Macquarie can be easily accessed by public transport. We have our very own Sydney Metro train station on the corner of Herring Road and University Avenue, which is a two-minute walk to campus.
There are several public bus stops within the campus boundary on University Avenue that connect Macquarie to the rest of Sydney.
