So, @frootloop was one of those who would have the heater on 24/7 and open the window when it got too hot in winter...

I think you're joking, but yes, I legitimately did this haha. If I'm paying the uni tens of thousands, they can pay for my heating hahaSo, @frootloop was one of those who would have the heater on 24/7 and open the window when it got too hot in winter...
Just read some of the news about the Toga Party/Parade, tbh I am shocked.
Is the egg throwing, pissing, and faeces thing true?? A bit intimidated about the event atm
If you don't mind, can you tell which college you went to?
Is this event compulsory?
So, it means the college heaters only work when the temperature is below certain degrees? Or are residents allowed to turn them on and off manually?
Thank you! Its a relieve!Not anymore, this happened years ago back when the toga parade down George St was a thing, the toga party is fine.
That sounds great!I went to St Margarets! No not at all. Theres a OUSA Toga party at the stadium but Margs had a Greek themed dinner that night and everyone dressed up and then those that were going to the OUSA toga party went as a group after dinner. About the heater......Margs was really well heated, didn't feel cold a single night in the college. Most ppl walked around in shorts and t-shirst most yr. Every room had heaters and could be turned on when required. Can I ask where you are staying?
An alarm, some power multi-plugs, something to decorate your room.Hey,
I am going to pack my stuff in a few days time, just wondering does anyone have any suggestions about the things that are useful/essential for college?

Thanks
Is it likely/possible to hear other people's alarm in the morning?
Lol. I'm staying at UniCol this year and they specifically don't allow additional heaters.I think you're joking, but yes, I legitimately did this haha. If I'm paying the uni tens of thousands, they can pay for my heating haha

Trust me, it's hard enough being an RA at that place without worrying about who has and hasn't got a fan heater tucked under their desk. So long as you don't make it obvious, nobody is going to come looking for it.Lol. I'm staying at UniCol this year and they specifically don't allow additional heaters.
Thank you for your advice!If you're flying down make sure to pre-pay for any overweight luggage online. It's cheaper than showing up to the check-in counter on the day and getting hit with a fee.
Are you staying in a residential college? I'm at UniCol this year!
Also, if anyone is arriving via the airport, a shuttle will be a lot cheaper than a taxi!
Hi all!
Now I'm aware that college applications for Otago have opened a couple days ago, but as I'm keen to do HSFY I was wondering if anyone can give me some insights into the different colleges? I know that the uni website has quite a bit of info, but it's nice to hear of someone's personal experience!
Personally, it would be nice to be around others who are also doing HSFY, I'm not a big partygoer and I'm a bit particular about the size of rooms and have anxiety about bathrooms
Sorry if I've asked anything silly but I honestly have zero clue what I'm doing so it would be nice to have a little direction!
Haha same (to the last bit of the second paragraph, I'm applying for Te Rangi Hiroa as well because it has ensuite bathrooms, so no sharing! )Hi all!

I'm also nervous about eating in front of any other people than my family. I so wish we could eat in our rooms but apparently not because "dining together is important socially" or something like that.
Anyway, where are you thinking of applying? I think I'll also apply to Carrington and Hayward but the whole Grey lady thing about it scares me :/
If you want Carrington, put them as your first choice because they're very adamant about that on the website and I don't think they will accept you if you put them anything other than first.oh my goodness ensuite bathrooms sound like a dream! I was thinking carrington because I hear they're quite a studious college, and a lot of people who do HSFY apply there apparently... but I still really have no clue! I'll have to do a bit more researching I think
