Sancta usually contains all the dregs/rejects from all the other colleges cos no-one wants to originally go there but they seem to have an awesome time when they get there. Any college is better than no college. Rumours from the admin office in October were that we already had 30 freshers for 07 and that was before anything "really" happened. Our fresher year this year will probably be fairly small too cos most of the 60odd freshers from 06 are staying on as sophs.. WOO go sancta.

I'm having major college/social withdrawals at the moment and all this talk of o-week in a few weeks is making me depressed. WHY, WHY do usyd start so friging late.

hey hey congrats,
I didnt share a room, but i lived on Fresher corridor which is where all the shared rooms are. Its top floor of the middle main part of the building so thats where you will be living, stairs suck lol but awersome views if you are on the city side. I think allocations are done randomly unless you are moving with someone you already know like two best friends last year, or like a twin. If there is a major problem with the person you live with i think its possible to try and get changed but im pretty sure they try to match you up with someone they think youll like eg. same age etc.
Fresher corridor needs to lift its rep, but i had the best neighbours ever so if ur up there youll def meet them because theyll staying, they share a room hahah im sure youll figure out the crazy boys im talking about. My friend was speaking to the RA whos got that floor next year and he said he wants to make it the party place lol, but i doubt itll happen its generally pretty good sound wise and lots of the seppos (americans) who study here for a semester live on fresh and they are lots of fun.

Hey random question, you obviously have your offer now. Did you get some nazi thing you had to sign about the use of alcohol? Or maybe it was just us, because we were really naughty last year lol? We got in trouble alot for drinking in tea stations and corridors a few ppl got suspended etc. But I doubt it will stop the fresh

I dont know what a good UAI is most ppl i know are over 90+
but that being said everyone is picked on different things eg. where you are from, what you can offer. But generally i think 90+
