Should I Move To Darwin To Study?

[writeoff]

Hello all,

After a crap 2007/8 recovering from a car crash I decide to go back to uni in 2009 and do another degree. My 3rd preference was a Bachelor of Exercise & Sport Science at Charles Darwin Uni and I was offered this course. The only people I know in Darwin are my aunt & uncle who would probably let me stay with them short term but ultimately I'd need my own place. I have until Friday 23rd January to respond to the offer. If I accept then I have <6 weeks to pack up, find a tenant and move!

My questions are:

Is Charles Darwin uni any good?

Has anyone on SAU done or currently doing this specific degree?

Is it easy to find accommodation near CDU?

Is there a decent import scene in Darwin?

Is it easy to get a heavy modified GTR serviced and tuned (PFC) in Darwin?

What are the police like in treating import drivers?

Are there many decent single chicks in Darwin aged 24-34?

I'd appreciate any answers to the above questions as it is a pretty big decision to make in not much time.

Thanks

youve probably already made your decision by now.

the uni is alright. not the best, though.

youd probably have to look in the paper for shared accomodation. me and my missus are looking for a house mate. if you moved in with us you have to let me take your car for a spin of course

hmmmm, havent brought my car into any workshops in darwin but id trust dave cheetham.

police arent as strict as down south. just dont drive around with bald tires and overly dark tint.

single chicks and single mums haha. darwin girls tend to be a little stuck up i reckon.

Thanks for your response - I was beginning to think no-one from SAU lived in Darwin.

I deferred for a year and asked to still be considered for my higher preferences. It will take me a year to get my house in a state to be able to rent it out (which I'd need to cover the mortgage).

Good to get a name for someone who can work on GTRs in Darwin though - cheers.

I'm sure we could swap cars (my 32 for your 34) at some stage although I wouldn't need to move in to do so.

Stuck up women eh... I could probably cope with that...

another thing you should know too. the rent up here in darwin is an absolute ripoff!
