Only for big lectures where no one knows or cares who you are.

No of course not. What I meant is that I have heard of later year students getting offers at places such as UniLodge before first years. ie. an earlier post by moc.

Jesus Christ guys! You go on an plane to get from A to B, hence transport. If you want good food, go to a restaurant, not a plane.

Ill just be studying and doing assignments at the library. Although I do tend to study until very late (12am-2am). So I hope I can get parking and my room mate is cool with me sneaking in at 12 and stuff.

Stable job? I know A LOT of people with degrees and NO JOB. Either because they had no interest in their course and earned their degree with pass and credits or that there are so many graduates and the competition is so tough you just can't find a job even with a degree.

I agree. I talk to some of my friends brothers and sisters still in high school and they say they want to go to University because they wan't to become a millionaire/billionaire by getting a degree and somehow instantly enter a company as an executive and earn millions. Or that getting a...

So true! My peers always say people become tradies because they're "too stupid/dumb to go to university".

I feel bad for you, moving to a new country and getting dumped in a motel. Post up some pictures as well if you can =)

Since our contract is going to be ANU (I think), then I don't think they'll penalize us for transferring to a hall in the 2nd semester.

Keep in mind I'm talking about this in an undergraduate context. Back in the days University was a great achievement. Only a very few handful of people could gain entry and get a degree. If you said you were a University student or something you would be admired by people. But nowadays it seems...

Agreed. It kept saying we first years outside of ACT have this guarantee and are given priority yada yada yada. But if I had known priority meant dumping you at a 3rd class 1950s motel, then I would of much rather spent my time looking for a share apartment or something. With o week in a week or...

Oh wow that is depressing. I think you would be better off getting a share house close to the city or something. That is if you can find one. Good luck!

Only 24 people at the carotel? How do you know?

Lol like that guy who bombed some insurance company in Darwin? :D But seriously, judging by those reviews, the place seems like a total shit hole. But at least we will be given priority when transferring to a dorm, and it really is very cheap compared to UniLodge, which is a big plus for me...

Holy shit. I've been to a a lot of dirty, shitty, dust mite ridden motels before, so I already had a bad feeling when I found out Citigate was a motel. Now this just confirms those feelings. I guess the first thing I'm going to do when I get there is do some serious cleaning. And lol 14...

Wonder how much we can redeem with the 'dinner voucher'... we don't have kitchens in the motel after all...

When you say high credit/distinction, are you talking about a credit being 65-74 and distinction 75-84 or a credit being 60-69 distinction 70-79? In my opinion, ANU aren't renowned for their commerce, although their economics department seems to be very strong. Personally, I am trying to...

It's mainly/originally a sports conference of east coast Universities. Many great universities such as Stanford, UC Berkeley and Duke are not included in the Ivy League.

Why so many American Unis though, why not the London School of Economics or London Imperial College?

Unless your a genius, super rich or famous, having Harvard as one of your goals will make you go crazy. You don't know the tremendous amount of effort, time, dedication and tenacity it takes. And even if you have all those qualities in abundance, your still competing with 20000 other candidates...
