There are generally 2 types of accommodation that the uni can offer. (1) College (aka hostels) which does cleaning of your room and offer meals, but they are really expensive (2) self-catered apartments. These are apartments that the uni manages. They come in 3 to 5 rm per apartment depending which one u choose baker or mulwarre apartments. Check the accommodation website for more details www.housing.unsw.edu.au.Originally posted by penpen51:hm...
anyone study in unsw b4? going there for my undergrad studies in sem 1 but a bit troubled over accomodations...
i've no idea if they've got on campus hostels or things like that and the 'information' they put up on the site is like...so not informative.

Since you've gone thru' OCS, you don't really have to worry about all those rascist remarks. Basically, they are of a minority. If push really comes to shove, so to say, just grab hold of the mother-fcuker and let him taste some asian knuckles. These fcukers are basically cowards. They always have a warped idea of all asians, especially Chinese. They think we know some kungfu and just show them some faked kungfu stance in such situations and they'll run off.Originally posted by penpen51:hm...

Just remember, be confident and enjoy your stay in Oz.
