Yeah,city and state could work too.

Anyway,I think i need some help in renting in Sydney.I still have no permenant accommodation yet.The colleges didnt reply me at all.Is there anything i can do while im in malaysia,other than sending the temporary accommodation form to ISS?
Yeah,thats the problem.Like that,i also can do it myself lah.Applying isnt the hardest part.

I have send an email to them and they just say applicants will be notified if they are accepted.I guess i have no chance to stay there.

I have a rough idea where to stay.Kingsford or something is the best since it's the closest with my faculty.Randwrick is ok too.

Im one man show there.None of my friends are going to UNSW.So far,i only know you,chris and another friend of mine who is doing 2nd year engineering.

I read something about getting another unipass from IT Desk, I guess it won't be the same with the password we login to enrol in myUNSW. Then, we can access our unimail. Correct me if I'm wrong.

i bought a jetstar ticket to go back this time..i bought a sale ticket from jetstar last year to come back..it was $250(tax included)..
kl-syd for MAS is around rm4400 return..>.<

maybe i should fly to brisbane first..then take the airasia X..

u should be lucky u even get 20gb. some of us dont even get that luxury. im stuck with 5gb.
alot of malaysians complain about streamyx and boast about how much they download per day ( OMG i download 30gb today. im cool )
i think these ppl might not survive in australia ( capped land )
i believe most of the internet packages in australia are capped. so good luck managing your internet usage.

anyone flying off today?

Hey guys...i am currently studying at sydney.I plan to use Unwired Broadband.I will probably choose $30 a month which will give u a 3GB n 256kbks or $50 for 5GB and 512kbks...Do u guys know about this broadband?Is it good?

Yeah,thats really wtf lah.12 weeks is very little time to study.Have ot start studying now.

Whats StuVac by the way?

You only got 2 more semester to go.I still got 7 more to go though.

hello,

i'm planning to transfer to rmit come july, but i'm quite vague about the cost of living in the city as the
campus is in the CBD. my estimation is around 20,000AUD$ per year which is equivalent to my course fees.
any comments on whether that is accurate or well off the figure. :/
this means i'd have to spend around 100k per year. and btw i'm studying IT ..
sigh. the cost is almost the same as
an engineering one.

can anyone give me a rough figure on the cheapest rent per week in the city or surrounding suburbs not further than 15 minutes away? and do give some examples of suburbs or road names.

can i cover the rent just by working the maximum 20 hours per week?

and what is the tax rate like there for part timers?

thanks

Damn,why din come to Sydney.
Do i need to buy my return air tickets to Sydney now?

I have book my tickets to go back to Malaysia during the winter break.

How is Jetstar?Is it good?Im thinking of taking Jetstar when im going back to Sydney after the semester break.

question : for those of you guys that have been in sydney for an extended period of time, how often it is that conductors will go onto trains to check tickets/concession passes? i've been taking the train pretty regularly (maybe once every two days since 2 months ago) but i haven't met any. i've taken the bus everyday slightly before i started taking the train tho, and out of my daily bus travel in two weeks, i've met one conductor checking us out.

just wanted to know cos when i was taking the bus i nearly got busted for using a concession ticket

it was 37x, forgot the last number, should be between 371-374. was riding from cowper st in randwick to the city cos i was still staying at a temp place, and this was what happened :

i was a regular day, i think the sunday after mardi gras, was heading to the city when the bus stopped over to pick up some dudes along the bus lane beside the cricket grounds. right after they came up, they went 'we are from the something or other authority, please prepare your tickets/concession passes so we can have a look'. i was thinking i'm screwed since i was using a concession pass (just moved to syd and still adjusting to the transportation price which is exorbitant!), and i was right. when the conductor came to me and i showed him the ticket, he demanded to see my concession pass. i went 'do we need to have one? i'm just here on vacation' and i pulled out my uwa student card instead.

i told him i was a student in uwa, am on a holiday visiting friends and checking the universities, and will be in sydney for 5 days only. so he took my card and asked me to wait while he went on to check the others on the bus. finally when they stopped at another stop(still at the cricket grounds), a few blokes were asked to follow them down. i nearly pissed myself cos i knew the fine is gonna cost more than 100. then the dude gave me my card back, told me 'you have to have a concession pass to use this ticket' and something else which served as a warning, which i nodded in agreement and apologized while looking blur. i assume they had better things to take care of (like maybe the dudes who looked like they rode for free). so in the end i was scott free.

i moved to wolli creek only 2 days after the ordeal, and travel on the illawara line and the east-hills/airport line nearly everyday, but have never seen checks done on any trains, apart from the occassional railway officers conducting patrols(security rather than fee evasion) or some cleaners walking in the train picking up rubbish.

hence my question, do they really patrol the trains like how the check the busses?

dude..aka johnkor, plssssss say your sentence properly.   I dun get what you trying to say.

No I mean how many studying hours at the University do we have(Usually)?
My brother asked me that so I was kind of curious to know.

Of course you and I will still have to spend time studying at home, but I don't think you need 10 hours unless if you can't solve a problem or something. Well not at my level I guess, YEAR3 or 4 maybe?

Then usually how many hours do you spend on every subject?
And what course are you taking?

Yeap, I'll be staying an hour away from the University.
I think, that's what my cousin told me. Have to sit train, then bus. BLUR ~~

My cousins are at Roseville 2069. UNSW is ... 2052.
Is it far ?

Well, I'm not sure I have to pay rental or not because my dad expects me to pay. It'll be weird if I stay at my cousin's house and don't give them some incentives right?
