Hey guys, for a quick background feel free to check my last blog post.

To sum it up I'll be studying abroad this next semester (July-Nov) and I was wondering if any students there are looking for a flatmate for that time period. I know it's sort of a long shot, so I understand if there aren't any takers, but I would rather live with some Australians than with the other study abroad people (although that should be fun too).

Please post/pm if you think this could work out and we can talk further.

I'm getting very excited, only 3 months till I'm on the other side of the world!

I can't help you with a place to live, but as a teacher who has seen many many exchange students come through the school, go live with the natives. You will have a much better time, and much better experience (9 times out of 10) than living with other exchange students. You will avoid the angsty homesickness from others, and the clique forming that invariably happens.

You could also check the university website / craigslist.

Sniffing petrol and losing a thong at the servo's always been the recipe for a great night out.

Yeah, I was sort of hoping to live with natives, but from what I understand the dormitory housing is very limited and I'm a little hesitant about hopping on craigslist and randomly selecting a roommate.

there's 2 internets at UNSW, there's uniwide which is pretty unstable and inconsistent if you're using it wirelessly, some days it's really slow and drops out all the time other days it's quite fast etc. i tried play SC on it and the connection drops out like every 5-10 minutes, cant really play on iccup.

there's a separate internet connection for the colleges that you pay for, it's pretty good for australian standards but charges .3 c/ MB.

LOL uniwide dropped out on me while i was posting this. Ffffff

More internet quota, faster speeds, cheaper prices!

We've been working with ANU for some time to provide a better deal on internet speeds and prices for our residents.

From now on, your internet use is unlimited and will cost only $2 per week.

You will no longer need to top up your data account.

We have also dramatically increased capacity and reliability of service and so no more night time drop outs!

Accessing our new internet service is easy, there is no need to log in anymore, simply open your browser for instant net access.

How will it work? A $2 charge will be added to your account each week. For those who already have cash on their data account, you can ask reception to move this money to your occupancy account or leave it there for phone calls.

Internet speeds will be fastest (100Mbps) from 8pm to 8am and capped at 25mbps during the day from 8am to 8pm.


wut ;;
anyone know whats crap about unilodges?
i mean $10 for unlimited 25Mbps/100Mbps, do want.

Hehe, helpful thread.

I think I'm going to wait until I get down there and then hunt for an apartment while I stay in a hostel. A couple of people I met from my uni will be doing it with me.
