I think I’ve mentioned this before. I live on the 1st floor of a 3 story unit block. It’s small, and lacks any sound proofing so when the neighbours upstairs decide to party til 3am or play soccer it makes life help.
Yes I know this bitchy and whinging but I don’t care.
It’s major essay time at uni and with all the other crap that’s going on I’m finding it hard to concentrate as it is WITHOUT listening to a bunch of idiots playing the same song over and over again from 8pm til 3am.
I dunno maybe at the old age of 23 I can’t be bothered with bullshit.
It’s only one unit that makes all the noise and the landlord won’t do anything about it and I feel like a dick calling the cops.
What are ya supposed to do?
I’m guessing wearing ear plugs to bed is the only solution.

I don't want live with a guy I don't know!
So I live in a apartment which is owned by the student union. When they asked me if I had any preferences for who I wish to share with I said females only.
I have my reasons.
I don't want to share them.
Today I get a phone call asking if I was comfortable living with a guy and I said no.
They said if he wants to live there that they can't stop him from signing the lease.
WTF?!?
how is that fair?
I know that there's heaps of empty rooms with the union atm because their prices are too high and majority of students have preplanned to get a private rental with friends.
So what can I do now?
I guess I have to wait til sunday when I get home to find out if I have to share with a guy ._.

and I'm back and pissed off
Ok I’m back
And I’m pissed off
VSU is causing it
For those who don’t know VSU is Voluntary Student Unionism and it sucks balls for everyone
Ok so it was pretty expensive for a uni student, but now it’s killing campus culture
I study at UTAS, our union is the TUU and when I first started in 2006, it was alright, the campus I went to held pretty much no social events though. Now in 2009, the place is dead 24/7. It’s like a ghost town. We all most lost the universities student produced quarterly magazine Togatus but we got it back thankfully
Now at the campus I study at still has a few events but it’s also dying off. But with it, it seems that the TUU and UTAS now wants to try every penny pinching exercise possible, and it seems that accommodation is their main target. Now to put things into perspective, if you live in a dorm owned by Melbourne uni (which is RIGHT in the Melbourne CBD) starts at $290 a week. which includes food
For a dorm room here starts $160 (food not included but is supplied and is priced between $43- $100 extra a week), the fear of your room being broken into and parties all night, every night but the plus side is internet and electricity also taken care of
For a room in a share house ran by the TUU between $80 and $200 - doesn’t include food, some do include electricity but most do not, comes with the possibility of slob housemates as well as fighting over bills, having to fork over shitloads of cash for bad internet connections through ISPs, maintenance been done at world record slow speeds and if you have a spare room, having people come through to look at it without notice.
Now in all honesty; where is the incentive for people to stay in Tasmania for university?
The campuses are dead
The accomadation is lack lustre, but you’re paying through the nose for it coz you know that if you go through a real estate agent it’s going to be like having your teeth pulled out through your ass.
What is a uni student to do?
Well a good solution for the unions would be look at how it would be possible to charge a fee, like societies day - you want to join a society? Well you have to member of the university union first, and I don’t mean hahaha u have to pay $250 up front, like have the price of a university membership at like $20.
How would that hurt I mean $20 from a student is better than NONE
Or what about doing a deal with UTAS to supply internet to all TUU houses for a bit extra in rent money, it would make it easier than dealing with ISPs
But what do I know?
Til next time!
