Only for first years.I remember ANU guaranteeing accommodation if you get an offer and apply by Jan 20. I guess they going back on their word now?
strange.. something's obviously gone amiss in the system if they're contacting people who didn't even get an offerI got this email from them even though I did not receive an offer from ANU (third pref).
I got the same one, then an apology one saying my application had been unsuccessful!I got this email from them even though I did not receive an offer from ANU (third pref).
Lol $380 to live at UniLodge? Even living in an apartment 20 minutes away from the Melbourne CBD with a pool, tennis courts and gym costs about the same! Talk about a TOTAL RIP OFF.On the up side, because I rejected my accom offer, there should now be a studio available at Uni Lodge for $380 a week... if anyone wants it? Lol
It’s ridiculous.
Good luck to the rest of you waiting.
Even if it’s designed for a couple, it’s still a tiny box at a rip off price and it wasn't on my list of preferences.That's for a double studio, aimed more at couples.
I did. actually i think those of us who have guaranteed accom all did.Who else recieved this?
Dear Applicant
I write to update you on accommodation for students coming to ANU to study in 2010.
In 2010, ANU has experienced an unprecedented demand for accommodation. Although the University has increased the number of beds available by 1100 since 2007, this is still not enough.
To meet this current demand the University has sourced additional accommodation off-campus. These external sites will be operated along the same lines as our residences, maintaining a similar standard of amenity, community, regard for security and cost. There will be an ANU Residential Adviser to provide pastoral support and the University will establish a campus program to ensure these residents are welcome, supported and inducted as all residential students are. All students in off-campus accommodation will be affiliated with an existing ANU student residential facility and participate in the programs of that facility. In this way we hope to ensure that all students are well-integrated into the University community.
For those students who accept a place in one of the external sites on offer, priority placement will be offered in student residences for Semester 2 where capacity arises. Certainly for 2011, these students will be allocated places in October for the coming year.
Currently under construction are 119 units as an extension to the new Laurus Wing, Ursula Hall (opening mid year) and 422 beds as Stage 3 of residential accommodation in the ANU Exchange (opening Feb 2011). So it is unfortunate we have this temporary shortage.
While we regret not being able to accommodate all students on campus from the beginning of first semester, we anticipate that this situation is temporary and that most , if not all, students will be able to be accommodated on or near campus in semester two.
As a guaranteed undergraduate student, further information about your application status will be sent to you by Friday 5th of February.
Yours sincerely
Very desperate. Terrible situation ANU has gotten itself into.Sounds desperate...
