The University of Queensland

The University of Queensland's Coat of Arms

So finally after a kinda long period of applications,thinking and waiting I've finally decided where I'm gonna study. Recently went to the Taylor's Placement Center Agreement and Response to Offer form to UQ and got my electronic Confirmation of Enrollment (eCOE) and Acceptance Letter recently.

I'm gonna be starting my first year as a UQ student in the Bachelor of Business Management in February 2011 in UQ, St. Lucia which is the main campus of UQ =D
Now the hard part is finding some good accommodation to stay in during my first year. hum should I find one near/on-campus or off-campus near the Central Business District where all the shops are （＞＿＜） Why does all the on campus residential colleges have to be catered, I want self-catered T_T

Here are some fun facts about the University of Queensland.
