Thanks for the responses! Thought the forum was a lil' quiet but came in anyway.
Unfortunately I won't be able to take a tour physically since I am located in Singapore, but I did my undergrad days at UC and found that it was great there!
Self-catered halls are fine for me. Never did like catered food (ick!) and I kinda like the freedom to cook or eat out depending on available time!
But dang, that Pakistani musta been a well-off boy or some blue-blood back home eh? Quite funny, actually!
B&G sounds good though, probably list it down as one of the possible choices as well.
I think it's quite fun to be freshening up in a shared area though! Back then, it's amusing to see what the mates were like in the mornin', when they were either too sleepy (or hungover) and the "Good mornin's" turns out something like..."Grrraagghhh..."
What would the population at Toad be like (eg. good mixture, more aussies, more asians etc)?
I found that I very much prefer to stay where the aussies are because it never seems to get too boring with ya guys around, but asians tend to stick to their own cliques, which I find bloody annoying. Hell, I am an asian myself but I don't like that sorta stuff, kinda ruins the whole experience as an international student
