That sounds just like my university. I often head down to Borders in between lectures just to kill time. BTW does the Sydney Borders have many sales, or just the annual tertiary student discount sale?
There are apparently three Borders stores in Sydney.
I only went there a few times after Macquarie Centre was expanded and refurbished - I find it rather expensive, at least in appearance. Stupidly, I kill 'spare' time here instead.
