I haven't signed anything yet. All I've done is transfer money to UniLodge. What I meant by another offer is that it's at a completely different uni, so I don't think that's a problem. Cheers for the reply, BTW. I hope it doesn't mean I lose my deposit... it was like $800!

So once you send the money is there any way of getting out of it? Got another offer with cheaper/better accommodation that I want to take.

What would people say the ratio of international to local students at UniLodge would be? By local I mean Australia, not Canberra or the ACT.

So once you send the money is that basically confirming you have accepted, and you're now locked in (40 odd week contract)? I was just wondering because late offers came out yesterday. What happens if we want to accept another offer? Surely there has to be signing of thing, yeah?

Hey I have a friends who's going to Fenner. What are the rules on staying over?

Check this out. This is from the email I was sent at 5:14:37 PM today. "Please note your application fee & security deposit must be received into our account by Thursday 31 January 2008. We will not be able to guarantee your offer of accommodation after the 31st January." Considering I didn't...

Got an email from ANU today... and a call, but I was working. Got an offer for 3 bedroom multishare at UniLodge. $231/week without food. It's better than the $260 for the single. I'll definitely be looking into those bursaries. I'll try for a transfer into another hall for second semester. All...

I thought ANU gave new students preference over returning ones, considering second year students have had a whole year to adjust to Canberra and meet new people. :confused:

Hmm... drunk biking... that's legal, right?

I got the same email too. I checked my application status and it has FINALLY changed to 'academic offer accepted', even though I accepted it more than a week ago. It will suck if the accommodation is far away. It will mean having to keep an eye on the time when you're out, so you can get the...

Yep

Trust me man, I know how you feel. But if you wanted UL you can have my offer lol. It seems weird that I didn't get B&G, yet it's obviously not full. Makes me feel super special about not being accepted!

Thanks for the reply. I was a bit worried (I still am), because I was reading posts from a couple of years ago that said if you didn't apply before September you probably wouldn't get an offer. Maybe there were less residences back then. I applied on the 9th January, so I'm still worried about...

How's journalism at UC regarded? I know it has strong links with the Federal Parliamentary Press Gallery, Federal government departments and with the National Press Club. Also, studying in the nation's capital would be an advantage. How's the broadcast stream? What I mean is how is it regarded...

Thanks for that. I still don't think it's worth it. How many people in the late rounds get accomm offers? If they get some there must be vacancies somewhere. I'll try to convince the uni the best I can.

I know I can't get it now because of my parents income. I asked Centrelink a few days ago if the payments would be based on my parents income (even though I'd be living 3.5 odd hours away), and they said it would be.

The main deal is it's around $263 per week. This doesn't include food, and I've heard internet there can be quite expensive. All up it would cost me more than $300 per week. No way I can afford that. I don't even make that much now working a 25 hr week. My friend who's also going to ANU, who got...

How competitive is accommodation at UC? If I've already applied for accommodation prior to the main round offers being released, but I get an offer in the late round, what would the chances of getting an accommodation offer be? Cheers.

Hi. I checked my online application because I applied for accommodation and it says Unilodge. It still says "Academic offer made", though. There's no way in hell I can afford to stay there. I emailed the Uni last night but aren't expecting them to do anything. B&G was my first preference, so...

Hey all. Well I got in to BInfTech. Boy am I glad the cutoff didn't rise. Now all I've really got to decide is a major. I'm leaning more towards the New Media Arts major. I noticed that BA New Media Arts also offers the major IT in New Media Arts. Are they the same course, or do they differ...
