Heh 400 ppl waiting? Wowser. There's two rooms in my 5 bed west side flat that are free atm ;) Right now is a really bad time to look for a vacancy. I had to secure my spot ( I've lived there 2 years) in October last year. The best time to apply would've been November/December last year. As for...

Hmmmm this whole "hurry the fuck up and get a job mentality" is kinda annoying. Yes, I agree that it's not fair people should leach off other students working their asses off and paying taxes. That is not right. But it is NOT just post-Xmas period. It is also a period where some businesses are...

Most retail places I've worked at have been pretty good about increasing my hours during the holidays ( 35hrs p/w), and decreasing them when uni starts ( 15-20 hr p/w). However, I've noticed that people who work longer hours during the uni term sometimes (not always) get priority over others...

"Last edited by erin.horan; Today at 3:09 AM. Reason: fixing it up" What on earth you fixed up in that message I have no idea

You sound like a sad Lady Sovereign wannabe mate

This kind of issue can be tricky. Obviously if they specifically say it is temp/vacation, you know you're safe. Though I would say that as a rule of thumb, unless they specify this, you should assume they are looking for you to stay there a while. The thing is, employers often put resources and...

Have you looked at this website? It is quite good: studyandwork.com.au A few points to note from the link: - the vast majority of jobs are never advertised - to maximise your chance of success, partake in "strategical door-to-door visits, 2-3 hours at a time, in suburbs that have a large...

I asked Student Enquiries this question a few days ago, and basically you have to re-enrol. This involves re-enrolling in your units, and re-registering in your classes. My friend who went through this process also had issues with getting credit for previous studies. That's why they strongly...

I've been trying to get youth allowance for 2 years now (finished school in 2006). But because I generally do temporary work, I haven't been able to meet the 15 hrs p/w for 2 years requirement :( It's a pity because I live away from home, can't find a job at the moment, and am REALLY desperate...

Lol. I agree that intellectualism has a strong erotic component in it. Kudos for the comment. I once read somewhere that reading is like a warm hug when you're feeling down. I dig that ( with fiction mainly). I like non-fiction because you learn about how the world works, and it expands your...

I would definitely recommend it. I'm currently I am at MUV ( have been for 2 years) and I love it. I don't pay for my accommodation, my parents offered to, but it is approx. $185 p/w (utilities included). I live with four other people, and I find that you take away really good friendships from...

Re: The old end of semester / mark prediction thread on the website it seems like the only way of getting ur results is through e-student :( Usually i get them off the non-estudent site so as to avoid having to pay off my library fine first. Maybe they caught on to that? :/

Re: The old end of semester / mark prediction thread cp for law 115? Really? I thought the exam was heaps easier than sem 1's assignment. Hope u end up getting a "p" at least *sending good vibes*

Even at undergrad level that's bloody scary! I find if you lie down at all ( or even put your head on the desk) you're tempting fate waaayyy too much. The worst is when you still haven't finished the essay, its due at 9am that morning and you wake up at 7am, and only have 2 hrs to...

I can't pinpoint one scary moment in particular........one really bad one was when i had 2 play the piano in front of a crowd of 800 people at a school assembly in yr 11......i couldn't sleep the night before and had 3 panic attacks in the week leading up to it.....then 10 mins before it i felt...

My friend just got her mark back for a second year cultural studies subject ( which focussed on "theories of subjectivity") and got 96/100 as her final grade. She barely spoke up in tuts and left all her assignments till the week before, so personally I think that's a pretty good grade. But yeah...

I'm doing it this semester like you guys. Although Juris seemed really hard to me, I still ended up going really well in the assignment( got it back today- got a D+). So even if it does end up being a hard course, I don't necessarily think that translates into it being really hard to get good...

The other morning I went from 6am-6.30am and it was pretty deserted ( for obvious reasons of it being so early). And then last night I went at 8.30pm-9.30pm and there was hardly anyone there also. I know these aren't ideal times but if you live on campus and are motivated enough :P you get an...

I go there. Basically I pay $37.50 a month, which they take out of my bank account and I generally don't notice gone. You get free classes ( tae kwon do, boxercise, aerobics etc) included in this amount. They're open from 5am-10pm weekdays, which works really well for me, seeing as I live close...

lol
