<p>I know this is a website about American universities, but I just cant seem to find a discussion board about australian universities. </p>

<p>Anyone here attending U-Melbourne? I have problem with dorm!! Apparently the university website says that the university dorms will be closed during the academic breaks and holidays, even the ones dat are a few days long. I was wondering where they expect you to stay at that time?</p>

<p>Do most people reside in universities dorms, or nearby apartments??</p>

<p>I don't go to Melb but im guessing you're living at one of the residential colleges? You should check your plan with your individual college. I've heard some do close over the break as I hear they lease out some rooms for functions and events. Some don't.</p>

<p>I don't think they would close down the college for a short holiday. Its only the academic breaks between semesters and during summer that they may "close".</p>

<p>You should just call up your master of college and ask :)</p>

<p>Good Luck</p>

<p>Ahh ok... Also, I will need to choose to stay at one of the 13 residential colleges. Since I have never visited the campus, how do they expect me to choose it? Do each residential colleges have their own reputation or wadever??~~</p>

<p>Many American colleges in similar situations make accomodations available to international students. You really need to talk to them or email them.</p>

<p>Some schools have special dorms for int'l students that are open year-round.</p>
