And I was considering to join Curtin Uni. Now I have second thoughts.

Anyway, would like to know how is Curtin's accommodation there. Planning to either apply for Erica Underwood House or Vickery House. Which one is better in terms of space/furniture. I am going to apply for the Chemical Engineering Course there. Would also like to know how is the student life there and how is the student association(community) there. Any current students that can give their opinion in this matter.

Secondly, I also considered Newcastle Uni as another choice to apply for a Chemical Engineer Course. Would like to know the same things as above.

In summary, would like to know the general info on:

1. How does the University fare on the course I want to apply(chem Eng)
2. How is the community there?
3. How is the weather there?
4. The life there.

Harlo, I'm currently in Perth, well, just randomly being here once in a while. Indeed, UWA and Curtin are the 2 top Engineering schools in WA. From what i've heard from my seniors, UWA offers more theory studies than practical while Curtin's engineering course is more keen towards the practical side. Both of them have their own pros and cons depending on which one you might be interested in.


Added on September 26, 2008, 6:18 pm

Harlo, i'm from Vickery House actually xD Canning Student that is. The price for next year's in vickery is 130 dollars along with facilities fee and activity fee. Vickery is a one storey ground, here rooms are all quite near with land around. Erica is a three storey place which i've never been before. But VIckery is okay, quite cozy and really near curtin and it's bus stop.

so, what course are you planning to take after leaving canning? tongue.gif

the rate i keep hearing is around 2k to 2.5k thereabouts. i've never heard anything more than 3k
We had our TR applied through him, so he says 9k is a special price for past clients ...

This is ripping off, lucky my dad applied himself. sweat.gif

Agree with the clean air, I used to have asthma triggers back in M'sia, hardly breath in an air-conditioned room, but since being here, I felt more healthy. rclxms.gif
