    Accomodation around Macquarie Uni

    Why is decent accomodation around the university so hard to find? Out of the three on campus places i can only afford the village but unfortunately i can't even stay there cause the waiting list goes on forever. Has anyone found decent accomodation around the uni before? What's the best way...

    Int studies at UNSW or MAQ

    I have not been on my exchange but have only done a language learning month overseas where the course was entirely in Spanish (to improve my Spanish obviously).

    Int studies at UNSW or MAQ

    The Official Euro 2008 Thread

    Russia's defense has been crap in the past however i think Hiddink has reorganised it a great deal. Being the underdog is also a good thing for them, at this stage I'd love a Russia/Turkey final even though I'm pretty sure the Germans will win
