one of the great things is that
specially here at Magill,
they have a lounge area where you can hang out and
it’s a great way to meet new people
Right now they are actually promoting
their big Halloween party which is happening,
so the counter is looking a little bit more
dressed up than normal
I should also mention that USASA has a bunch of
freebies that you can grab every year
So they normally have their diary and the wall planner,
but there's also pens and lots of other little things
that you can grab for free
USASA have a little kitchen at here which is really great
if you ever want to heat up some food
or come, grab a tea or coffee
There’s also a kitchen available
in the student common room
and also in the library
So speaking of the library,
that's where I am going to take you guys next…
To get to the library from USASA,
you just have to follow the corridor all the way up,
until you see the first set of stairs after security
I’d like to welcome you guys to the library, here at Magill
They have done some upgrades recently
and there’s a lot of really great spaces to work
This is actually one of my favourite places to study,
there are tables at the back if you wish to do group discussions
but there’s also separate areas for silent work
One of my favourite things to do when I want to study here though,
is to actually book out a private room
You can do that through the library’s website
and then you can book that for up to two hours at a time
Right now I’m sitting out on the courtyard,
and again this is another place
a lot of students don’t actually know exists
When the weather is really nice,
it’s really cool to come and sit out here
and try get some work done
Overall, I’ve got to say that the library has got heaps of great resources
and if you have any questions
you can ask some of the friendly library staff
through the ‘Ask the library’ service
A lot of students just assume
that the library is it at this floor,
but if you turn around and follow this corridor through
I can show you guys some places
you might not have known were there
Here you can see the Television studio
which has some really cool technology in there,
as well as that we also have the radio studio
where students broadcast on the ‘UniCast’ radio
Finally, you make your way to the end of the corridor,
you’ll find some of our computer pods
which you can use when doing assignments
There are also rooms here that are
sometimes booked out for classes
So, I have just left the main building
and I am back outside
I’ve got one more place that I want to show you guys
I am currently outside the UniSA gym
here at the Magill campus
This gym is open to the public
but if you are a student
you get a huge discount on membership
so it’s definitely something worth looking into
We also have an ‘Allied Health Clinic’
here in this building as well
There’re lots of services available here to students,
such as, podiatry and physiotherapy services
I want to thank you guys
for joining me on the tour of the Magill campus today
I hope you learnt something new
and I absolutely love this campus
and I know you’ll feel the same way as well
