I’m excited… and not to mention, I finally found a place to live! YEAH!
I cannot tell you the weight that has been lifted off my shoulders. I’ve done nothing but stress about housing for the last week, so I can finally take a breather and relax.
It’s a share house, so I am going to essentially share a big house with other people… It is owned by a female artist with 2 other students currently living there. At this point, I don’t really know too much about them, but I assume whatever their personalities, we shall make it work (haha). The room is furnished, so it has all the necessary requirements for a college student (bed, pillows, lamp, and computer desk). The rent is only $160/week, which includes gas & electricity, so I am VERY happy about that. And most importantly, internet is only $10/week!!!
The only thing I need to budget for now is toiletries, food, water, laundry, transportation (bus), school supplies & books, and personal expenses. I think I shall be fine – my parents said they will help me out some…
The only drawback to everything is it is located in the neighborhood of WEMBLEY, so it’s about a 15-20 minute bus ride away from the university, but I’m not too worried because I just bought my bus pass today. It’s also closer to the actually city centre, so at least I’ll get to be closer to the heart of Perth.
I’m just EXCITED. I think I move in tomorrow so more details to come.
Here are just some random pictures of UWA that I took today... It's a beautiful campus... VERY HUGE and GREEN. It kind of reminds me of walking through a zoo because all you can hear and see are these colorful exotic birds squawking and singing. The coolest thing about the university or "UNI" is that it is located right on the Swan River, so there are lots of people always out there trying to windsurf.
And as for academics, it's part of the Group of Eight (the wealthiest and most prestigious universities in Australia), equivalent to the United States' Ivy League Colleges. YEAH!

This tree is absolutely gigantic!
