No worries at all! I haven't been to college myself but my partner went to Fisher and I've had plenty of friends go through Jane and Christ.
People are generally really nice! Umm, social events are at least once a month from memory but it is totally up to you how much you participate in them! People are understanding, particularly if you are doing med
I seem to remember particular floors were a bit more rowdy so I'm sure you can get around that.
Yeah, I think if you are new to Tassie and wanted to meet people and do some social activities outside of med, college would be the way to go. And as I said above, you can participate as much or as little as you want.. I'm not sure if the new studios will have structured social events, but there are 450 rooms so I imagine they could quite easily have some planned social activities if they wanted to! Unsure how it will be set up at this stage.
There are a number of med events throughout the year also, so its really up to your own social preferences. I am only assuming that college will be a bit more social so forgive me if I'm mistaken! Oh $230 isn't bad for that style of accommodation. If you were looking for simple shared house options, gumtree is a great place to start! Accommodation in general is considerably cheap in Hobart, especially in shared houses, compared to other cities.
Hope that helps guys!
