Gardens Point campus is all but closed. Its a lake everywhere. Those who live in the CBD are trapped in their own place. Kelvin Grove is still dry, but if Kelvin Grove Campus floods I don't think Brisbane will be quite livable.

In any case QUT is all closed, and the road to UQ is a river.

Ahh.. got a bit relieved. I applied uni B and C, via QTAC [Around mid-Nov, and both institutions under QTAC are notified with my application] and uni D via SATAC [once my Aussie year 12 results are out - end of Dec, they gave me an auto-conditional offer and advised me not to do anything till they send unconditional offers into my email]. Uni A is based from forecast results and gave me a conditional offer in early Dec and later to unconditional after submitting my results.

AFAIK,
Offer rounds for QTAC - Tomorrow [13/1] for Uni B and [14/1] for Uni C, but doubt it will arrive on time due to floods in Brisbane. Just notified, pushes till 20th of Jan. OMG!.
SATAC [Uni D] - [14/1].
Offer from Uni A - [14/1] It was made final by the administration dept. No appeals will be entertained.

Main preference: Uni B. However, the entry requirements for Uni B is sorta high. My results are somehow pretty close behind the course I would like to enrol, after looking at the OP table provided by QTAC, thought my interstate results might be converted slightly higher and may stand a chance to get in. Just read an article involving some statistics and shows majority of QTAC applicants are highly interested in commerce, which hinted me that the competition is going to be real stiff. It doesn't really matter if I get accepted or not at the end of the day, I just want to find out what's their response. Afraid once if I accept other offers and pay in beforehand, and what if this offer comes in later, I would definitely remind myself that I've lost such a great opportunity. Eligible for Uni C and D by fulfilling entry requirements before the offer letter stamps my destiny.

Uni A is definitely the last or second last preference, in case if all 4 institutions do not accept me.

Preferences
Uni B> Uni C/E> Uni D/ Uni A.

Lol, I guess I'm a bit of risk-taker than playing safe for now.

hahaha.....stressful being in your kind of situation man.. xD guess....you should just wait for UNI B.. i'm sure even if you don't get into UNI B, you can go for C or E then credit transfer to B?

That's a great idea. Different exposure and experiences. Hopefully it doesn't waste more time in doing additional units. . Hmm... but somehow.. I am not sure will that affect my exemptions for all fundamental papers for ACCA qualification. Hahaha, another problem comes along xD.

pick the best option yo' .. i'm sure it'll be alright, do however, try and avoid doing additional units.. haha

Thanks to everyone especially Shooters, december88 and zeke'stah, got my visa!! Would have liked to hook up with everyone but it seems we're all in different parts of Australia! Here's wishing everyone all the very best in your studies and undertakings Down Under. A new chapter for all of us.

good for you mate!! i wish u all the best!!! haahaa...stay in touch! and oh yeah, i'm going to Perth a few days after i arrive in adelaide... xD

Wow..you're going across the continent! Just visiting Perth, I am guessing..

yup. aunt's wedding there.. i'm reaching adel on the 10th, going to perth on 18th and back to adel on 20th. haha... orientation starts 21st...

What do you guys think of Brisbane. Wonder how long does it take for the city to recover from such disastrous nature phenomena. Do you think student accommodations are going to get interrupted?

come to adel and look me up man...

to be honest u can just walk in and scout urself, security isnt tight at all. In fact if u dress up, and act natural i think they wouldnt even ask u to scan ur membership card and its small enough for u to see around from the entrance itself.

o.o THAT small ar?? crap... tat sounds bad man. haha... u still gym frequently there?

No sweat , we help each other in this forum

All the best for you in Melbourne

I am glad you got your visa on time.
Now enjoy your time at home before going abroad.

True regarding the security, just before exam week a friend of a friend was stabbed multiple times with a knives in the gym in one of the uni's college and was hospitalized for 3 weeks.
He survived and to put cheery on the cake, he didn't have to do his exams and got all HDs in his course because his coursework's marks were near-perfect.
Nonetheless it is a traumatic experience from my point of view, lucky bloke he survived.
Anyway never workout in the gym alone, always practice the buddy system.

why was he stabbed?!! did he offend anyone?! it's not like aussie folks to suddenly do that?! or...maybe the stabber was mentally unsecured?? DUDE! now i'm scared to gym man!

That was a college's gym in North Adelaide, not university campus gym.
I forgot to mention he was stabbed because it was a robbery and he resists and he was the only one in the gym.

Paul, I live near that gym. Damn. I gotta be careful now cuz no more friend living with me cuz he finished his degree already. Sigh.

wow...ah..he should have just gave them what they wanted... damn this thieves. is this gym far from the city?

do students get an extra baggage (instead of the usual 20kg) ? I'm flying to Melb, just booked through S'pore Airlines. I don't think 20kg is enough for me
