Summers can be quite hot at times, and thunderstorms are more prevalent. The many pools around the city become popular places, as do the rivers around Canberra. With the Pacific Ocean only a few hours to the east, trips to the beach are another way to cool off. Autumn brings crisp, clear skies, much favoured by the balloonists who often take to the air around this time. The days are pleasant and the nights start to get cooler. The changing colours of the leaves signal entry into winter. Winter in Canberra can get chilly, though it rarely snows within the city. Even on the coldest days, there is a good chance that the sun will be shining as Canberra winters are generally quite dry. The Snowy Mountains, a few hours south of the city, are the destination of choice for skiers and snowboarders. Overall, Canberra’s climate is best described as continental – warm summers and cool winters. The hottest month is February and the coldest month is July. You need to be prepared for a range of weather. Make sure you bring plenty of warm clothes, but also hats and sun-cream for summer.

She Yin Teo: Labuan, Federal Territory of Malaysia Bachelor of Law/Bachelor of Economics “I expected to have some coping issues from the very beginning, since it was my first time going overseas alone. The transition was not easy: the issue of English as a second language, the worries of having no friends or relatives in a strange place, the idea of coping with a totally different culture. But the programs that ANU offered have helped me a lot. The Meet and Greet Service helped to ease my anxiety of arriving alone, my helpful SIGN mentor equipped me with basic survival tips for ANU and Canberra, and the seminars and workshops provided by the Academic Skills and Learning Centre (ASLC) were really practical. Most importantly, the English as Second Language course offered by the ANU College of Law and the essay review services of the ASLC have helped me cope with any study issues. The ANU community is huge, but closely-knit. People are friendly, helpful, fun, intellectual and flexible. I am proud to be part of the community. Being with the best makes me eager to always strive for nothing but the best. My life at ANU is really wonderful. My experiences have been awesome. I participated in Fenner Hall’s cooking competition, Iron Chef 2007. My team won the title. We prepared four dishes including American, Chinese and Thai cuisine. From being a girl that has never cooked before back home to winning the title, you can imagine how shocked my family was when they heard the news.”

Living as an international student at Unilodge Kinloch has made me so much more confident and independent. The lecturers and tutors are very approachable. They are always I’ve met people from many different countries and I’ve got a real there to answer questions and extra consultation time is made available every week to help students in their studies.

26 Amir Jilani: Islamabad, Pakistan Bachelor of Commerce/Bachelor of Economics Amir chose to study at ANU because the University is known throughout the world by reputation as one of the top learning institutions which consistently achieves high standards in education. “The quality of faculty, the highly distinguished graduates the University has produced and the serene and unique location of ANU all contributed to my decision to study here. ANU is a university that has something for everyone. There are a number of activities students can get involved in including sports, student elections as well as the various societies that contribute to the cultural diversity of ANU. I have found that the people are extremely friendly and accommodating especially when it comes to new students. Amir appreciates the pace of life Canberra has to offer and feels it is a highly underrated city, “Though Canberra can certainly be quiet at times, there is something unique about it that you can’t get elsewhere. For one thing, getting from one end of the city to the other doesn’t take too long. For someone like me who hates traffic, it is ideal. The weekend opens up doors for entertainment as a number of clubs and restaurants situated close to the campus are open till late. Those who wish to take a break from studying can relax and go for a late night movie. Overall, the city has an extremely relaxed atmosphere and allows for you to set the pace.” Once he has completed his degree, Amir hopes to pursue further studies in economics and gain practical experience in the field. “I yearn to one day return home to my country and hopefully play a vital role in improving the political and economic situation there. I believe that my ANU degree will form the foundation for my professional career and assist me in achieving my life ambitions.”
