Meals wise, I'd say $8 to $9 a meal on average should be decent enough, it'd be a lot cheaper if you cook yourself.

will be going to uni of melb around july 13-15th(tickets havent been confirmed, apparently for student price, they tend to delay confirming it... ), apartment starts on 16th, whats the first thing i should do when i get there?

ouh, and anyboyd know if melbourne student house on vale street is a good place? just paid for it yesterday, hopefully idp contacts them immediately(went through idp for accom) cos the deadline is on tuesday XD

ouh and why do you guys say that idp isnt helpful when it comes to accommadation? cos i was sceptical at first after reading this thread but found them to be very...... accommodating

Hi there, I'm going to UNSW next week, probably on 14th July / 16th July.

Right now im having difficulty in finding accommodation..

I have been searching through Kingsford and Randwick area, up to no avail =(

So anyone here going there as well? Maybe we can stay together or something?

LOL thanks!

Btw, im taking mechatronics engineering, moving into year 2 session 2.

Any seniors / peers over here?

Oh yeah I got to UNSW today. What a beauty... but it's so damn big.

Bigger than TAR College. XD I think ... Maybe it's the design.

Erm 1 question. I've been searching for a Snooker/Pool shops here in Sydney and I haven't found any!
I was wondering if UNSW has one or not...

O rly? How much is a game of pool ?

sydney is so cold ><

cheesenium; so in aussie they dont require further math in a lvl? cuz i rmb in uk they do require further maths for actuarial science. so are u studying dat? at the Macquarie University? so wat about dat uni?

TFN, about 2 week if i`m not mistaken.cant really recall.

want to ask something here.
will my friend be taxed if i sent some textbook over to australia? because its cheaper to buy it here and be sent there.

BTW, yeah. the books in Aus are quite expensive, but dun forget, you can use it for tax return...
