So after wasting hours of my time reading through the 62 pages of info on the residential colleges on this forum, I still can't come to a decent conclusion about a couple of things.
1) Is Arana a good place to study? How rowdy would it be on a scale of 1-10 (1 being St. Margs, 10 being Unicol)? I put it down as first preference because of the distance to HSFY lectures.
2) Same questions about Cumberland. If it's not that great, what would be a better/closer to lectures option? Keeping in mind 3rd choice was Unicol.
I did read everything here, but most people have conflicting answers, so I'd really appreciate a final answer on this.
Hi, do anybody have any idea about what is the difference between "transfer" and "complete app", because when i checked my account this morning, it says "transfer". But I thought i have complete the application :huh: (the online part), or are there other things that I have to include in my application?
I believe transfer means the application is on the move; being sent to the halls from the accommodation office. So while you have completed the form it still has to reach the college. Mine is still saying incomplete, so hopefully the awaited references haven't been lost in the mail. Does anyone know when we find out what hall we're in?

Arana is Very loud (but every hall is), they got quite a few in this year but not as many as carrington.
- Its the ratio of Successful entrants into medicine / Aggregate of HSFY Students.
- Considering that there are more people who get into med at st margarets with how many students they
have attending (less than 1/3 would be health sci). I.e Arana/carrington/cumby have a lot more health sci
students than st margarets.
A hall should really be only for making mates and friends in first year.
You will get into medicine regardless of which hall you are at, based on how hard you are willing to work.
Here at Otago, the importance of UMAT is... lower. If you're willing to work hard, it is easily possible to get the kind of grades that make your performance in UMAT irrelevant.As for the second thin you said about how hard you are willing to work; to my understanding (which is very limited) that would apply only to academics and not UMAT since from my knowledge it's hard to prepare for. But then again that's my limited knowledge of it.
Thanks for writing the important stuff in bold, made a huge difference to the way I was reading it. I get the first thing you said about the halls being only for making mates in the first year, as you so gracefully put it. But then again the type of people in those halls would be important in the whole making mates/or as they are commonly known friends.
As for the second thing that you said about how hard you are willing to work; to my understanding (which is very limited) that would apply only to academics and not UMAT since from my knowledge it's hard to prepare for it. But then again that's my limited knowledge of it.
I do humbly apologize for getting slightly off topic, and dragging this out more than it needed to be dragged out.

Hello, may I know which are the halls which have more dental students? I understand some people say St Margaret's, are there any others? Thank you
In my years I was at st margarets - THe first year there were 5 In my second year there were 4. But are you asking how many people get in? or how many students that return to a hall do dentistry?
