go to duval... best college ever... trust me (if interested PM me for details)
your teachers assess you and ultimately the principal gives the ok for the reccomendation

duval the best eh - bit of biased opinion dont you think 
you can still apply for placement in college (some people dont apply till mainround offers come out to see if they are accepted) and you have a good chance at getting in one of the colleges (maybe not Albies or Earle Page - They fill up pretty quickly).
Even if you dont get oncampus accomodation there is always smith house or plenty of share accomodation around Armidale. but usually semester 2 more places open up in the colleges

with the on campus accom, what does that include? you get a room ... and?
is it cheaper to live in a share house or rental around armidale?

the oncampus includes: room, all meals, clean linen weekly, access to tutors and college academic advisors, heating, access to computers and internet access (300 mb free from uni if using uni computers) , rec facilities (pool tables, tvs etc). plus then there is the social life that come with living with 200 + other people
generally cheaper to live in a share houses than rental, only because you split all bills, but if you ilve off campus you have to consider rent, groceries, utilities, transport to and from uni and furniture if it isnt furnished.

im home at sydney at the moment - you generally stay in college from mid-late february (depending on dates of o week) till exams end in november (early to mid if you are lucky) and you can go home for holidays or pay extra to stay over holidays periods.
take computer, cd players, tvs, alot of people take bar fridges etc.
you can drink in your rooms, generally you can drink most places - i know we generally sit around it the common rooms or courtyards and drink (as long as you are responsible and dont majorly annoy anyone else so they complain)

You do know where Armidale is right? Like you are aware that if you don't have a car or parents to take all your gear you'll be lugging it around on the train or even worse, the bus!noel_gallagher said:
Robb is good if you like country folk, it always has been a country college.

LrO, yeah I know where armidale is ... I think lol - north and in west a little bit? Never been there, but I know it's a hike from Newie. Yeah, my parentals would drive me up with all my shit, we've got a big arse car. should be sweet. Plus I can buy stuff there that I want or need.
Oh!!! I thought Robb college looked really arty and musical! I think I'll put down for Duval. I'm not what you'd call a cowboy... ... ...
I'm musical, arty and love partying and talking with people. Is duval right for me do you think?

For any of your duval questions contact mojoman.noel_gallagher said:
Drummond and Smith is definatly an all round college - they do well in both the sorts and cultural comps. pretty good party atmosphere.
Robb is very country, most of the guys are into rugby (you cant miss their carpark with the countless utes) compete well in sports, not as good in cultural. Supposedly have a really good chef that works there.

Yeah I really like the look of those three.
I'm pretty outgoing, but it's gonna be so hard to leave all my friends here. Is it easy to meet up with new people and make friends? I suppose it would have to be cos you're all in the same boat?

EP and Austin share their kitchens, chances are what one has for lunch the other has for dinner. Expect steak one day to turn into crumbed steak and stroganoff the next.
