QUOTE(zeke'stah @ Jan 5 2011, 02:58 AM) haha. she's popular everywhere... haha... lol, there we go. That is why ppl don't come here. it's in tasmania. >_< a small deserted island where no man has gone before! lol.i'm starting off at saibt and then to uniSA for marketing and comm. it's a double major i guess. i like the freedom that uniSA give their students, like one of the forumers posted about adelaide U and uniSA. Added on January 5, 2011, 2:59 am where is hobart man? is it anywhere near adelaide? |

QUOTE(limeuu @ Jan 6 2011, 07:23 AM) with the new points system due to start in July, you will not have enough points as a fresh graduate to apply, unless you get band 8(all components) for ielts.......... I thought this only applies to those who are not in the SOL? That's what I heard. Those who aren't in SOL needs band 8 for the extra mark to be eligible. so... even if our course is in SOL, we still need band 8 for every components for IELTS to be eligible to apply for PR?of course, this may all change again by the time you graduate..... |

QUOTE(limeuu @ Jan 6 2011, 11:46 AM) you can't get a job without a resident visa......otherwise you have contravened your student visa and will be deported........ ah~ thanks limeuu =) yeah, tasmania is considered rural area, so we get extra points here =D but band 7 shouldnt be a prob for those who're already studying in aussie. gosh they sure have tighten up the PR application system =(however, if you are good/lucky enough to have a job offer, and the potential employer is willing to sponsor your application, then you have enough points with lower ielts to apply for 886........ otherwise, even if you have a job, it's work experience that gives you points, not the job..... go search the dimmi site for details......... Added on January 6, 2011, 11:51 am there is no more points for your profession, unlike before...... but if your profession is NOT in the sol, you CANNOT apply for 885......... for you specifically, there is an extra category you will come under, which is the 'professional training' category..........so it will not affect you, at least till after the housejob........but you will then have points for 1 year work experience, so only need band 7......... there are also points for region, and employer/relative sponsorship, so if you have that, you can reduce the requirement even to band 6........ |

QUOTE(elainor @ Jan 7 2011, 11:18 PM) hey guys!! how u doing? Currently im still deciding whether to study in UNSW or UWA. By the way im choosing biotechnology... wonder is it a good major to choose?? ah~ I was in UWAFP 3 years ago =D haha~ (2008 batch) um, I don't think there's a pure biotech degree offered in UWA right? They offer BSc majoring in molecular biology if I remembered correctly. Sydney has more happening, but IMHO Perth is just right for me =) both are wonderful unis.I had received both offer letters...i could cope well in this 2 cities as i have stayed in perth for a year and a half to pursue my foundation UWAFP and sydney for around a month...both city life suits me well. But then it makes me wonder which uni provide better teaching and reputation... If anyone happened to study either one of these uni...Kindly provide me some details like the study life in the Uni that i mentioned above... Help would be appreciated!! cheers! |

QUOTE(zeke'stah @ Jan 23 2011, 07:50 PM) hey guys, i'm thinking of getting the SIM ONLY plan by THREE. $35 a month...Do i need a bank statement for that or can it be obtained asap?? I reckon yes, cos you're still signing up for a plan, just without the phone =) so you'll need a bank statement, and your passport =) and I think your visa too to see how long your stay in aus will be. |

QUOTE(zeke'stah @ Jan 28 2011, 08:39 PM) compare the plans. when I got my plan, voda gave me better deals so I went for voda. but now the two companies are merging, shouldnt be much difference between them in terms of rates and coverage. |

QUOTE(haya @ Jan 28 2011, 09:43 PM) Pricing maybe. The merger has not shown any sharing of infrastructure, partially it is quite hard to merge their business cases and billing systems together. Keep in mind Telstra owns about 40% of Three's 3G network, (part of the reason why Three has a roaming arrangement with Telstra) so its not as simple as flicking the switch. 3G coverage at my place is terrible. At my old house, i get 1 miserable bar of 3g. Not to mention that the 3G is really slow too. Oh and I'm referring to Voda. I get similar complaint from friends using 3 in Perth so I thought that maybe they are using the same infrastructure/3G facilities. =/ anyways, for better coverage and 3G speed, go for optus / telstra. The reason why I didn't take optus is because they don't allow international calls on the caps. so that's a major bummer.I would love to get onto Vodafone's network. For all their faults their coverage in Brisbane is better than Three's, largely due to their 2G 900Mhz network. |
