if i go n check in early....
most probably... can go in with 10kg extra ar???
hahaha.....
how if i reli bring more than 30kg..
will they charge us extra??

anyone going to UQ in the coming feb intake??
i'm going to do my 2nd year Bachelor of Commerce in UQ, twinning program from HELP University College
sigh so far i can't find anyone to share accommodation with me..
anyone can give me ur review on Life at UQ?accommodations like international house or all the colleges?on or off campus better?
thanks in advance..

hm... maybe 30kg? not sure since my mum made the bookings, not me... have to check again. Apologies for wrong info if it's really 30kg

Not business class, just student ticket.

when u go in early, try to choose the counter tat has the least ppl on it and the friendliest looking attendant... best if ur the first in line ... usually they just wanna get the line going and since its early they hv plenty of "spare weight" . hvnt tried 10kg b4 but i had friends who managed to get past 38.5 and 39.5kg past SQ counters by going really early..

oh... reli??
hehe.. i can try then!!!!
so how long to be considered as EARLY oh??
but ho...
i thought... if itz too early....
then they will be very free...
nothing to do....
and will check our luggage SERIOUSLY!!!
hhaaha

Ppl usually state the condition when they advertise their books for sale. If it's not what you want, you can always decline.
Most books are in good condition because they are only used for a session or less.

UQ is a nice university. I can't say about the Bachelor of Commerce course in UQ, but overall UQ is a nice university. Great lakes, gardens etc and all. Facilities wise its also very good, and to be honest, I can't find much fault with UQ.

International house (http://www.internationalhouse.uq.edu.au/) is a great place to stay there. It really opens your eyes. I strongly recommend 1st time, 1st year students at least try to find university managed accomodation. Trying to fight with the Brisbane rental market will be murder. At least stay there for 6 moths, get used to the place and environment, and after sem 1 you might consider moving out.

At this late stage through, I'm not sure if there are still any places in the residential colleges. You better start making arrangements quickly. http://www.accommodation.uq.edu.au/ is a good place to start.

Good luck and welcome to Brisbane!


On another note, okay, okay, 7GB is not enough for CS students. So I do spend too much time in the library.

just bought a heck lot of stationaries, everything double xD including refills. now left foolscap papers =D

anyway, counting down till perth~ ^^ I'm kinda excited to go there, but kinda sad to leave my friends and family. lol

Seriously, no one studying in Tasmania?

why so sad jek; it aint like ancient time ..
so hard to travel
no ..rba so near ; can go back anytime
anytime can go back

Which part? Hobart or Launceston?

aiya air ticket so expensive leh xD

Thats the reality of studying overseas, really. Even the KCH-SIN tickets aren't that great these days. Can't wait for AK to do the KCH-SIN sector.

take air asia to johor > bus > sg lo xD

Time to get from Senai to the causeway; 2 hrs
Time to get from Kranji to City hall: 40mins
Time from City hall to Tanah Merah:25 mins
Tanah Merah to Changi: 5 mins
Time to wait in Changi because my flight is at night and I have to take the 7am flight so that I don't miss my flight: about 8 hrs

And how much do I save? Frankly, I'd pay the extra. I can earn more money, but all the money in the world cant buy a second of extra time.

Go figure. AirAsia wants to fly to Singapore, the kiasu Singaporeans say no. Tiger wants to do the SIN-KCh sector, Sarawak says yes, the Federal gov says no. So if it isnt the Malayans leeching off us, its the Singaporeans forsaking us. Either way, we loose. What the hell did we give Singapore Wee Kheng Chiang for?!

Anyone previously study in Bradford College or University of Adelaide??

Is it better to buy stationaries in Malaysia or in Australia?? I mean which country sell cheaper??

For those who take Computing,COMP1911,in UNSW.Could you tell me how hard is the subject?

I never learn programming before other than some simple modding.

Buying stationary in Malaysia will be cheaper, as the exchange rate does affect the prices. A 200 page exercise book goes for about A$1.20. However, don't end up with the "bring 4 packs of double A paper" syndrome!
