I wanted to apply for that too, but I missed the deadline! I was so devastated ): I actually considered going to Melbourne University instead of ANU for a while because of this because there were more scholarships there, but I guess ANU just...roped me in. ;P It does look expensive, but I am fully willing to survive on peanuts and sunshine just to live on campus. Join meeeee. :D

There's other scholarships too! :3
Do they offer a BAdvComputing/BA double degree? edit: Oh wait I forgot they're introducing the flexible double degrees thing next year. Anyway, if you're interested in the computing degrees the ANU computer science faculty pretty much has all their stuff publically accessible (lecture notes, lecture recordings for some classes too, assignments etc.) which is pretty neat. http://cs.anu.edu.au/courses/

This forum seems to be the only place with active ANU students! Do you have any tips on making friends for an introvert? :P
Yeah, the flexible double degrees are being introduced next year. I was SO happy to hear this, because I thought I'd have to go to USyd after all to do linguistics/comp sci! :D I'm a bit sad though the PhB (Arts)/CompSci isn't an option. Oh well, can't have everything :)

I'm considering ANU for my undergrad- either BLaw/BArts or BLaw/BPsych! I'm from melbourne, but I have family in Canberra so I'm hoping it shouldn't be too expensive... Eek. ::)
Lolly:
Are any of your parents like mine and go on about the cost of living and how you'd never be able to earn enough to eat and pay rent and how there are plenty of good universities here in Melbourne and why would you want to go somewhere so far away from your family and how would you cope on your own...? :P

Super excited to hear that another person is considering ANU! Join me there next year! :D You're lucky that you have family in Canberra. Will you be living with them, or on campus?

My mother is like that! She's worried about me leaving home, because I'm prone to cooking disasters, getting lost in foreign places, not waking up in the morning, and other little disasters that will make living alone hard for me ): Fortunately, we agree that leaving home is an invaluable experience that can't be bought by any measurable amounts of money. ;P
Why do you want to go to ANU?
siddhartharora:
G'day! Yep, I'm considering ANU for Commerce. Two reasons (first is stronger than second)
1. Prerequisites. Here in Vic, if you want to do Commerce, need Methods, haven't done it, not wanting to do a bridging course or transfers between degrees. ANU has a reasonable ATAR requirement, with 'assumed knowledge'.
2. The AFL State sucks! I'm an ex-NSWelsher (moved to Vic in 2011), so would absolutely love to either go Canberra, or possibly Sydney (another preference, Commerce at Macquarie).
What's the atmosphere like at the ANU Campus?
