The Wagga campus is the logical choice for those who grew up in the Riverina but also attracts students from across the country.

The university excels in many academic fields but past and present students might remember the campus for some of its more unusual characteristics. 

We have compiled the top 13 signs you've been to CSU Wagga campus with a little help from those in the know. If you have any more that you would like to add, please contact us at online@dailyadvertiser.com.au.

Do any of these sound familiar?

1. You've made the trek over the hill and claimed it as your exercise for the day.

From the library to Joyes Hall, the classrooms to the accommodation. There's only one way to get from one side of campus to the other and that's over the hill. It's quite a trek and by the time you've gone from one side to the other, the feeling is something that resembles the pride a marathon runner feels upon completion. The university is equipped with its own gym but who needs that when the walk and hill sprints are just as good of a work out? 

2. You've had a drunken ride on the bus back to south campus.

The university is often host to some fabulous on campus parties (hello, toga night) but as it is a decent taxi fare back into town for a uni student to part with, often the only way to continue the party is catch the uni bus to south campus. We have all been there. It's the ride that feels like it may never end, bumping along terrible university roads and that long stretch back into town. And all for what? To end up back at south campus? In the middle of nowhere. If you are lucky you might get the bus that travels into town but if you end up back at south campus, we all know it's a pretty decent way to ruin your buzz.

3. You've misspelled Joyes Hall at least once.

When you are cramming your brain full of physics, English literature or psychology, it is understandable that some information slips out, such as how to spell one of the university's iconic halls. We are all guilty of sending a text message or email with variations of Joyes Hall that include Joys or Joyce Hall. It doesn't matter that you see the structure nearly every day and it never occurred to read the sign. 

4. You've needed to wear a jumper in summer in the Swan Theatre.

The university gets a lot of things right but climate control is not one of them. It is the middle of summer and shorts and thongs have become your staple wardrobe. But if you have a class in the Swan Theatre in the summer months, you have snuck a cardigan or ski jacket into your bag because it is just plain freezing.

5. You keep your fingers crossed for no 9am classes or tutorials on Thursdays.

The start of semester scramble to devise the perfect timetable mainly comprises ensuring all your tutorials and lectures stay clear of Thursday mornings. Because coming to university hungover, or still possibly intoxicated, from Wednesday's uni night is never fun. Who can learn properly when all you're doing is plotting your next McDonald's run?

6. You know there is no real dress code.

Some days, it is just harder to get ready than others. You've stayed up all night cramming for an exam or finishing an assignment or you've attended one of CSU's notorious parties. So finding 'proper' attire for class the next day becomes obsolete. Muddy boots, flannelette, onesies, board shorts or the clothes you were wearing last night, CSU campus sure does not look like the pristine university campuses shown on television. But that's part of its charm.

7. You're a victim of the "Jack Crash Centre".

The Jack Cross Centre is the technological hub of the university. It houses computer labs, lecture rooms and those little men who appear to fix your computer every time it malfunctions. We understand that technology can be fickle and does not always co-operate with how we need it to so the Jack Cross Centre was dubbed the Jack Crash Centre for the amount of times the computers have crashed or failed on students. Goodbye, assignment. Hello, phone call to the help desk.

8. You've planned your trip to uni around possible delays on the Gobba Bridge.

It is a fairly easy drive out to Wagga campus ... if you avoid the Gobbagombalin Bridge. An accident on the bridge can mean traffic is blocked from both directions for extended periods of time. And traffic in peak hour can mean a simple trip can take ages. So, you leave 30 minutes early to avoid the bridge but then get lost in North Wagga trying to take the alternative route. You almost need a university degree just to figure out the best times to leave for class.

9. You've had to dodge kangaroos on the way to class.

There are plenty of perks to living and studying in the country but dodging kangaroos on the way to class is not one of them. Seriously, how many universitys can say they share their campus with one of our national animals? Kangaroos can often be seen bounding over the hill, across the road and in front of unsuspecting students. 

10. You've swum with the ducks.

No, this is not code for drinking with the university's hockey team, the Hockey Ducks. This refers to literally swimming with the ducks. Because in addition to kangaroos, CSU is home to some other cute little critters. Ducks are frequently seen swimming in the university pool and those out for a leisurely splash or serious swim will be familiar with the, excuse the pun, duck and weave process needed to avoid them. 

11. You've been to the loo with a view.

CSU Wagga campus is aesthetically pleasing but there's a killer view from one place you would least expect it. On the top floor of the library is a bathroom with a loo with a view. The toilet faces a window which overlooks picturesque gardens and the rotunda. 

12. You've had a schnitzel wrap with sweet chilli sauce and sour cream from The Greasy Spoon or The Nosh Pit.

Pizza is to Italy what the chicken schnitzel wrap with sweet chilli sauce and sour cream is to CSU. The delicious treat defines culinary experiences at the campus. Whether you've had one as a hangover buster or just because you want to enjoy a good lunch, the wrap is where it's at.

13. You refuse to pay more than $2.50 for goon and juice.

Because you're just good at maths. You know how much a sack of goon costs. And orange juice. And paying any more than $2.50 for the cheap beverage is just ludicrous. You will argue with bartenders and stand your ground because goon is not just a beverage, it's a basic right and you shouldn't have to pay more than small change for it.
