Accommodation at UNSW (1 Viewer)

Bah I think youre exaggerating a lot of the bad things - another thing is that a couple of the colleges (basser and shalom at least) do have basins in each room contrary to what you said.

People are getting pedantic, it was meant as an aside to the other posts, anyhow;
- Referring to New College there
- Guessed the price range, from where the usual prices seem to float around
- Bah I think youre exaggerating a lot of the bad things --> So you admit they do exist, im telling the crowd things they should know. You have no right to bullsh*t them into paying that much money, when they don't know the full details. (Note: all the good things, etc. have been covered, it'd be pointless for me to re-state them )

Have fun, think wisely, judge your cash flows, in the end it's your decision.

Another thing is that for some of us theres really no option (Im moving to sydney and know no one nearby I could live with)

Simple, get to know people.

Well I dont plan to live in college for my whole degree or anything... but I think itd be the best option for anyone moving to sydney with few options as to where they stay. Btw I do agree, the colleges are fairly pricey

It's OK, ace. I still think you awesome, even if you have bad grammar.

They are pricey but not that pricey when you really look at it. You get
-21 meals a week - giving you more time so you don't have to be cooking
-your room cleaned,
-your sheets washed,
-you get academic support (which acn be priceless depending on your degree), you pay for location,
-you get to meet a heap of people who are all great people (plus they've been selected so they're less likely to be crazy or whatever,)
-you get all the things that the uni offers like mentoring programs through friendships with ppl who are older than you,
-you have and absolutley awesome social life,
-they're are heaps of opportunities to get involved in plenty of things like productions etc,
-if you're from out of town its the perfect place to meet ppl in the same position as you,
-the rooms really aren't that small and they have/fit everything you need
-there is a awesome sense of community
-you get for free things like computer support

College is great for some people and its just not for some other people. Also when you compare it to if you had to set up a place you were renting, those initial set up costs and maintenence throughout the year make college look quite decently priced.

I dont think they start taking applications until around mid way through the year, I didnt apply till october. Also spots are fairly competitive, so dont think its easy to get a place

 

[s2ophie]

its pretty late but it can't help trying. once offers come out ppl who had been offered place might not end up coming to UNSW. I would send off your form but ring the college you are applying for and say why you're applying so late.

It's OK, ace. I still think you awesome, even if you have bad grammar.

you're one of a kind for thinking like that O.O

on the other hand, living in college could potentially be good for using CSE computers at night, it'd just be a short walk there.. (thinkin of late night quakin)

 

[Slidey]

Thinking he is awesome or that he has bad grammar or both?

I was kidding about his grammar.

 

[ace]

I think you awesome

The only part I am acknowledging.

You have committed a GRAMMATICAL ERROR. You will be SEIZED for RE-GRAMMAR EDUCATION.

Should be "you're" not "you".

The post count grows each and every day.

Need I refute such. The point is made by your post, or rather, lack there of use of grammar.

I think all the colleges will accept foundation studies students. However it may be too late to apply for most now. If youre a guy, you might still get into Warrane college - I know a guy who applied last year not long before now and still got in, you can apply online.
