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.
keep having nightmares that it'll b like my bmt bunk or smth
or at best, the ocs bunk
also, i'm abit worried about racists... i mean when i went there for attachment, during the R&R, there WERE quite abit of australians doing drive-by remarks like "get the **** outta here chink" and stuffs liddat...worrying...
maybe i'm just paranoid....

No friends going with you are ? Don't worry about Sydney lah. Down there very cosmo one. Alot of Asians there, sometimes maybe you'll think that theres too many.
Uni Campus is ok one lah. I neva been to the one in UNSW but generally its about a few rooms in 1 village apartment then you'll get a room and toilet. Everything else share lor. Very easy to make friends one. If you got money then stay in the city lor... -
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...

I agree that sydney is very cosmo. If you go down to the city, there are so many asians. In UNSW, it is super populated with asians... -
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...

Does going through OCS make ppl invincible? Fake kungfu stance? Bruudder switch off the TV pls.
Advice to TS is to use common sense and judgment if you encounter racist situations. It does happen, rare in Sydney but it does.
Other than that, enjoy the UNSW campus ... fantastic uni, suburbs surrounding the campus Kensington, Randwick, and Kingsford have amazing makan places. -
wow... thanks for the erm... advice...hehe...well, normally if i get those stupid remarks i generally tell them i'm not from china...
i dont know kung fu... but got black belt in tae kwan do... counted?
