? Never got round to organising a meetup. I'm pretty sure I've walked past her room a couple of times though. I think one of my close friends from Burgmann was Eriny's tutor on her floor last year.

lol, really? I may have actually seen you without knowing it! I was on 2B (actually, I'll remain on 2B this year too).

I've never actually been inside Bruce. I might look at it on Open Day, lol. I've been inside Johns and B&G because my old school did an Economics/Legal Studies excursion to Canberra and took a tour of ANU last year, which I tagged along for (I got a free lunch and coffee out of it!), and I have a friend at Ursies, so I've been there too. I also went into the lobby of Hotel Rex (out of curiosity).

They aren't as nice looking on the outside, but they look about the same on the inside (i.e. kind of ugly and outdated).

Yes.

Probably Johns? But all the colleges have lots of partying.

Yeah, I'm really good friends with Alice (who was a tutor on 2B along with Alex Davies, I think) and Ellen, who was also on 2B. And I know quite a few other people on that floor last year, I think.

All the colleges at ANU are much newer (Bruce is the oldest, built in 1960 or so) than those at Melbourne, but like Eriny said, most colleges look pretty similar on the inside.
All colleges have enough partying and drinking. Though I suppose Ursies is a bit tamer than the rest. But Johns, Bruce, Burgie, B&G all are quite social places.

Mine's gone from Bruce to my 3rd pref B&G too. Burgmann was my 2nd and Ursula my 4th so unless B&G offer me a place I guess I could end up anywhere. :(

I guess not. :(

Questions: With the Undergraduate Acceptence Form thing:
1) What did you put for Q2 student ID because I don't know mine and I don't think I have a UAC ID (just application no.)

2)Did you get the message saying your acceptence was lodged? Coz I didn't and I dunno if my slow internet might've screwed it up/I filled it out wrong. It just went back to first page about privacy thingy. :S

Wow, I didn't even know today was Friday :(

Anyway, my application status has changed from "application received" to "under consideration".

hmm, that's odd. even when it says 'application received', it says that a certain hall is considering your application. wonder how that's different to the status changing to 'under consideration'. bah, i cant believe we have to wait a few more days.
