3 Now, we are at the campus’s Main Gate. The Recreational Facilities are on my right hand and its opposite is the Student Centre (6). No questions? Good. Pretty easy, right? OK, did everyone eat breakfast at the Student Food Service this morning? Was the food good? Yes, yes. I am joking. I’ve eaten there, too. So after a meal like that, you must be eager to go to a doctor. Right? Well, I have good news for you: the Student Health Centre is located about half a kilometre straight north of here (7). Look on your maps. You see the street on the east side of this building? Ned Kelly Avenue? Just follow that about 500 metres, and the Health Centre will be on your left at the third cross street. (7) Now, I know you all just got here. So you must be wondering how to tell your folks you’ve arrived safely, how much you miss the dog, and how you already need more money. If you don’t have an Iphone, you probably are wondering where to find a computer. Well, I have good news. If you go straight out of its door and walk down the Garden Street, you’ll see the Internet Unit on your left side, just next to the Gym (8). The hours are posted on the door, and the computers are free, but you must bring your student ID card with you. Like I tell everyone, if you need help with anything, you can probably find it right here in the Student Centre. Do you see the four buildings there between the Student Centre and the library? Those are the dormitories. The men’s dorms are the two on the south; the women’s the two on the north. OK, I’m sorry to have to tell you, but the university has been doing a lot of repairs and remodelling, and it’s not all done yet. So there may be some small problems with your dorm rooms. Maybe the window doesn’t open. Maybe an air conditioner is missing or does not work. If there are any problems, you can go to the Complaint Office, which is right beside the Teaching Building between the Parker Street and the Crammer Street (9). Just tell them your problem and they should have it fixed by the time you graduate in four years. I’m joking, but please be patient. There are a lot of little things they need to take care of. Tired of the school food? No? Give it a week. Or maybe you just need a place to get coffee in the wee hours of the night during one of those marathon study sessions. Either way, you definitely have to check out the little Cafe just past the women’s dormitories (10). They’ve got free Wi-Fi, so a lot of students saddle up with coffee and a bagel for hours on end to get work done. Section 3.

Of all declared bankrupts last year, almost 15% were under 30 years old, representing a sharp rise since previous years. Various reasons have been cited as to why this is happening, but the question remains, what are we to do about the growing problem of debt among the young? With me on the program today is Norma Powell, who hopefully can shed some light on this worrying matter. Norma, what can we do? NORMA: Well, I think it's fair to say that the causes of the problem are many. For one thing, young people are encouraged to get into debt by the sheer abundance of credit cards and store cards on offer to them. It's terribly easy for college students to run up an overdraft unchecked, not realising that they will then spend the first 10 years of their working lives paying the money back (11). That's assuming they find a job. But personally, I think the root of the problem lies deeper. In this consumer society of ours, where the acquisition of material goods gives you status, parents often fail to give their children guidance in how to handle their money. They are negligent in their responsibility to warn them about the hidden dangers involved in running up credit card bills (12), for instance. INTERVIEWER: Don't you think it's a little harsh to lay all the blame at the parents' door?
