ok, I'm planning on (hopefully) transferring to Occupational Therapy next yr, and I'm thinking that I prob wont get into Newcastle, so I'm thinking that CSU will prob be my 2nd preference, so I'm just wondering what you all think of CSU (I'll be at the Albury campus, but I'm keen to find out stuff about the uni in general). Any tips or advice?

ok here is info on course if u havent seen it... http://www.csu.edu.au/courses/ug/hea/hsot/
here is info on campus... http://www.csu.edu.au/about/albury.html
the uni is great and really helpful, never any trouble with lecturers etc, good parties.
it has a more friendly environment than newie uni. if i had the choice between here and there id be at csu

 

[hipsta_jess]

newcastles not unfriendly, it rocks!! and ive made some of the most awesome friends there!!!

 

[crazybrad]

well friends here would rock your socks off

 

[hipsta_jess]

lol...so do you live on campus? whats the accomodation like?

 

[crazybrad]

on campus at wagga, an hour from albury, accomdation seems really bad when u get here but it gets really good, you just put lots of cool stuff in there. albury dont have much in way of accomdation though.

 

[hipsta_jess]

albury dont have much in way of accomdation though.

how do you mean?

 

[crazybrad]

on campus, only at thurgoona, only like 50 places... i think

 

[hipsta_jess]

hmmm...
are you catered for or do you cook for yourself...if i do get the on-campus (i think my course is at thurgoona, havent checked), i have to cook for myself (grr), they dont do catered.
how much do you reckon you spend a week (not including accomodation)?

 

[crazybrad]

catered... 165bucks a week for accomodation and food/ all meals. i then spend another 100 bucks a week on heven only nos what i have no idea... i wish i did have an idea, im probably a bad case study though, i no ppl who survive with self catered on fifty a week, i have no idea how they do it. anyway accom at thurgoona is.... $4,073.40, thats for 40 weeks, late feb to end november, there is 10 weeks holidays in that time too

 

[crazybrad]

and u get 200 bucks at the end of the year if u stay the whole year

 

[hipsta_jess]

so what do you have to do for yourself?

like, washing, cleaning, etc.

 

[~Dreamer]

yes you have to do your own washing. im self catered, that means i buy my own food and stuff, can be draining at times having to do everything, well i guess thats what being independant is about.

 

[crazybrad]

yerh washing is the only thing, full board no cooking hahahha

 

[~Dreamer]

i can eat anything i feel like, at whatever time i like. and im a poor uni student.

 

[crazybrad]

we have freedom from hunger

 

[~Dreamer]

mind over body. we can control our hunger,simple:
feel hungry then insert fist endible thing down the throat.

which reminds me we went and saw 'the village', its screwed, anyways, we had 7 minutes to down our mega meal consisting of 16 pieces of chicken, 2 chips, coleslaw, gravy, pepsi, chicken pop corn plus one of my friends also had a zinger burger with that.
one of the girls made him down it in really qucicky cos we were late for the screening. it hadnt even started yet!! argh
