wouldnt worry bout washbasins, i spoke to accomodation office and there is no chance of moving, but iv decided i dont care now...it'll just make it more interestin! Are the flats single sex?

A Ject is a hissyfit, a tantrum or a wobbler. It can become so extreme in some instances that a 'Full-on Begbie' ensues. Glassed

I suppose its just the fact I'd probably be living in a predominantly male environment. Little variation I think worries me.

Ohhh cool. Great stuff, hope to run into you at some stage.
I'm moving in on the 18th I think, would have preferred the Saturday as that seems like the day the majority people are gonna move in, but I couldn't get a flight for then.
Just wondering too, is Thorncliffe just one building or is it a number of buildings, if you get what I mean?

Its not a university package -a private enterprise.
