my friend got her accommodation offer like, last week sometime. but she's relocating from nsw so she's guaranteed a spot, if that makes a difference?
Most of us are still waiting.Oh no...still nothing! Will I have anywhere to live? SHould I perhaps ring them?
My preferences were Bruce, Johns, Ursies and Burgmann....
Very
I have alot of friends who go there. It doesn't have much of a social life because -Congrats to those who got offers, both the academic and accommodation kinds. I haven't yet. I'm sure I will though. Don't stress people. I've only seen pics of all the on campus accommodations, and I have to say UniLodge by far looks the best, I'm assuming that would follow through to the inside too. From what I hear, though, it kind of fails at social, which IMO is more important than looking nice. I've only gotten that impression from people on here though, and none seem to go there, which doesn't help. I just wish there was more info on UL.
It's more that although some of the events that UL organises aren't half bad, no one actually turns up to them. And by no one, I mean about 20-30 people or so. Which is pretty pathetic when there are over 500 people who live there. From when I've been over there and from what friends at UL have told me, it differs to colleges socially in that there's no massive social groups and social events. People tend to clump together more in small social groups at UL.Ah cheers for the info. I wasn't aware money was a key difference between all the halls. Do they all vary widely? What sort of discrepency is there between UL and the the halls? I guess culture definitely plays a huge part, and with UL being new, it would definitely lack this (although it is in it's 3rd year now, right?). It could still take leads from the halls when planning events though. I wouldn't necessarily say that a culture has to exist for it to be able to plan events. With over 1000 residents, surely at least 350 of them would be local (doesn't Johns have 350 residents?). I'm just saying, with numbers like that you'd think it would be fine socially. I'm sure Johns gets it's share of internationals, so not all of their residents would be social.
I did a lot of research when trying to decdide where to live, and UL seems to have fine common areas. The new one looks to have a TV Room separate from another lounge area. I'm just saying I think with the new building, and another 500 residents, things will probably be different. I'm saying this because people are saying they're not going to go to ANU if they have to stay at UL. Personally I'd love first hand feeback about the place, but that doesn't seem to be available here. I'm going to ANU regardless of what accommodation I get offered.
Me too.Anyone received anything yet?
EDIT: It still just says "Application Received" for me in the Accommodation Portal.
