EXACTLY this is what people don't get, it's just started so they are bound to make mistakes... and then learning and fixing them. Compare unilodge 2007 to 2008 - so much different, so much better

O Week looks so awesome this year. I'm so annoyed I'm going to miss it... damn Seattle... here's hoping Bush Week lives up to this standard

As far as carparking goes, Davey Lodge has about 30 spots, which is ridiculous and they cost (well they did last year) about $20 a week... which adds up to a lot. If you can I'd suggest trying to get a spot in one of the ANU multi storey places (there's one just behing Davey), one of my friends...

I've lived at self catered places for two years and I don't use the car I have - everything you need is in walking distance. There are heaps of decently priced cafes - I recommend Essen - and ther is Superbarn, ALDI, and two IGAs in the CBD. Plus ther Canberra Center is the best plaza in the...

I thought I'd contribute as someone who has actually lived there. I've had a great experience living there for the last two years - I won't be back in first semester though as I'm on exchange, but otherwise I would be. What type of organisational set up do they have? SRs, committies, etc...

I'm about to do it - I'm heading off to Seattle in January for 6 months. It's not difficult to be accepted - go along to one of the information sessions at the start of semester and they'll tell you all about it. Basically you submit an online application saying where and why you want to go...

no, i'm not an ra or sa, i just think unilode gets a bit of a bad rep - far too much generalising goes on.

UniLodge made an ad on open day, it's quite hilarious http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=xzZM9AN1j6E Unilodge is actually a great place to live though - i've been here 2 years now and it's been a realy great experience for me, we have some good parties too - for our Halloween party this year peter...

Your elecive can be any course from any faculty. Don't quote me on this but you can do 8 (I think) out of faculty courses during your degree. Pick something that interests you.

So I was thinking about becoming a note taker for the disability services centre to get some extra cash (seing as the job hunting thing has been unsuccessful thus far). Has anyone here done this/know anything about it?

At least UL isn't as expensive as anywhere in Sydney - I stayed at New College @ UNSW for a week while I did a course at NIDA and it cost about $400. It was catered but we didn't get meals everyday, the rooms were smaller and dirtier, there was no common room/games room, the tv was tiny and you...

There is still a ressies commite at UL this year. And I know people who are setting up a cricket team. And we had debating for a little bit last year which was a lot of fun, except it started late and then it was exam time and people wanted to study instead. I'm sure if you're realy enthusiastic...

There is also a service one credit union with ATM in union court. I have accounts with both commonwealth and service one. oh, and there is an NAB atm in union court and the branch is hidden up near the pauline griffin building.

I don't drive mostly (the car lives at ursies with my sis and comes out if i need to get to the other side of the city or something) I don't cycle though either... (I have a slight bike phobia since I had a big bike related accident when I was younger) I just walk everywhere - thats another plus...

Last year there was nothing (although I'm sure partly it was due to it all being new and no one having any idea what should happen). Last year unilodge was fairly stingy with planned social activities: there was a dinner at the end of semmester 1 and a halloween party as an end of semmester 2...
