SENIOR students from the North Central region attended the Charles Sturt University Explore Day to learn more about agriculture and animal studies courses. 
Among the group were students from East Loddon College, Angus Addlem, Lyss Mulder and Blake Smyth as well as Dempsey Lee from Boort District School. 
CSU provided informative sessions about their courses and had staff available to help with specific questions about entry requirements and pathway options for students. Students then toured the 2000-hectare farm and observed the use of autonomous cropping equipment and the automatic scales in the lamb feedlot. They also looked at different animal skeletons and tried to guess the name of the animal and whether it was a carnivore, omnivore or herbivore.
They were also able have a discussion with alumni from their current schools who are attending the university, Josh Diss and Alyssa Boyd, who gave them an insight into the CSU student experience. Another past student of East Loddon, Issy Morrison, provided a tour of her accommodation for the students.
Those attending felt that the campus had a very friendly rural atmosphere, and they could visualise themselves becoming students there.
The student experience was supported by North Central LLEN.
