not sure of concert bands but i'm sure there are some - plus all the colleges go in the SFK band comp (thats only once a year) - i'd say bring your own instrument, unless its something like a piano or drums (albies have those in their music room, not sure if other colleges have something similar)
um as far as i've heard its hard to get a job after doing medical science.. only jobs i've heard are out there are things like genetic counsellors... and if ppl do medical science looking at transferring to med - you are more likely to get into med after doing nursing than med. sci (that comes...
yeah lots of ppl have fridges - good to keep the beers cold!
washing baskets are also good to carry stuff up to your room when you move in
and yes there is a box room (well at albies there is)
Re: General Drews/college F.a.q.
hmmmmm i'm at a catholic college and our rivals sing "one, two, sing us a tune - all choppers are bastards, three, four, sing it some more - all choppers are bastards"
looks like it's all pretty original!
yes a bucket would be handy if you aren't at albies and don't have the priviledge a sink... plus if you get sick and need to vomit and the bathroom is at the other end of the hall then it would just all be bad!
and yes - coathangers - A MUST!! (although i ended up borrowing lots last year and...
i think you have course advising one day in o'week and you should get all the booklets that argo was talking about.. then you enrol the next day of o'week
yeah there are a lot of mature age students and internationals there... i don't know much about it - but it's right at the uni (so you could get out of bed 5 mins before a lecture and get there on time!)
yeah u can pay it up untill a couple of weeks into term i think - they usually send the invoice thingy in the mail which tells you when u have to pay by (u go to the cashier to pay for it... any of the seniors will be able to tell u where that is)
and sare - yeah bring your doona cover...
not sure if it happens at colleges other than albies... and i've heard of people being turfed 3 times in a day (but that was just shit stirring it wasn't trying to teach anyone a lesson)
and its not always done when people are drunk - and i've never heard of anyone being held down and beat with...
hmmmm some colleges might do cocktail parties...
and yeah suit would be a good idea (although you will prob only use the jacket on a couple of occassions) - generally for smart casual the more country guys wear moleskins, shirt and tie and rm's... and all the others would just wear dress...
omg i have all the same as you!! and i smelt be delicious in marie claire and if it smells as good in the store then i have to get it! (so apple-y and summery!) i think we have the same tastes!!
rougly how much is Be Delicious?? (in myer or dj's?)
i dunno bout anyone else but i find Jim Courier and JA kinda annoying when they start saying stuff like that
and the whole "the australian open doesn't start until lleytons first 'c'mon'"
i think they talk a bit too much crap to fill in the time
i deferred in 2004 and i highly recommend it - not only did i get a full time job and earn enough to get youth allowance (which is helpful when you have to move out of home to go to uni), i learnt heaps in the year off, made lots of new friends and matured a fair bit too (which i needed to move...
no problems guys! any questions about UNE (and i can try to answer general college questions) just pm me or reply to this thread
Argo - lots of guys forget formal attire and look a bit silly in jeans and a t-shirt when everyone else is in pants/tie!
well its getting closer and i thought i'd write a list for all you new guys and girls of what sort of things you should bring - don't know if it will help but i know i would have liked it before i started!
* clothes - make sure you bring clothes for all kinds of weather and event.. from...
peeing in the hallways - never seen or heard of that happening (well maybe when the boys are very drunk and they forget where the toilet is, but thats VERY rare)
nude runs - yes they do that all the time, you get used to it after about 3 days
and yeah they do 'turf' boys rooms but they don't...
i have the jj's "i <3 beer" one which i wear to bed
and one that me and my mates got made which says "Save a Horse" (as in Save a Horse - Ride a Cowboy)
another idea is a pin board and pin necklaces etc. up there? rekon that would work???
i have a few friends that do the cocktail glass thing with earrings too
