QUOTE(chris_c28 @ Jan 6 2007, 12:39 AM) UNSW is reowned for its Engineering programs in Australia. However, it's in Sydney, so naturally it can be quite expensive. The more affordable options are University of Adelaide or University of Queensland. Orientation usually lasts 5 days (1 week), though you're not expected to be there everyday (you wouldn't want to). Thanks,is that any more average to good engineering uni in Australia?Im afraid i cant get into those uni you have mention just now.They seems to be damn good to me.

QUOTE(pangping1510 @ Jan 7 2007, 01:55 AM) how abt the telco and internet provider in aussie? i just need a mobile telephone number so that people can contact me and light user of internet...few hours a week maybe...can suggest?=) Telco: Tel$tra Internet provider: I recommend Internode. Never ever get Tel$tra's internet service, aka Bigpond, cause they are friggin expensive and very limited download quotas. Mobile: Using Three services because of video call for free under same network, not sure about other providers, 2nd choice would be Vodafone. But then again, check out their webby for more infos on specials.

YES! Finally, more people here coming to UNSW. We are observing an 18% increase in international applications this coming session, one of the strongest increase ever seen. Learn to enjoy sausages, pizzas and beer. In the first few weeks of uni, you'll be fed this a LOT. Be here early (although CNY is late this year  ), preferably a couple of weeks before orientation to settle down and familiarise yourself with the surrounding suburbs. Enrol now (you can do it online) before classes are filled up. Do not use the auto-timetabling feature, instead plan your classes well. The new, centralised timetabling system has caused quite a lot of tears on this end due to some nasty clashes. If you have an unavoidable clash, contact the lecturer and course administrators as quickly as possible because it may be difficult to resolve such issues. During orientation and first week of uni, get to know as many people in your course as possible. Surviving uni is a lot about socialising as it is about academic achievements. Spend some time travelling (although every suburb here's almost the same) because when uni starts, you might not have the time to do so. This post has been edited by chris_c28: Jan 7 2007, 08:16 PM
