Title: Different University Colleges
Post by: Special At Specialist on November 22, 2012, 11:43:46 pm
I'm considering applying to live on campus in a college at the university of Melbourne (Parkville) and I was wondering if anyone could give me a brief overview of them, preferably one from personal experience.

This is what I'm after:
- Cheap accommodation (it doesn't need to be a 5 star hotel or anything fancy like that)
- Friendly people (I need to replace my high school friends)
- Lots of parties and social events (not just boring nerds)
- Internet access (if I'm going to live there, I want to be able to contact people)

Which college is the best one for me to stay at?

- A decent amount of European/white people (I'm not being racist, I just think that I'd go insane if everyone around me was Asian, since it's not something I'm used to)

What makes you insane about Asian?
If you wanna study at a college full of white people, you can go to European countries to study instead
Enough said!

Fine, I'll edit the post to take that out. You're all missing the point.

I'm not trying to be racist, you've all just misinterpreted me. But let's just forget about that completely.

Has anyone got anything actually relevant to say to this?

Thankyou.

Special, honestly, maybe you were not intending this to be a literal comment (and I can understand where you are coming from) but it hints of racism completely. I think you need to be a little bit more easy with the words. "boring nerds"? Wow you are full of stereotypes. I don't even think you need an answer to your question if you are just going to compartmentalise others like a year 7 student.

On the other hand. Every university has aspects of what you want. Off the top of my head, I can think of Melbourne and RMIT.
