Depends on what you want to do, there's always sh!t-kicking jobs around. Money is money at the end of the day.xsjado said:Also, how easy is it to find part-time work in Canberra?
thanks a lot Evilo. Murrays is really expensive.Evilo said:Murrays/Greyhound do busses that go from Central Station to the Jollimont Centre (n the middle on canberra centre). They cost around $25, but you can get them as low as $15 if you book them 3 weeks in advance.
They do at least 3 trips to canberra a day ... each.
No renting of rooms without prior consent, and you are reimbursed for the time your room is in use. All colleges bar Fenner on ANU campus. Have a look at google maps, it's not a journey to get to campus from the station.xsjado said:And also, is it true that during the semester breaks the colleges rent the rooms out to sporting teams and everyone has to find somewhere else to stay?
EDIT: how far away is the train station from B&G or the other colleges? I don't own a car so I'm going to have to use a lot of public transport..
or my bike..
enter you student concession card (you'll get one too when you come to ANU) and i usually have to pay $24-26 on murrays.xsjado said:thanks a lot Evilo. Murrays is really expensive.

Are tutorials or lectures ever on weekends?
no, but you may* have the option of "selling" your room back to the college so they can rent it out.And also, is it true that during the semester breaks the colleges rent the rooms out to sporting teams and everyone has to find somewhere else to stay?
train station is in the middle of no-where! Canberra operates on a bus system. There is a bus that goes down daley road (stops outside all the halls) and then goes into the city), or you can take the short 15min walk into the city bus terminal and take any bus from there. Transport hasn't been a problem, especially if you lve on campus - everything is a short walk away.EDIT: how far away is the train station from B&G or the other colleges?

i'd say it's probably a 4km walk from jollimont centre to the halls.Evilo said:It's in kingston (inner south).
Anyway, its just easier to take the bus. You can even walk from Jollimont to the halls and colleges (if your bag isnt too heavy)
dude its like 1.7km, and thats walking around anu (looked it up on whereis). Probably 1.5 if you cut through.jas0nt said:i'd say it's probably a 4km walk from jollimont centre to the halls.
If you call up ANU, on your first day they will pick you up from Jollimont/the airport for free.Sammy-Blue said:There is an oppurtunity for me to make money here but I can't see it clearly yet.
