same thing happened to me - read in the information on accommodation thread

 

[frederick.lee]

yeh well im kinda confused, some ppl have offers already and others such as myself havnt... i'm kinda worried about actually accepting the offer from ANU just yet, incase i dont get any accomodation. but i guess that wont happen since i qaulify for the accom guarantee.

has anyone accepted the ANU offer to study without being made an accom offer?

 

[01169]

Yep

 

[Eriny]

Yeah, accept any offer that you get before it lapses and if it doesn't work out then apply later for something else. Although, chances are that it will work out because of the guarantee thing anyway

 

[blacksunset]

yah iv accepted mine.. but still worried about accommodation...

 

[Evilo]

Don't worry they will sort it out. Just check that online thing, you email inbox and junk emails. If you apply for the guarantee then there shouldn;t be a problem. If you havent recieved an intial offer already then i would call them tomorrow morning (9am would do, because no uni student would be up that early)

[FONT=&quot]There is an ATM in the foyer which dispenses a maximum of $200 in $20 notes each “hit”. [/FONT]

Are there any specific combinations of notes that can be withdrawn?

[FONT=&quot]Where your allocated room is found to be in an unacceptable condition it may be cleaned by Housekeeping staff and a minimum of $50.00 cleaning fee imposed. Repeat offenders may have to show cause why they should remain at the College.

Just how unacceptable is 'unnacceptable'?

$20 increments i think - upto $200

Just how unacceptable is 'unnacceptable'?

"bodily fluids"/vomit on the floor etc - they expect you to clean those sort of things up yourself. They will give you that "bodily fluid powder" stuff though. Some of the cleaners get a bit ancy if you leave the floor covered in mess, but thats not really a(n) health issue (so you won't get fined for that).

If you want your privacy or your room is shit and you dont want to see the cleaners that week, just write "no clean today thanks" and they won't come in.

Just got the latest updates on ANU O-Week

it says mooseheads anu BALL?
does taht mean like fancy ball or am i totally on the wrong path

 

[Evilo]

for girls that means "frocks" and dancing shoes, like an upmarket night out if that makes sense.

I'm not 100% sure though, i didnt go last year.

SUNDAY 17TH
- Breakfast and pots & pans sale
- Scav hunt/tour of Civic
- Drag N Diva Night! One of the most highly acclaimed nights of B&G O Week. Dress in anything bright, shiny, tight, short, skimpy, sequined, flimsy and provocative and be prepared for boys in skirts... And plenty of them.

MONDAY 18TH

- Classy Night/Seven Deadly Sins. A chance to frock up in your Sunday best for a (hopefully) less debaucherous evening of style and glamour.
