[strawberry]

r there some major shopping centers around the city or is westfield in Belconne (is dat how u spell it??) da nearest place??

thanx

 

[googy_1985]

Yes, Canberra Centre - City

Belconnen is the only Westfield in Canberra; about 5 minutes from UC..

 

[googy_1985]

Also, there are other malls in other centres e.g. Woden

 

[strawberry]

meaning that I can go get veggies and take away food in sushi or macca or pizza at canberra center if i don't feel like cooking??

 

[smegger_em]

The canberra centre is pretty big - 3 stories and then another one storey section where these a supermaket and deli and a VEGETABLE SHOP (did you think we are all carnivores??? of course there's a vege shop!!!)
There's 3 sushi shops, 2 mcdonalds, several pizza places and a huge variety of resturants. The supermarket (superbarn) is a bit evil and marks the prices up a bit, but its not to bad. if you are staying at an ANU collage its about a 20-25 minute walk or a 10 minute car/bus ride.
Just remember... national capital, 300000 of us live there, you dont need to worry about not being able to by carrots.

i need to get my P's first before i can drive lol

i've applied for on-campus accommodation @ ANU. so im hoping i'll get in there.. you?

 

[strawberry]

i applied 4 accom at ANU too, bu I think I'm a bit too late...when did u apply??

I applied for fenner and b&g....i hope they're not popular...

have you thought about what if u dont get it??

 

[blah says she]

i applied in late september i think..

if i dont get in i'll have to find some place that wants housemates i guess!

 

[MiuMiu]

Does anyone know of anyone who applied to John? I only did it like a week and a half ago....

 

[blah says she]

That was my second choice, but I do know at least one person who has applied for there.

 

[Bolkonski]

is there good coffee?

 

[blah says she]

I read somewhere that during O-week they had pub crawls but also a coffee crawl where they went around to cafes in Canberra trying all the coffee.

 

[MiuMiu]

Ah ok John was my first, and then Fenner. Kinda opposites, but I was trying to maximise my chances of getting in. Though I think Burgmann and B & G are the most popular....

 

[Bolkonski]

oh really? i think i might join the coffee crawl blah says she.
