    What is double spacing?

    Just go onto Microsoft word, go to the page layout section, then to the paragraph section and just set it at double spacing.

    living costs

    If you are living on Campus accommodation then you don’t have to worry about any of these, as it’s all included, and some campus accommodation also includes all your food. (on campus you dont pay any bills, just your rent). If you are off campus in your own place/sharing, it depends. It...

    Ancient History / Archaeologist students :

    With ANU: All 1ts years are guaranteed accommodation at the University. The prices range depending on your residence you get – some halls are 160 a week, other are 350, so it depends. But it is guaranteed if you are a first year and by second year a lot of people make friends and move out to...

    Ancient History / Archaeologist students :

    I’m currently studying the “Bachelor of Archaeological Practice” at ANU down in Canberra. I love it. There is plenty of work in the area, especially overseas. Plus, you are not only limited to Archaeology, there are many other careers it can lead to. There are plenty of field schools around...

    Teaching in Czech Rep

    If you are French born and bred then you don’t need a visa or papers to work in the Czech Republic! You would be a French Citizen, which makes you an EU citizen, just the same as people from the UK or any EU country, so you can go and live in any other EU country and work without problems...

    NO accommodation

    I agree, I don't think anyone is saying put second or third years out, but the point is, second and third years have been in Canberra for over a year, they already know the place, people a jobs, so it's not hard to get off their bums and look for a place. For first years it's all new to them...

    NO accommodation

    It might work, but when we tried it last year the UAS just told us it wasn’t their problem as they had stuck to their guarantee of getting is Accommodation and that’s it. I think you guys should stick together and on O week join as many things as you can, that way you won’t be left out and...

    NO accommodation

    I agree, they leave it until the last min to give you a crap offer and then you have no choice but to accept it. Not really fair on first years, or internationals (I can't belive they have done it to international students, thats terrible, leaving it so late, it's hard enough to move country...

    No accommodation offers. Rex?

    It was both, but they weren’t noisy post grads, they were too quiet, and when they did talk they only spoke in their own little groups (as most were there from the second semester the year before) and their own languages. And the last thing they wanted to do was talk to first years, lol...

    Seriously, I think if they affiliate you with a college and have 20 of you there then it will be fine and nothing like what we had last year, so keep your hopes up that it goes that way and it should be all good. :)

    Most people there were in their late 20’s and early 30’s, some in their 40’s (just look at the facebook group pics, lol). We didn’t get affiliated with any hall; we were “Toadies” lol. We left by our own choice and broke our lease agreements, I broke mine with the idea of having to...

    In the hotels I think the put you there until a place becomes available in a residential hall. Which could be weeks or the next semester. If they put you in places like Toad Hall, it’s usually for the semester or year (I had a year contract and got out of it after 6 weeks).

    Hmmmm... Maybe it won’t be as bad with 20 of you as there are 10 people in each section, so they might have 2 sections just for you guys. In each of the sections that have 10 people, you share a kitchen, two sinks and two toilets (although usually 1 toilet/sink/shower is reserved for girls...

    This is so true for that course. I had him as my tutor also, and the very first tute and me and a girl in the class didn’t agree with his particular view and the reaction was amazing, like how dare someone not agree with it. We quickly learned, nod your head agree and get the course over...

    OK, I decided to do the IR degree because I thought it would be really interested and I’m generally interested in International Politics and Relations, but I found the degree far from it, I also think it depends on the lecturer you get. Subjects I didn’t like and why: EURO Europe in the...

    Changed degrees completely, went from the Bachelor of Arts (International Relations) to the Bachelor of Archaeological Practice (what I originally wanted to do but got sucked into changing my preferences to IR because I thought it sounded interesting, lol). Will major in Archaeology and...

    You haven’t met me then, I was ready to hang myself by the time we got to the Role Play in Money, Power, War. And Jim George just put me to sleep in all the Intro to IR lectures! lol

    It’s definitely possible to do two languages together. I was doing French and German (eventually dropped the French as couldn’t stand the teacher). The German teachers are great, we learned so much after a few weeks in the beginners’ class. I have friends who do Spanish also (along with German)...

    LOL, you’ll either love it or hate it. I did it last year and changed degrees this year, bored me to death, a lot of my mates doing it changed this year too. But then I also know some friends who loved it. lol What subjects you doing for it first semester? Euro? History? What Language?
