After sorting out your accommodation and groceries, the next step is to find Where you can pray on campus. If you're on campus there are several prayer rooms:
- ANU Musallah (the location is right in the side of Menzies Library)
- Coomb building (there is separate rooms for women and men)
- The chaplaincy: location is in the heart of ANU where most students spend time,
- There is a new multi-faith center being built in the well-being centre, so keep an eye out for any new developments
Although we have only listed dedicated spaces if there is no prayer room near you, you can pray wherever. Find somewhere quiet, such as a study room in the library.
