Re: GRIFFITH 08---whos goin?

I got into Law and Psych, first preference, was happy.

I'm moving up from near Syd, but I'm lucky I got an accommodation Scholarship from Griffith worth $17 000 over 4 years
Shall help pay the rent. Maybe we can team up and find a place because I have no idea what I'm doing about living arrangements......:S

I got accepted into University Village, Parkwood, just 500m from griffith. Its cheaper there- $170 per week and better value than griffith university village which i thought was expensive esp with the utility rates and other fees bunged on top of the residential fee.

I agree - It's a total rip off. Nexus Place presents much better value for money although I didn't take a very close look at the place that you are talking about ( I did come across it.)

I got an offer for B Oral Health in Dental Science!

Absolutely stoked about it! Had a pretty crappy UMAT score too..

I did the HSC is 04 and after several dismal UMAT results I almost gave up and started a BSc. Glad I didn't tho. I got a job as a carer, then a theatre orderly and I'm now an anaesthetic tech at RPA. That experience helped me in my interview immensely, which I'm guessing compensated for my not so great marks.

Got a brother who lives in Tugun and a granny who lives in brissy so accomodation is sorted. Finances are sorted thanks to youth allowance and 3 yrs of full time work. Leaving RPA next week to give me a month to move all my gear up before o week. I have to make 2 trips up there cos i have a hobie cat and an inflatable that need towing, but i am well looking forward to a road trip along the nsw coast.

See you there

Hey hey, so I'm sitting over here in Canada with the weather outside being -10 (-24 with windchill) and I can't help but stare at this nice little brochure my college has given me. Study in Australia. My college has set up some decent transfer credits with Griffith, which has got me thinking, what do I need to know if I'm deciding to head over on my own into a new continent (well old technically since I was originally born in Australia but I don't remember a thing).

Anywho, I don't really know what questions I should be asking, but is it easy to find a job? Could I bike from any of the University housing areas to school? Will someone teach me how to surf if I do head out there?

How easy is it to find accomadation, is living on campus a ripoff (seems to be the consensus from what I've read). *shrugs*
