The area also contains the North Ryde asylum and Ryde Hospital which service the surrounding areas. Schools in the area include government schools such as Ryde Secondary College, Marsden High School and Epping Boys High School. It also includes a few private schools such as Holy Cross College Ryde and Marist Brothers College Eastwood. It also includes one of Sydney's main universities, Macquarie University.
