hey
thanks for that.. i think my first preferences will be for sydney uni after all.. the campus and historical aspect really won me over after attending the 2nd open day. i'm not the kind to totally immerse myself in my books and study; so social aspects and the campus grounds really help..
it's not that i dont want to be friends with asians.. most of my life i've always had a couple of asian friends, in fact, in high school mostly all my friends were asian.. but i tend to have a different lifestyle now and dont have much in common with very quiet/serious/studious types (and most asian uni students ive come across seem to be that way.. a bad generalisation maybe, but that's just my personal experience)..
so, thanks for your message anyway.. i think UNSW Sci. or Arts will be my 3rd or 4th preferences. Cheers.
