what reasons would people give for St John's over the other colleges on campus?? im looking at applying there later.
http://johnxxiii.anu.edu.au/Virtual_tour/HTML_tour/11_aninvite.htmlThe RA hosts events such as:
* The annual College Ball;
* College Play;
* Publishing Pontifex, the annual magazine that documents your life here at Johns;
* Coffee crawls;
* Walks up Telstra Tower;
* Tavern Nights;
* Film Nights;
* Out-the-Back-Day (BBQ, Band, Jumping Castle and fun for all);
* Annual Charity Auction;
So the fact i go to johns and are living there right now (not 3 years ago) means i have no knowledge whatsoever? It was updated last year and had a complete website re-design.Venusian said:Pfft half the website is utter bullsh*t
Theres a computer connected to the anu quota system - come down any time for a tour and i'll show you it. Anu quota system is free, therefore the printing is free!Venusian said:liars! there hasnt been free printing since 05! that was a sad day when that went
Well this term we had 3!Venusian said:tav nights are like one a term, maybe two if youre lucky
Really? cos they've been saying that for the last 3 years, and its never occurred. We have had 3 this year. - all with alcohol, and all with live bands etc.Venusian said:from what i hear, theres likely to be no more otb's - although ken's (Master/Principal/CEO/God or so he (and the sub-dean) likes to think) gone so who knows whats gonna happen
Ok fair enoughVenusian said:biggest rooms - johns consistently has the biggest rooms, bruce for example has some rooms slightly lager than others on certain wings which are marginally bigger than johns rooms
woo free calls within johns, well if you live in an anu owned college you get free calls to allover the anu (as at 06)
Well i did the thing up telstra tower with IB, but the thing this year for the sober people in o-week was to go up telstra tower (tbc).Venusian said:walks up telstra tower wtf! unless you mean runs up black mountain for IB
Whats wrong with that? it was still a great night and well over 2/3rds of the hall went! Id rather have a great night and not have a million dollars of unnecessary damages.Venusian said:College ball - previously held at parliament - yes many years ago but johns has been since banned and subsequently banned from most decent venues, thus now the ball is held in a barn at the showgrounds = lame!
lol? ur not a johns hater? hmmm il let other people be the judge of that one.Venusian said:and no, im not a johns hater, i lived there.....but for all you prospective johns kids (and i suppose for all the colleges) dont believe the hype, you'll just be dissapointed.
i think applications open really early like 11th of August (apply asap - dont wait till later). To go to johns you need to put Johns as your 1st preference (because of popularity they only interview 1st preference people) on the ANU accomodation form. Interviews are in december some time - they will arrange that with you. I think theres also some instructions on the johns website on how to apply (click "take the tour" and its the last page)karatekid72 said:thanks for that. i went to this years open day and had a look around. Johns felt like the most comfortable socially. and i've only just started yr 12 so u rekon apply this time next year?
