there are many apartments in the city.. where they rent out rooms to students..

however downside to this is.. most of the ads ive seen say Girls only... or Asian prefereed....

its pretty discriminatory.. but thats the reality .. quite sad i no.. but you may be able to find accomodation further west

I think it might be because the people who own them are asian and might prefer people from their own race or similar?
and i guess guys would like a girl flatmate, and girls would of course prefer girls

oh. okay =) well if i lived in one of the UTS villages i'd probably want to live with a girl or guy whatever race i don't care as long as you don't make too much noise and can clean up after yourself. jeebus, is the asian population large or something? I must've been living under a rock ever since the HSC ended =/

I was actually suprised, I thought there would have been way more asians in my course, and at UTS in general. But there are more at UNSW i've heard.
But o well, I like how UTS is very multicultural its cool. :)
