You’ve arrived at Curtin.
You’ve found your first class.
But now you’re looking around thinking:
Where is everything else?
Curtin’s Bentley campus is big, and it’s completely normal to feel a little lost during your first few weeks.
In the latest episode of I’m at Curtin, Now What?, Musa and Kristel explore both the north and south sides of campus, helping you get familiar with important student spots and some lesser-known places that can make your day on campus easier.
Here are a few things to know when navigating Curtin.
Understanding the north and south sides of campus
Curtin’s campus is often described in two halves: the north side and the south side.
Many students spend most of their time on one side depending on their faculty buildings, which can make the other half feel unfamiliar.
Musa and Kristel walk across both sides of campus to show how they connect and what you’ll find in each area, making it easier to understand how everything fits together.
Finding key student locations
There are a few places almost every student ends up visiting during the semester.
These include:
- Study spaces and libraries
- Food and coffee spots
- Student services and support areas
- Places to relax between classes
Knowing where these are early can make campus life much smoother, especially during busy weeks.
Discovering hidden campus spots
Curtin also has plenty of places that students often discover later in the semester.
Musa and Kristel highlight a few areas around campus where you can take a break, meet friends or find a peaceful place to study.
Sometimes the best places on campus are the ones you don’t notice at first.
The best way to learn campus
The easiest way to get comfortable navigating Curtin is simply to explore.
Walk between classes instead of rushing straight home.
Try different study spots.
Take a different route across campus.
After a few weeks, the places that once felt confusing quickly start to feel familiar.
