ANU@Citigate.......wooo!(sarcastic) (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter bobohappy
- Start date
If there's anyone who is seriously hating the fact that they're stuck in ANU@Citigate I'm quite happy to make a deal. I'm willing to trade my place at Unigardens for a place at ANU@Citigate. I'm quite happy to have a motel style, slightly smaller for half catering. The only potential obstacle to this potential deal (if someone is willing to make the trade) is the inflexibility of the UAS, though I think that this can be overcome. The first person to express their interest in this deal as a visitor post on my profile I will get in contact with, to exchange some basic contact information and then I will contact UAS to let them know about the proposed modification.
For comparing and contrasting purposes, I have also included the Unigardens info below so people can make an informed decision:
Students residing at University Gardens will be supported by two Residential Advisers and affiliated with Unilodge. The Residential Advisers will provide pastoral support and the University will deliver a campus program to ensure that residents are welcomed and supported. We assure you that students residing at University Gardens will have the same pastoral structure and access to residential life experiences as is available in all of our student residences. The cost will be no more than the tariffs for a standard room in our Halls of Residence.

These units are in a secure building – all residents are students. Photos of the facility can be found at UniGardens.

I'll take it if this guy doesn't.
Otherwise, we'll all just have to look forward to living together in the shitter
Could be fun, you know. See you guys there haha.I've actually checked in Canberra YHA (35$ a night) because the shit motel is far more expensive and is still shit. Haven't had the opportunity to visit City Gateway yet, was just getting used to Canberra yesterday after my 8000km journey. I like Canberra, kinda quaint and quiet, very different from my hometown (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia which has traffic jams at 1am and city quite literally never sleeps.)
Weather over the last two days has been pretty nice as well, never got past 30 and at night dropped to a cool 25C. I'm going for the international orientation now, if I get an opportunity to visit the motel I'll take some photos and put some pictures up.

I'm in! It's not bad really. It's been cleaned and ANU has done a good job of upkeep. If you get a single room, it's pretty big and they give you a sofa. Everybody gets a queen sized bed. The deal ANU throws in (food, monthly bus pass etc.) is pretty good as well. NO internet is a pain, (in fact i'm in maccas now). It's pretty close to the shops in Dickson so it's convenient. They are working on the internet and they will eventually get it but until then maccas it is. When you guys get here, look me up. Room 313. See ya
Edit: As promised.. photos, but i only got photos of the double bedded rooms. The single bedrooms are the exact same size but you're given a sofa instead of another bed
