So I got a call today from Bruce explaining to me that they had over enrolled and that they wouldn't be able to come through with their offer. They told me, not surprisingly, that I would receive an offer from UniLodge (they guaranteed me that much). I'm not really fussed... price isn't really...

lol my point exactly ephorex. You're a thinker, that's for sure.

lol at all the hate towards UL. Almost makes me want to give up my spot at Bruce and go there to prove everybody wrong. A couple of you are all up for the place. You've no got instant friends living in the same building, most probably along with lots of other 1st years.

What's the staus of Johns? Is that full? Did you apply there?

Nope, nothing special that I can think of. It said under consideration for Bruce Hall. It's been like that for ages. Thanks, though.

Actually Bruce was my top pref, I was just saying that I also had UL on my list. There's a thread about UL. It had a rep of being anti-social and boring, but read the thread, lots of useful info.

Hey, that's weird. Today I got an offer from Bruce Hall, and UniLodge was on my preference list :confused:. I wouldn't worry about UniLodge, though. From what I hear it's getting much better. Finally the wait is over, for me at least! Also, did they mention which UL building you're up for?

blacksunset, I keep hearing this. Do you live there? I'm interested in hearing the reasons as to why. OMG, finally some first hand info! Thanks heaps!!! I'm a little confused by all the jargon, such as CAs lol. I was wondering how the structure of UL differs to others. From what I've...

Ah cheers for the info. I wasn't aware money was a key difference between all the halls. Do they all vary widely? What sort of discrepency is there between UL and the the halls? I guess culture definitely plays a huge part, and with UL being new, it would definitely lack this (although it is...

Congrats to those who got offers, both the academic and accommodation kinds. I haven't yet. I'm sure I will though. Don't stress people. I've only seen pics of all the on campus accommodations, and I have to say UniLodge by far looks the best, I'm assuming that would follow through to the inside...

Ouch Economics went up by 9 points. That officially puts me out of the running. Commerce and the rest are still 80 though. Does that mean the person with the lowest score who got accepted had 80? Hopefully I got into that. What are the chances of someone who got below the cutoff likely to get...

Aww that sux. Surely it's not that bad. Well it's not high on my prefernce list, but thought I'd ask about it anyway. Surely with over 1000 residents (this year), there would be lots of people willing to get involved.

I can only hope. ANU fills up all of my preferences, so if they all go up above 80 I'm kind of screwed. Only a week and a bit left now, though. The wait is excruciating.

So, what information do people have on Uni Lodge? The UL section on the ANU website is pretty pathetic, especially when you compare it to the websites the other colleges have. What type of organisational set up do they have? SRs, committies, etc? How's the social life there? Do they get...

Well that doesn't sound that bad at all. Kind of like a frat initiation type thing. I like it. But I still wouldn't like to live there, considering other things I've heeard.

I just got the information that the cut-offs were increasing this year from this thread http://community.boredofstudies.org/587/general-australian-national-university/193016/anu-will-overenrol-keep-uai-cutoffs-low-mid-80s.html which aparently contains an email from the VC stating that. It wasn't...

So, theoretically if ANU's cut-offs aren't set by demand, then they should already know them. Plus, with them saying that cut-offs were rising to mid 80s, then they probably will. That sux. Do you think degrees like Arts, Science, IT etc would all be significantly higher if it was based on...

I've also heard UL can be anti social. Reading the FAQ thread there's a lot of "excluding UL". Such as in reference to SRs and Committies. Doesn't UL have any organisation? Are they included in the "College" aspect of ANU, like for sports and stuff? So far from reading and talking to people I've...

I have a few friends planning to go to ANU this year. They've all avoided Johns for some reason. They have friends there now (they took a gap year like me), and have been told by them not to go to Johns. What sort of rep does it have on campus? Other than being a boys club? The friends there now...

Oh no, I definitely know that no one can change the cut-offs, I just wanted to get people's predictions on what they might be. I read in this thread http://community.boredofstudies.org/587/general-australian-national-university/193016/anu-will-overenrol-keep-uai-cutoffs-low-mid-80s.html, posted...
