How much is your limit?

Residential colleges usually have very generous connections. A friend of mine in Palmy gets 10GB/month for $40. And it wasn't that long ago that Otago gave its students unlimited use of their network.

[rant]
i curse the day the internet escaped from the labs to the masses. We were quite happy in our labs, with unlimited 5Mbit connections. Now we are reduced to a 750MB rolling quota, but they still tease us with 5Mbits of speed.

Its all those people on Myspace/Facebook/Youtube I tell you. People who think they are 1337 just because they can move some widgets around, but know nuts about PERL.
[/rant]

fantagero, how much are you paying for your place at Ilam Village per week? It seems like its the same company setting up the student accommodation here in QUT, Brisbane. (http://www.clv-kelvingrove.com.au)

And yes, once you've tried real fresh milk, it is hard to go back to powdered milk.

hey guys... im interested in transferring to the university of auckland. im currently in my first year of the inti-university of adelaide twinning programme. hoping to transfer to auckland in my 2nd year. i would just like to know whetheer its absolutely neccesary for me to take ielts? coz i hav an 1A for SPM Gce O english. afta that i did SAM and obtained an A for ESL (English as Second Language Studies). are these qualifications accepted in place of the IELTS?
I really want to know as it can save me the considerable cost of doing IELTS.

And also, as a transfer student, what are my chances of gaining entry into auckland uni? wad are the minimum grades required? any auckland uni students care to share their experiences?

thx....

what course are you doing? Most transfer students i know just stay for one or two months. Not the entire year. Besides, since you are twinning to adelaide, why bother coming to Auckland?

For more information, please inquire Auckland Uni itself.

Assuming you get into Auckland U as an International student, and while studying you (NOT your parents) end up with a NZ PR, you will booted out of your course, and will have to reapply as a domestic student. While there is a high chance you will get it, you might like to keep this fact in mind.

As for transfering to UoA, it is done by a case by case basis by the university.

From my experience, no. You could check with the uni but they'll prob tell u to take IELTS. Saves them work when there's only one system.
