Off campus accomodation (1 Viewer)

[NVRMND]

hey, i got into ANU but i didnt apply for on-campus accommodation.. as i assumed i was going to get into UNSW.. either way i am happy i got in, but i have no accommodation. Anyone else in the same boat?

I am most likely going to rent out a room somewhere close to the uni..

 

[blah says she]

yes.. kind of.. im on the waiting list for a college, but im not holding out much hope of getting in.

I didn't apply for off campus either... I am staying with some of mums friends (who i've never met before) until I can find my own place. I'vbe lived with my b/f for the past 2 years, doing what I want when I want so I have to adjust to uni life the wrong way around... its going to be wierd living in a house with parents and rules again !

NVRMD: what are you studying? do you realise you are looking at alot of $$ for a room close to the uni?

 

[strawberry]

yeah, i'm in the same boat

 

[NVRMND]

I have had hardly any luck so far... I havent been able to find anything decent.

I wanted to make a list of places to check out and do a road trip.. but i havent even been able to get people to reply to emails.

hey i'm going to anu next month too, doing commerce/law. i'm also on a waiting list but don't think i'll get in. went to canberra today to look for some places but they were expensive and not so great and a little far from uni too. do any of you guys in the same boat want to contact each other and see if we can get a few people together to find a decent place to live?

Depends where you want to live. Renting just a room anywhere in the inner suburbs will cost slightly more than staying in an uncatered college anyway. But I'm planning to move out after a year as well with my girlfriend. I dont think its fair for new first year students from overseas/interstate to miss out on accomodation when Ive already settled into canberra and dont need all the support from living on campus.
