Did you even go to open day? If not, don't be disappointed.

ive got an interview in january for johns but apparently most of them have allready been or are being done soon. i went to the openday and johns looked damn nice but i guess its pretty hard to get into seeing as they're the only one that interviews. if anyone has been to the interviews then any impressions, advice etc would be good...

Because you haven't actually experienced St. Johns. Its a horrible college, bruce hall and ursula are alot better.

I had my interview their mid-December. I was qutie ok, i was a bit nervous but the people were nice and very approachable. It was more like a conversation. the main thing is to be natural and yourself. I liked the look of Johns too so I hope I get in there but I dont really mind as long as I can live somewhere (Yay ANU gurantee accomm to all first years not from canberra.

fingers crossed for Johns-I'll make up my own mind thanks. I am sure the other halls are just great. we'll see.

Johns is the ugliest of the colleges, exlucing ursula AND they're rooms are small. I will say nothing about the composition of the characters that reside at John's you will find that out for yourself

unlike ursulla john chooses you, you have to have relitively outstanding merits to get into johns. And actually do things for the community unlike some colleges john wants givers not takers, this improves the college.

who's going to johns ill be there got in no probs.

Im just curious as to what sort of questions they ask at the interview? Like "why do you want to come to this college?"

"Um... because it's too cold to live on the streets???"

What kind of questions were people asked? I just think its a bizare thing that they conduct interviews.

they ask what you could do to contribute, how you would fit in and general info about you personally and what you have done in terms of merits and achievements they just want a feel of what type of person you are.

is that all right mate? if you want more info please ask.

listen you ignorant prick, unlike some people, most likely you, i'm paying my self through uni, so i'm looking for a cheap and value for money deal, i'm not on a holiday i'm there to study to take my career further so i don't need a "way better" college.

in fact half a dozen of my mates are at johns and thye reckon its decent enough

Again, I'd just like to say that you'd fit right in.

emphasise any community stuff you've done, if you get Ken the master of college he'll love it

i think neo_o might just be a little jealous that johns not only took out the sports sheild but the arts one as well
