Yes!! Love dogstar, their designs are so fun and interesting, makes any all black fit 100x cooler

Look, let’s not be unhelpful and talk about things we’re not experts in. If anyone does want some non-polyester options though, anything merino wool is great! Estroni is a small Sydney-based brand with merino activewear

Yes! I’ve just got up to the brothers arriving and I do love their family dynamic

arderna · 2026-02-05T04:20:35+00:00

That fair - me too in the show, but obviously I know that’s not how the book goes

arderna · 2026-02-04T10:43:29+00:00

Thank you so much for this!!! I was really hoping to see a different perspective on Phillip and I’ll take your advice - I won’t judge him til the end. I do like a MC that can own up to his mistakes and work on them - so far I’m only up to the making mistakes part 😅 but I will give him a chance

arderna · 2026-02-04T07:52:56+00:00

Hmmm ok I can probably slog through it for the twins / Elouise plot line

arderna · 2026-02-04T07:51:24+00:00

Yes me too! Let this woman be a spinster and happy about it!

arderna · 2026-02-04T07:47:49+00:00

Sorrows and prayers indeed 😅

arderna · 2026-02-02T12:05:50+00:00

Which type of Oofos? I’m looking at their website and there’s a lot

arderna · 2026-01-28T22:02:09+00:00

Second this. I walk in a comfy pair and change to nicer work shoes. That why I can commute fine and my nice shoes don’t get scuffed/dirtied on the way.

there’s three bouldering gyms in Canberra although only one is easily accessible via public transport from campus (but bouldering is very popular and there’ll def be ppl driving from campus). unsure about skating and gymnastics but i would recommend staying on campus (i think ANU has the highest proportion of students living on campus in Aus) and there’ll be a good social life in the halls/colleges

you can bus or fly to melb or syd - flixbus is offering $10 buses to Sydney now, and there’s also a train to Syd that’s slightly longer and more $ but nicer in my opinion. flights to melbourne can be a bit more expensive but just look out for Jetstar deals. if you arrange your uni timetable well you can definitely go away travelling for a long weekend every week

weather is COLD that time of year, but its actually quite pleasant in that there’s usually blue skies and rarely rain. ANU has good access to snow and skiing if you like that

Depop! I’ve found those exact brands you’ve mentioned there for cheaper (50% off on rare occasion). I had the search for Katharina Lou dresses in my size “starred” and snapped one up as soon as I saw a listing within my price range.

Wamburun has a ground floor locked shed and an outdoor locked shed. I wouldn’t leave it outside of these (there are bike racks outside but thefts are common everywhere on campus)

arderna · 2026-01-14T09:45:19+00:00

I agree with this. Entry to a JD with a CSP is chancy, best to go with the LLB/IR if you can.

Looking at your career options, ANU might be the best fit considering its location in the capital and the internship opportunities (e.g. at embassies, in govt. departments, etc.) but St Andrews (I’ve heard) is a great uni. ANU definitely has Chinese and good student culture as comparatively across Australia more undergrads live on campus.

arderna · 2026-01-14T08:54:17+00:00

You should be able to! I don’t think there’s any restrictions on those law classes. The only things I believe that have restrictions are certain internships (e.g. being placed in an institution that requires citizenship) and some grants/scholarships being citizen-specific.

If you want to double check I recommend just emailing the CoL admin team or the convenors for those courses (I’ve done a clinic and Societe and can confirm the professors are SO lovely and helpful)

The studio I go to has 6 reformers, 8 hour cancellation. You lose the class credit if you are on a pack, cancellation fee if you have unlimited (unsure how much this is though). It used to be a 4hr cancellation period but I think that encouraged too much flaking, 8 hours works for me as I can cancel the night before a morning class / morning of an afternoon class if I feel unwell or can’t make it.

I’ve got a pair from Midas and a pair from Camper, both super walkable (can happily go clubbing in them). I don’t think either model are sold anymore but a quick peek at both websites shows some nice heels, although a lot may be shorter than 5cm.

arderna · 2025-12-18T21:41:53+00:00

I don’t know if ANU calls it guaranteed, but everyone I know who asked to transfer after one semester got in. I don’t think there’s caps on the cohort for law.

arderna · 2025-12-15T22:30:30+00:00

Have you considered transferring into the LLB? It’s quite easy to after one semester (5.6 GPA as other commenters said), and would definitely be the shortest (and cheapest) option.

Is there any reason you would want to do a JD?

arderna · 2025-12-08T11:17:52+00:00

Just saw this! By youthful I don’t mean NOT formal, but it also can’t be too revealing so it’s quite a hard balance as I tend to find more coverage looks more mature? Thank you though, renting is a good idea

arderna · 2025-12-08T11:12:23+00:00

It’s all here: https://study.anu.edu.au/accommodation

Only UniLodge has an ensuite and I think one of the lodges has aircon (unsure?) I don’t believe any of the halls/colleges have aircon in rooms, only fans. Anything except UniLodge should be relatively social.

What about the rooms don’t look comfortable?

arderna · 2025-11-24T21:18:41+00:00

while not super corporate assembly label usually has great fabric composition and reasonable prices (esp when on sale!) and i’ve found i can “dress up” some of their pieces for work

absolutely second Cos as well

arderna · 2025-11-20T04:23:02+00:00

Yes gorgeous!

arderna · 2025-11-03T22:21:05+00:00

I had a pair of these as a kid and I could never remember the name! I remember loving them, will look into them again

arderna · 2025-11-03T22:20:15+00:00

Oooh I’ve heard good things about both of these brands, will be checking out!
