    Dont bring school related clothing ie year 12 jumpers, first years wearing these piss me off. Escpecially people from shithouse GPS schools like kings and joeys. Dont bring a bike if you cant ride it, too many people ride around on a completley wrong sized, ill maintained bikes and it looks...

    more spots in halls and colleges from 2005 for first years

    keep in mind that the accomodation garentee is not valid for the final round and ANU do not offer late round offers. So basically unless you acept a main round offer within 10 days of them coming out you may not get a spot in a hall or college

    Internet in the Colleges

    NO!! free and i usually pull about 2-6 meg/s or 200 - 600kb off johns!! and as a federal institution they cant raid and shut us down like what they did at syd and melb uni's. But we only use it for sure non copyrighted material and uni notes of course ;)

    Internet in the Colleges

    reduced the urge to pirate, ahahahaha there is roughly 2terrabytes or shared stuff on the anu p2p network. I think he was talking about when wireless internet comes to canberra you will be able to pay for that, will be quite fast as the base station will be on telstra tower which looms over...

    Internet in the Colleges

    It is faster than anything you can get in your home, its on the backbone of a 100mb t3up/t2down. no special modem needed just a network card (most motherboards have one in built) 100mb recommended. cost is dependent of the college usually around 12c a meg. :mad: This applies to all...

    why anu?

    for me it was the move away from home factor, leaving home is good. it forces you to grow up and is a big test of character, looking forward to moving out of college next year and into my own home, I think that is the way to go. year in college then own home. in terms of the uni class size...

    Information on Accommodation

    Im pretty sure it would be possible, however dont just turn up with little to no money and expect to get by, you will need a slush fund because there will undoubtly be things that you need to buy, moving out of home is more expensive than it seems at first.
