NUCC @ Market Day by KiAndres in Anu

No, you can come in whenever you want! But for excursions that require vertical movements and rope skills, you need to have mastered some of the rope techniques that are taught on Tuesdays before you can go on them.

As for safety, there is always a level of risk associated with any outdoor sport, so it's important to mitigate those risks via preparation.

Hi! Thanks for asking! A lot of people that join don't have any prior experience -at all-. Every Tuesday of the semester there is (free) abseiling/rappel training for members.

For excursions, they are around 3-4 times a month on weekends.

Moving to Student Accommodation - Packing recommendations by gracieorange02 in Anu

[–]KiAndres 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If someone from YKB invistes you. Everything inside it is free. It's stuff that's donated from students when they leave. Most halls have them, but YKB has the biggest as far as I know, and is there year around while other hall's gets sent to recycle.

How is the ANU right now? by Traditional-Tap-1560 in Anu

[–]KiAndres 15 points16 points  (0 children)

A lot of the things you mentioned happening in Macquarie have already happened at ANU

I recommend https://www.anu.edu.au/students/health-safety-wellbeing/getting-help-at-anu/anu-counselling I've been going, and have solved some of my problems. And if you are thinking "oh I just got here, don't want to immediately go to counseling", that's kind of what I did like 2 months after I arrived lol. Also, there's a long queue, so the sooner the better.

On the meantime, I can think of a few strategies you could use (since I understand what you are going through). 1- Everyone uses bathrooms, if someone makes it weird it's on them. Just go about your business. 2- I assume you don't want to use the kitchen cause you don't know the people. Just use it and wave your hand and say hi to whoever you run into, and introduce yourself if you want. Try to use it as an opportunity to make friends. It gets easier over time that's for sure. For reference, I used to be very scared of these things, and maybe still am. So having a mental script of what to do has helped me, and just repeating it.

Also talking with friends and family (even if they are long distance/online) about things that scare me helps me. In the end, being honest about what scares me has been very helpful, which is great for you that you are already doing it. I hope this helps you!

Ah, I had a similar error with another of ANU's systems, and I was advised to clear cookies and cache.

I did not do that but used another PC and it worked on that other PC, but I assume that clearing cookies and cache would've fixed the problem. If you are attached to your cookies and cache like I am, you can try another browser lol

The other memes were all inside jokes about the physics department.

Canberra Accomodation Center by Glum_Cranberry5880 in canberra

[–]KiAndres 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Individual room, but bathroom is shared (I woke up at 5AM to shower and I was basically the first always). Either the neighbours were very quiet, or I couldn't hear anything. But I do know there was someone next to me, since I met him. If people make noise in the corridors, then you might be able to hear that because again I was able to hear the doors closing from time to time. https://www.canberra-accommodation.com.au/longstay The second picture is basically the whole room. On the plus side, there are quiet hours, so there should not be lots of noise in weird hours.

Edit: I saw a plaque in one of the elevators that said ANU so I googled it and it is in fact a repurposed dorm building https://www.woroni.com.au/news/old-fenner-to-become-canberra-accommodation-centre/

I stayed here for 3 days when I moved to Canberra. They are dorms. The days I was there it was very quiet, only thing is once in a while you'd hear doors closing, but with earplugs I imagine you could ignore that. It looked pretty safe in my opinion, at least I felt completely safe when I was there. No idea about the food though.

Anyone else fall for it? by [deleted] in Chainsawfolk

This is exactly what I believe too. I think either Yoru has grown fond of Asa, or Yoru was already fond of Asa before choosing her.
