bubz :D
the last laugh
wasnt; that today?! oh wait it depends on what course you do doesn't it 
*smacks head*
in the uac guide it says the easiest way to get to campbelltown is get off at macarthur station & catch a bus? maybe you should check the site (it's not too helpful though)
bloody hell i got COMPLETELY lost today, i caught the train to campbelltown station (took soooo long, i live near the city), and on the uws website it says there are buses from the station to the campus, so i assumed they meant campbelltown station.
i walked outside, and asked a busdriver which bus goes to uws, and he's like, get on this one (and he made me pay full fare! even though i had my concession card!)
he said he'd tell me when we got to uws, and my sister called me so i wasn't paying much attention to where we were going
and then the busdriver goes, "ok, get out here and walk up. *points*"
i get off, walk where he pointed me... and it's the bloody TAFE campus O___o
luckily it's right next to uws. but i didn't know this lol so i went into tafe, wandered around for a while looking for an office, until a few oldish men (in uniform) rescued me adn told me to walk down the road and i wouldn't miss teh uni. took me about 15mins to walk.
lol i found the enrolment building at around 11:45 or so (i was meant to be there at 9:30, i completely missed the lecture) -__-
have fun!!

Its prolly best to catch the train to macathur station, and u can actually see the uni from the station.
They do have a uni shuttle bus, but i am not sure how frequently they run now a days. You don't catch the shuttle bus from where the normal buses are. Just walk towards the underground tunnel and next to it, you will see stairs on ur right. Climb up to the top and wait where the seats are under the shelter thingy. Hopefully a shuttle bus should come at least every half an hour or so, but i am not sure how reliable they are in the holidays.

man i got lost too.....i got to campbelltown, looked around for bus stop for uws, kept lookin kept lookin for like 2 hours...then asked 2 bus drivers.....the bus for uws is through the tunnel, then the opposite side of the block (square)........and then across the road at a park..........its like 10 mins walk......and even then i got off at the sign....which i then accidentally walked into tafe....which i notice immediately, but though ill go get a drink from canteen.....then i walked all the way to uws, got the handbook, but then i waited for bus at the bus stop in front of uws....which never came while i was waiting, so i walked all the way to macarthur station, which i was scared shitlesss (scared of heights) cause the wooden planks were bending and squeeking everytime i took a step....as in really literally bending...i left blacktown station at 9 and got back at 2:30 lolz...even if i just went to get handbook, lucky i went to test how long and how to get there, or else i would of been really really late for enrolments (my enrolment is this wednesday)
theres a pathway from mac station to the uni. It leads right from the station to the uni. However ive heard a couple of stories about people getting bashed up on it. But it always looks ok to me. U get off the train at Macathur and go up the walky thing. And head away from the shopping centre, and eventually u will get to the uni.
Easy peasy.

glycerine
so don't even ask me
go to macarthur station, you will not 'get bashed up' on it, i grew up in that area and it's perfectly fine. it's the same as a lot of 'bad' areas, don't go looking for trouble and you'll be okay.
reason why i dont like to go to macarthur is cause, i dont have a direct train there...i would have to get off at campbelltown and change trains...lolz and i dont feel like bring my laptop to uni anymore....if i have to walk that path...

In all fairness, as ohne said, daytime isn't too bad, however you couldn't pay me to walk through there at night.
