How do i get to ANU from Sydney? (1 Viewer)

[Kmahal1990]

Hi, i wanted to get a taste of what life would be like as a student at ANU to see if i should change my preferences for late round. How would i get to ANU from Sydney? Would i be able to go into any of the catered halls to see the rooms? I applied for Ursula as a first preference, if i recieved another offer at another university in the main round does that mean i am no longer guranteed accomodation? And finally are there any other places in Canberra that i would expect to become familiar with as a student there which i should check out like where plazas and so forth. Thanks in advance for any advice.

1) Catch a Greyhound or Murrays bus from Central station to Canberra. The bus stop in Canberra is at the Jolimont Center, which is literally a 5 minute walk from campus.

2) You'd be able to see the rooms, just ask one of the office staff at the college. Just make sure you get in at around 3:30 or earlier.

3) The university is in the middle of the City, so everything is fairly close. If you're at a college you'll be shown around all the places that you need to be familiar with in O-week. Generally the only place you'll need to go outside of the City is Fyshwick for clothes, books, fireworks and porn.

As to the last question, no idea. Get the number for University Accommodation Services and give them a call.
