which state and unis are you guys going to?

Yup, like hihihehe said, rm 200 is very safe already. Looks like Tung Shin is the cheapest but must brave through the jam. I did mine at Young & Newton PJ and cost me rm 110. slightly more expensive but no jam

Ahahaha! Accomodation is a b*tch la. I also had a few problems myself. I submitted my acceptance on the 17th and I called them like on the 10th they told me they haven't received my acceptance yet. I panic la, coz due date was the 15th. So I made a few more calls and guess what, my acceptance was on the 'to be processed pile' -_____- The next day, I received email from them finally telling me that my aceptance processed already. aih.

sad huh =( stupid accommodation. Oh well, patience i guess.

you all stay at the on campus dorms is it? is that the accomodation you talking about?

Yup.

For those who are coming over, the Consumer Affairs website has quite a lot of information which would be helpful in matters such as loans, banking, renting properties, buying cars, electronics and other equipment, choosing ISPs and mobile phones etc.

Most of the information are very basic and of common sense, but it's a good headstart.

It's good the thread is back...

For students who are coming over to Brisbane, can look for me for assistance.

I am happy to help.

hey guys. i'm sure you all are much experienced in arranging a proper timetable. i 'm current in dilemma, not knowing which classes i should enroll into. i'll go straight to my point. based on your experiences in uni, do you think it's better to have a packed timetable whereby you do not have much free time between classes, say maybe just an hour lunch break (eg: classes start from 9:00 till 12:00 and you'll have your lunch break from 12:00 till 13:00, then continue with classes from 13:00 till ??). or do you prefer to have more free time between classes. for instance, having 3 hours of class, then lunch break and another hour of rest before heading back to class then have another 1 hour break again AND go for your last class afterthat?

question might seem confusing, do bear with it

ah yes, i totally understand. had a similar problem in my first semester.

Well, I guess it really depends on yourself and how heavy the class is.

Personally, I prefer to have less time in between because you may think that you can get something done during the free time but trust me, you won't. haha. Also, with a compact timetable, you may be able to go home a little earlier and avoid the jam(if you're driving).

For example, in my first semester, I had 3 classes in a row that amounted up to 5 hours non stop. It was tiring but I realised that I had more time to do my tutorials/lab work/study. On the other hand, in my 2nd semester, I had a 2 hour class and a 3 hour break afterwards and another 2 more classes after the break. At first I thought that I would have more time to do my tutorials during the break but I ended up going to Pyramid for lunch -__- Or if I stayed in the library, I would see some people I know and end up chatting with them. lol.

Long winded answer, sorry. hehe

hey guys..anyone here is going to uSyd ?? =D

@bibg - i prefer to have my classes together. because sometimes in between classes you have nothing to do. then yeah. you get bored. then you start thinking. should i go home. should i stay here. should i go study. in the end you get annoyed hahahah. pack all your stuff together then open up time on other days. i packed all my classes on Mon, Wed, and Fri. and very few or none on Tuesday and thursday. just to have day off to do nothing or to catch up on school work or whatever.

i might be going to utas. On campus accomodation is full. sigh./ havta stay off campus now.

Haya, could you add me to the ANU list?

Thanks.

thanks ostangel and panda-man, really apprieciate both your quick replies.

i guess i'll be doing the same as the both of you. a packed timetable with less hours between classes definitely sound more promising. what about lunch breaks, do you all miss much of them? i'll be living on-campus and my food isn't self catered. no matter how i fix my timetable, i will surely miss out 1-2 lunch breaks every week, does that sound normal? i didn't know planning my own timetable could be so troublesome, ah!

oh and anyone here going unsw for their first year this march?
