Don't ever ever ever listen to what a fresher has to say about colleges until at least second semester. They're just too naturally silly so we can't blame them for having an opinion as relevant as the Socialist Alternative

You're full of shit. I presume you don't deny that "life" is a fact. Well try and define exactly when it begins and ends. Just because you can't define something exactly doesn't mean it isn't there. The parallel of the analogy. We can safely say that someone who was vapourised in an...

I wouldn't worry. I live on campus and use limewire. Just don't ask me how it works...it just does.

After the very first night of O-Week each and every person at Paul's hated Johns, but now after a year, I can say that each and every single Johns person i have met is a champ. It's just so easy to rip into you guys sometimes i can't help.

Andrew's is one of the most prestigious colleges and is really very good, but not as "clean" as women's. People sometimes say that Women's is like a hospital because it is so sterilised. I like to say that if that's the case then Women's is a private hospital and Sancta is a public hospital...

Whoa, not even close to the mark. Women's is full of the Ascham and Loretto et al lot. The steroetype would be the opposite end of the spectrum. All the too cool for school rich pretty girls.

Women's College is the better college if you're not concerned about living only with girls. Otherwise Drew's is your best option.

I wouldn't worry too much about how you'll be generally treated by the seniors. The only time they exert influence is at the established rituals. Every college has different ones and it's better for you not to know them just yet. Just know that atleast at Paul's you get pretty victimized but...

We had one fresher this year who in the first Rawson event, cricket in, who scored a century off i thng 60 balls. That set him up for the rest of the entire year. Additionally, the more sports you're involved in, the more celebrations. And yes only Rawson sports matter.

I know nothing will change your decision to go to Johns now, but you should be aware of a few things that are relevant everywhere. Firstly, like you i thought college would put me outside a comfort zone. However I have found that like just about everyone else, college is just about the...

Yeah you know me. But just for interest's sake, I think i'll let you stay guessing. P.S, you're the first Drew's person i've heard say they would rather the Wowsers won than us.

You don't even go to college yet. And it is almost a universally acknowledged fact that Drew's have the hottest chicks. Forget Wesley. Half their cricket team couldn't even bat an eyelid on Monday. Choked the Rawson Cup.

Honestly, if you were considering between Drew's and Wesley, I'd definately be heading for Drew's. And I say that as a Paul's fresher. You might have just as much fun at either, but at Drew's you'll be getting far more of the whole "college" experience.

Yeah they're really going to put you through ages of work and study at great cost to yourself and themselves, just to kick 4 in 7 applicants right at the very end. If this test exists at all, don't you think they would put it at the beginning. My goodness you didn't put much thought into that...

I'm pretty sure there are vacancies at Johns so you should have no trouble at all in getting in.

Choppers comes from rock choppers. It refers to the Irish convicts who came over here and their job was to smash rocks for clearing. Believe it or not, but I get a fair amount of stick for being catholic.

Just for clarification, Paul's wasn't exactly shit. I keep hearing how Drew's have won it more than everybody else combined, but that doesn't mean a great deal when the choppers have won it once and Wesley three times before their run began. STill, not questioning your dominance, just that you...

Wesley have dominated for the last 5 years, but historicaly they are really shit. Paul's is really stepping up now. they won it in 2003, choked badly 2004, and this year have led the enitre way and are about to win the whole thing come next wednesday. And definately don't go to UNSW. I...

If you're that good at sport then you should definately go to Paul's. Andrew's have really slid in the past few years when it comes to sport and if you want a a top end experience, then Paul's is the go.
