Ursula Hall (2 Viewers)

[Starlight39]

Hi

So, I'm thinking I'd like to apply for accomodation at Ursula Hall. I was wondering though how many people they take (on estimate) per year and what the chances of me getting in are? Do they have any preference for courses, domestic/international etc?

Thanks in advance to anyone who answers

Not sure how many places we give each year, but as a rough guess I'd say 70-90 out of ~200 people overall. There doesn't seem to be any particular preference for courses from what I can tell. Proportion of domestic to international students is probably 70-30 or something like that, it seems fairly reflective of the uni population in general. These are all rough numbers, I don't have the stats unfortunately.

If you're at Open Day tomorrow I might you there!

Thanks for your reply

I went to open day yesterday, only got around to three of the halls though. Ursula is still first preference, then Bruces (I actually really liked that place ) then Johns (can't say I had much of an interest there). Anyway, can't wait to start at ANU

Ursula is awesome (in my completely unbiased opinion), Bruce is moderately awesome, and Johns... uh... just... no.

Hope to see you here next year! What are you planning to study?

As soon as we walked out of Johns my Mum and I instantly agreed I was not going there

I'm hoping to get into Law/Arts, but if that doesn't happen I'm quite happy to just do a straight Arts degree and then go on to do something else to add onto it (maybe a Diploma or something... not quite sure yet). My two picks Arts-wise are ANU and Sydney, so if I get into either I'll be quite happy. I just wish this whole HSC business was over!

Hey, I did not get a chance to go up to canberra and check out the accommodation.
I've put down B&G based on reading previous threads about the accommodation...but some of those threads are a bit old, and I'm worried that some of the facts may be a bit outdated.
For those who applied for ursula, wha attracted you to ursula?...I'm still deciding.

1) I can't cook Rules out B&G and Fenner.
2) I'm a fairly sensible person. Rules out Johns.
3) I don't do Arts/Law. Rules out Burgmann.

That leaves Bruce and Ursies. Ursies is smaller (both in terms of number of residents and the number of buildings we have) and it seemed quite a nice place when I visited. Bruce is decent as well from what I've seen, but I ended up at the other end of Daley Road and I haven't regretted it!

Could someone give me an estimate as to how much Bruce and Ursula would cost weekly for 2012?

Damn, what do people think about this? Will it stop people going there?
