CSU Bathurst Kitchen Stuff (1 Viewer)

[spanish_rose]

Hey all,

Just wondering about the kitchens for the self catered people...where are they located on campus? i know you have to share kitchens with a couple of people, but what happens when you all want to cook something at the same time?! Also, do the kitchens have gas stoves?

Oh and another thing , (nothing to do with kitchens), is it worthwhile to bring a laptop, or will the computers in the library be alright?

Btw, let me introduce myself...my name is Sam, i finished yr 12 last year and was offered a place at CSU...i have deferred this year, and so shall see you all in 2006!

Gday Sam!
The kitchens are located in each block - 8 people to one kitchen. Electric stoves in traditional diggings, gas in new diggings
Its pretty well managed - ive been there almost 2 years now and never has everyone been cooking at the same time...
As for your computer - its worthwhile bringing it - that way you can do work in your room and shit - they all have broadband connections that you just hookup to your comp so you can access the net
That about it
Any more questions just fire away!
What course will you be doin btw?
Hope that helped

Oh yeah i almost forgot the title

Thanks for your help with those questions, fro!
8 people to one kitchen! Aye carumba! Ah well, i cant cook much anyway except the easy stuff which takes like 30 mins max anyway hehe

Oh yeah i wanted to ask about the gym, does anyone use it or does it just sit there with everyone's good intentions to use it lost somewhere (perhaps drowned under a couple of beers)?! And also accomodation, when do you guys put your accomodation preferences in for next year cos i think im gonna apply then also..

Yeah i know i have some random questions - there are heaps more random questions to come as next year draws closer....hehehehe!

i got accepted into Business (marketing) ....still thinking about whether its the right choice

The one at Wagga gets used... As does the squash and tennis courts - they are rather popular...

and the pool in summer, love that pool so deep

yeah the gym does get used.. especially at the beginning of the year when everyone is all fresh and dedicated to their new years resolutions.. then by mid year its only the hard core fitness junkies who brave the icy winds to treck from towers to the gym (on the diggings and windradyne side of the uni).. then by the time spring rolls around again evryone is ready to shed those winter kilos so it gets busy again!!

if you like to do classes, one of the gyms downtown- healthworld, does a $12 per week student deal where you can do as many classes you like from sunday to monday.. its a pretty sweet deal..

hope that helped..

(Probably should start a new thread, but i wont)

Thanks for that info, bex!
Yeah i've seen the gym and the front part of the uni actually. I went down there one day (i think it was a public holiday) and just had a look around the front part of the uni. I dont think i went much further back than the library. But as i recall, i think there was a lake or something on the map.....is that right??

Really must go down there for a proper tour someday...
And by the way, what is the Cindy ball like and when is it on?

Sam

That would be JOV dam.. if youre coming through teh gates its towards the left end of the uni..

Cindy Ball is insane! It is held in October.. this year on the 27th from Midnite till 6am. Its a formal occasion and there is a theme and bands and stuff. .. its held in the Uni bar and is totally BYO, and students only.

Village Fair is then held on the saturday after Cindy Ball... its our answer to big day out. Heaps of fun! i think i would rate it over vindy ball just cause im always too drunk to remember cindy ball!
