Hey, I'm Alissa.

I go to Bulli High.. I want to get into B Psych at UOW but probably won't.. so B Arts is probably me.

Chose UOW because it's the closest Uni to home. (And obviously because the good ratings etc.)

So, i just wanna see who else is hoping for UOW.. what you wanna get into.. who you are.. In a friendly non-stalker way.

i'm lookin to get into arts or a double degree of arts and creative arts.

i'm up in sydney but i need to get away from this city for awhile and the gong isn't too far away, so it'd be good to get in.

i also have to live on campus not just cause its far away but my parents believe that you have to live on campus for the "real" college experience.

I totally disagree, and I've lived both on campus an off (am currently OFF and i LOVE IT).
But I guess the experience is different for everyone.

lol, I do three hours each way (Public transport factor, it's not actually that long a trip by car), and think that sometimes, but then I realise that living closer to uni would just make me sad.

it depends how quickly you think you'll adapt to campus life though...cos i live half the week on campus and the other half at home (3.5hr train ride away), and i've only just started to realise what i'm missing out on when i go home! so i'm staying down here for the whole weekend this week...for the first time haha. on that note, any suggestions for a movie character i can go to the ce party as? i'm looking your way tom and karen...
