Good luck.
It's our oldest university. It's also in a group we call "Sandstone universities" which is, I suppose, equal to what you call "Ivy league" (being that all the older 'grander' universities have imposing old buildings made of sandstone)
It has a lot of facilities.
Most people attending it live off-campus, but there are a few residential colleges - totally unlike what I see 'fraternities' depicted in US films. There are a lot of old terrace-house suburbs near-by, as well as the infamous one called 'the block' at Redfern.
City Road, and especially Parramatta Road have lots of buses going to Central Railway - which is the major station of Sydney.
So long as you are aware of what the climate is like in N. Queensland!Thank you! It sounds lovely. I have never seen any 'fraternities' at the college I currently attend (or the one I graduated from) either.
May I ask, do you know anything about the University of Canberra or James Cook by chance (those are the other two schools I am applying to)?

LOL, maybe not as much as I thought! Subtropical to tropical is what I read, which really doesn't tell you much! I was thinking it might be around 23-33 degrees and humid?
We currently live in a desert, so it's a stretch for me to picture.
when I went to townsville in winter one year the tempreture was around 28-30 degrees each day. In summer it would get up to 35 degrees but as you say the humidity was the real killer. It is very draining energy wise if your not used to it.LOL, maybe not as much as I thought! Subtropical to tropical is what I read, which really doesn't tell you much!

I'm not sure what you mean. You can have an international diver's licence and drive on the left like Australians do. If you mean can you have the privilege of driving on the right, no because we drive on the left.Ok two more questions:
1) Is it difficult to get driving privileges for those of us that drive on the (not left side) of the road?
A mix of feelings - I guess like what Americans think of indigenous Americans.2) How do most Aussies feel about the Aborigines?
3) What is it like over in Perth?
No. Pretty much every country in the world recognises everyone else's driving licence, and most people don't find swapping to the other side of the road difficult providing they are driving a car set-up that way. Bringing an american set-up car with you would be expensive and unhelpful. Like anyone else going to a different country, you need to familiarise yourself with the slightly different road-rules.Ok two more questions:
1) Is it difficult to get driving privileges for those of us that drive on the (not left side) of the road?
Sadly, there is a degree of racism in Australia.2) How do most Aussies feel about the Aborigines?
A long way from anywhere else.Ok three questions
3) What is it like over in Perth?
the most difficult thing will be remembering to drive on the left rather than the right.Ok two more questions:
1) Is it difficult to get driving privileges for those of us that drive on the (not left side) of the road?
hard to say really. there are people who hate them there are people who actively campaign for better treatment and rights and there are those who say they have no problem but make comments that show they are anti-aboriginal (just like with gays really)2) How do most Aussies feel about the Aborigines?
well western Australia almost didn't become part of Australia and that shows in attitude. how that might affect interactions with you i don't know. Thats about all I can say about it. Hopefully someone more knowledgable will come along.3) What is it like over in Perth?
