have you applied to B+G yet? hope demand for Burgmann isn't too high cos I haven't gotten round to applying yet. yea I saw the B+G website and it looks nice, but too bad I can't really cook!Originally posted by CoYLiE
either arts/law or asian studies (specialist)/law
hopefully i'll get into B+G Hall. It looks pretty good there, even if you do have to cook for yourself.
yeh the ANU is recognised as the best research uni in Australia and Asia (according to rankings in 2000). So this would really help you if you wanted to do honours (which I hope to do). There are also MANY people there paid purely to do research, so you'll have access to the best experts. I'm impressed with how much the ANU has achieved in such a short time. It'll be interesting to see where it'll be in a few years time. I think that I might choose the ANU over U syd and UNSW. They don't seem to be any better than the ANU. For me, the ANU has more to offer.Originally posted by CoYLiE
yeh.. i went down to the open day just after the trials... and the law faculty is really strong in international relations (due to the close proximity to all the foreign embassies and whatnot) and public law (because canberra's the center for australian politics).
But one thing that really impressed me was that they hav somewhat of an emphasis on research (because it used to be only a post-grad uni). So this allows you to do things like internships at parliament house, high court or lobby groups and that goes towards credit points for the course.
I haven't applied for accommodation yet... i still have to get people to fill out the reference part. But we've got until january or something, so there's no real rush.
hmmm. I don't think that that will be the case, but I've written to them just to make sure.Originally posted by googy_1985
ANU use to be 100% research uni, but if the govt get there away (according to Canberra newspaper), ANU will lose the undergraduate and give it to the University of Canberra so ANU can concentrate on Post grad.

hey googy, which college/hall u planning to stay at?Originally posted by googy_1985
Went to the open days in Canberra
I am deciding to go to the University of Canberra
Commerce/Applied Economics
I really liked the course they offer
Hmm... the only thing i noticed from that was the overuse of the word 'should'. It reads like Mr Patience is just bitter and twisted because he was stuck at UC doing a bachelor of arts. I wouldn't worry about it... I would say with all due respect to Mr Patience, writing about personal gripes only pisses off the community even more when that turns out wrong and unattainable.Originally posted by googy_1985
Australian universities in an unholy mess
Allan Patience 'The Canberra Times'

"This means biting the bullet. More restructurings are needed - though this time they have to be carried out according to a considered plan. For example, in Canberra, the ANU should return to being a purely research university. ANU's faculties (including the new medical school) should be hived off to the University of Canberra."
yeh! i hope to go on exchange (if i can manage a D avg)..Originally posted by CoYLiE
not to mention the fact that it's the only university in australia with links to both oxford and cambridge which is pretty damn impressive. So in your third year (if you're doing a 5 year degree) you could possibly go to either one and then you could always say "and i went to oxford" and that would impress the hell out of anyone!! haha
