Recently inspired by Namu's 'Anyone going to UNSW' thread, I thought I'd make UNCLE thread.
SO, anyone going to Newy? If so, what for? Where will you be staying, on campus, home or off campus?

me: see sig. Hopefully on campus :)

Will anyone know anyone going there?

I'm moving up from sydney by myself :S I know a family living in stockton and my best friend lives just off Darby street, but she is still undecided as to whether or not she will defer... I hope she doesn't!

Autonomy day, anyone? THAT'S what's up. :D :D :D :D :D

Hoping to get in up there for B Architecture. Applied for on campus tho chances arent good apparently. Should be fun
Yeah, slim pickings, I've heard.

It's a bit of a win win though. living on campus or renting in Newy. Uni would be convenient and fun. Renting would be fun, and closer to town.

Anyone want to rent a place with me? hahaha

My boyfriend lives in stockton, so if i can't get on campus, I'm going to float around between his place, my car (which i don't actually have) and my best friends spare room. (and your hours :p) hahah

Hey, do you know the bongo man? He floats around Darby street and busks with a bongo, he recently was sporting a multi coloured beard? high-larious

House warming party yeah?
If you decide to rent i recommend somewhere close such as jesmond, north lambton, wallsend. Affordable, close to shops + public transport and most of all in walking distance to uni.

WELL, i've asked around heaps, and apparently Sydney uni's courses can be a bit 'dry' because they're 'SYDNEY UNI' they have the prestige and the elite lecturers, they don't need to change their courses to be as interactive and fun for the students if ya get me.
Plus, the ATAR for science is 84.4 or soemthing. check my sig :) hahaha

Also, I've lived in sydney all my life, there are so many douche bags, too much traffic, i've spent heaps of time in newy it's so chilled and i luuuuurve it. Plus, i love an hour and a bit bus ride from the beach :( and I love the beach.
