Yeh, be thankful we didn't get the Carotel, which is like double the distance to ANU. I'm still not sure what "The ANU community on this site will number 148" means.

I wonder if its all those university rankings that are making ANU more popular? I know of people who went to ANU JUST because it is ranked #1 on some internet sites...
