Information on Accommodation (3 Viewers)

[I am here!]

Hm got an offer from Burgmann today so all is swell - via phone, nothing on paper yet which is a bit disconcerting, but I will live, I think.

Anyone else heading there or is it all about John's and Bruce these days?

Well congratulations! getting accom is better than living out of a tent lol! Just remember there are due dates for deposits, you havent 100% secured your room until they are paid for.

Well although everything revolves around johns D), im sure there will be some burgmann people around here somewhere... you know... all 350 of them.

Welcome to ANU, see you next year!

When are you supposed to receive accommodation offers? Is it normal to receive an offer before you know that you've gotten into a course?

 

[Evilo]

* New domestic students will be sent an offer of accommodation after they have received an academic offer to study at ANU, for Semester 1, 2007 this will be 17 January.
* New international undergraduate students will be sent an offer of accommodation after they have accepted their academic offer.
* This means that most international students will need to pay their course fee deposit before they can confirm their accommodation.
Accommodation offers will begin from 1 November and will be sent via email to students as they accept their academic offers.

It is very important for international students to accept their academic offers early. This usually involves paying your course fee deposit. The earlier you accept your academic offer, the earlier we can confirm your accommodation. Students who accept their academic offer late may not be guaranteed accommodation.

I think i got mine around that sort of time, maybe a bit later.
tbh i wouldnt worry if you're a new student. That guarantee will keep strong.

I don't think so - which makes me all the more weirded out as I still haven't seen anything in black and white.

I'm sure yours will be coming sooner or later!

Heard anything back on the PhB thing yet? I haven't, sadly.

dont worry, if you've applied properly there should be no issues. just pre-offer nerves lol

No, I haven't either. I have no idea how many applications they have to sort through though. I'm hoping we hear sometime this week because they told me the selection process started yesterday.

 

[bikapika]

[I am here!]

Sue? Burgmann or the PhB stuff?

 

[bikapika]

burgmann's staff : ) appearantly she didnt call me for an interview. does that mean my application for residency is rejected?

I'd wouldn't think so - I didn't really have an interview or anything.

[Evilo]

Chit chat - 'You're in: paperwork on the way' - chit chat

 

[Evilo]

I was about to say call them and ask, but it seems you've already done so.
the fact they've called back means they've taken an interest in you. (sounds like a positve sign to me)

hahaha that means "you've been confirmed a place, pay by this date or else"
Congrats

 

[bikapika]

nuh i didnt call them they called me this morning : ) lol so did a residential college at usyd which called me for an interview

lol i would probably go to this interview pretending usyd is my first preference and then use it as a backup option if i couldnt get into law in anu

seriously there are FULL of hot chicks at usyd

 

[bikapika]

come on current students, say that there are a lot of hot chicks at anu as well, say it to reaffirm ma faith in anu : )

 

[Evilo]

yeah there's hot chicks, especially in arts related courses. I was a bit hesitant about saying that 'cos i havent actually been to any other univeristies - makes it a bit hard for comparison.
