Building K, behind the Union Services Desk. From here,
students can book the Student Union meeting room (also
located on this level), borrow one of the many magazines

cheapest rate on campus, and we sell transparencies for use
on our copiers. The student lounge is a comfortable and
pleasant alternative to the other areas on the Prahran
campus. Daily papers are available so students can keep up
with life outside the campus. A water dispenser is available
in the lounge for students to use, you can either buy a cup
from the services desk for 5c or bring your own 500 ml
bottle or cup.
There are regular activities for students to participate in,
either by turning up on the day or more actively by
helping with their organisation. They are all advertised in
the Student Union newspaper ne Swine. These activities
ensure all students have the opportunity to relax and
mingle with each other in an enjoyable environment.
There are a number of clubs on the Prahran campus and
the potential for more, if students are interested in being
involved.
The weekly publication of the Student Union, The Swine,
is distributed right across campus. Prahran students can
contribute articles, public notices, letters or advertisements
by filling in a contribution sheet from the Student Union
Services Desk. Students can pick up their copy of The
Swine from the various distribution points across campus.
