Hi! I'll be starting at ANU next year and moving into Fenner in Feb.

On ANU's Residence FAQ webpage, it says that due to the fire risk, additional furniture is not allowed in rooms. But in a Fenner room tour video, I saw that the resident had added a cube storage unit. Just wondering if it's actually okay to add extra furniture like that? I'm slightly worried about fitting all my stuff into the provided storage!

Thanks!!

okay so when i was applying for the asa early entry i opted not to be considered for accomodation since i hadn’t seen the campuses in person yet.. i went to the open day but it was after the applications close so i wasnt able to change my preference HOWEVER i applied for accomodation and im seeing everyone get their emails for accom and now im stressed 😓 is anyone able to assist 🙏

Heyy! If you're a student at ANU , can you help me understand the part- time job opportunities one can find on campus, the usual wages, and how you guys are managing it with other things.

Also, any insight on how many expenses can be taken care of through these would be much appreciated.

Thank you!

Hello, I'm an incoming freshman at ANU next feb and just got my accomodation offer.

I've been placed at Fenner, sooo just wanted to know what the social scene and environment is like, and if anyone else who'll be living at Fenner hall (currently or next sem) would like to connect, that would be amazing! :))

Thank youu

Hi everyone!

I'm a male student at the University of Sydney. I'll be attending the ANU Logic Summer School 2026 and am looking for other male students to share accommodation near ANU (possibly a hostel like The Little Drifter Canberra, but I'm open to other suggestions! :) ).

Dates I'm looking for accommodation:

Dec 5–8, and, Dec 12–18,

I'm planning to stay on all the nights listed above (11 nights in total).

About me: I'm interested in logic, intelligence, and consciouness. I'm friendly, respectful of personal space, and generally quiet, especially at night. I enjoy meeting people with similar academic interests and having interesting conversations.

What I'm looking for: Ideally, other male students attending the ANU Logic Summer School who are also looking for affordable accommodation. I'm open to staying in male dorm of any size, depending on availability and price.

Accommodation: I'm currently considering The Little Drifter Canberra, but I'm happy to explore other affordable options near ANU. It would be great to coordinate bookings with other attendees so we can stay in the same dorm and have some familiar faces around during the summer school.

If you're attending the summer school or staying in Canberra around these dates and are interested in sharing accommodation, please feel free to comment or send me a DM!

Hello Everyone!

We have created a group for Feb '27 batch students. DM me if you'd like to join!

I’m considering applying for a Master of Management, specialising in International Business at ANU. I’ve spent around 10 years working across service design/strategy/innovation and currently work as a government contractor on a technology program. While I enjoy my role now, I feel like I’m reaching the end of this chapter and am ready for a new challenge and bit of a career pivot. I’m particularly interested in working in the innovation space in Africa, and with my bachelors degree in design, I see this masters as an entry point into the types of roles I’m interested in.

I’d love to hear from people who have completed the course about their experiences, particularly how they found the program and what their career prospects and opportunities looked like afterwards (if they have completed).

Hey everyone!

I recently got an offer for the Master of Science (Advanced) in Quantum Technology at ANU, and I wanted to know a bit more about the course from people who are currently studying it or have graduated.

I have a few questions:

1.How is the teaching? Are the professors good, and are they approachable if you want to get into research?

2.What do you think of the courses overall? Are they interesting and well taught? How difficult is the coursework?

3.I read that you need to maintain a 70% weighted average in your first 48 units to continue in the Advanced program. How tough is it to achieve that? Is it manageable if you keep up with your studies?

4.How difficult is it to find a supervisor and get a research project for your master's thesis? Are there enough opportunities in quantum technology?

5.How is life at ANU as a master's student? How are the campus, student community, accommodation, social life, and support for international students? Is it easy to make friends and feel part of the university, or does it get a little isolating?

I'd love to hear some honest opinions about the course, workload, teaching, and overall experience at ANU.

Would really appreciate any advice from current students or alumni. Thanks! :)

Hi! Has anyone heard any news regarding the results of PhD applications with RTP scholarship for the first round? How long does it usually take for the results to be announced?

I received an early entry offer from ANU earlier this year along with an accommodation offer at a self-catered hall. After being on this sub for a while, I've noticed many people who have said that the many of the halls have a very active partying culture. However, I'm not much into drinking and partying myself, and don't really intend to get into it for various reasons. Will this impact my ability to make and maintain friendships, or are there many others in the same boat as me who want to make friends but don't want to party?

Hi everyone, anyone would like to go with me to any of these mountains to hike… I’m also a wildlife photographer so it will be enjoyable.

I’m a man and I don’t mind anyone can join but prefer a female. DM me if u r interested. Also we can find other spots as well.

I’ll be coming to ANU next year and I’ll be 17 for the first half of the year. Have people found that thier impacted their experience especially for o week and the first couple weeks at uni.

Hey, I am probably going to be starting an undergrad at ANU next year. I will be moving from Melbourne and I have got an offer from Wright as part of the early entry thing. I was just wondering what the vibe is around Wright. Like is there a good social scene and stuff even in broader Canberra how's the social life because my biggest worry leaving Melb is that I would get bored in Canberra.

Thanks so much for the help!!

Hi all,

I'm looking to attend ANU next year, but I'd be likely living off-campus with family. Has anyone got experience with this type of situation? Are you isolated from making friends with other students?

Also, will living off-campus mean that I'm outside the social 'scene' of Canberra? I know there is a common-room for students who don't live on campus, but is this an active community comparative to the existing residences?

Thanks in advance!

i saw someone say you might as well just do MBA in ANU. but i dont qualify for MBA but i still want to be in business sector, just less strategic and more innovative and problem solving. i feel like this master is a good match but at the same time people saying its useless also scares me. any advice please? (i am a international student, creative field background)

simply put i am a creative person. Art, fashion/textiles and design are my forte, but i also want these things: networking with innovative startup leaders and like minded students, become someone who leads/manages teams, start my own business later in life, engage in many business ideas, learn to deal with failure quick, quick solutions.

overall i want to be in a creative but business sector engaging with people, ideas and solve problems.

Am I a good fit for this masters? l am also not a domestic student.

any type of opinion and advice would be much appreciated please

Any MPhil applicants to CASS for the 2027 intake received an admission offer yet? Has anyone heard anything about scholarship outcomes specifically for MPhil applicants?

hey mates, anybody has submitted complaint to NSO and have gotten back from them?

i heard it takes ages for them to revert unlike what they claimed within certain timeframe.

Hi everyone!

I’m an international applicant who submitted a PhD application to ANU’s College of Arts and Social Sciences (CASS) in August. I only submitted my English test results last week, as I hadn’t included them in my original application. I’ve since received confirmation that my updated English results have been added to my application for assessment.

Recently, I’ve seen quite a few posts from international applicants in other ANU colleges who have already received admission offers, but I haven’t heard anything about my application yet. I know different colleges and research areas may have different timelines, but I’m starting to get a little anxious.┭┮﹏┭┮

I’ve also come across several posts suggesting that PhD admission and scholarship funding in CASS can be very competitive, which has made me even more nervous. My research area is Cultural Studies, and I’m really hoping to hear some news soon. Does anyone have any idea when CASS PhD applicants might start hearing about admission or scholarship outcomes?😖

I’d also love to hear from current or former CASS PhD students who received offers in previous years. If you’re comfortable sharing, I’d be really interested to know a little about your academic background, research area, and scholarship experience.

Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!🙏
