Which student residences are close to city centre but also close to Macquarie University in Australia ?

We Answered:

Macquarie uni is a very long way from the city centre - approximately 17 kms - and there is no train line. There might be a train line there in 2009. The nearest train is at Epping Station which is not too far to travel by bus from the uni. So you might want to look at residences near Epping train station or even Chatswood train station if you want to be somewhere where you can conveniently travel to the city. The train is a much faster way to get to the city than by bus.

The uni website should have a student services centre you can contact to assist you with accommodation. They might be able to find some other students to share an apartment with.
Here is some info about transport:

Good luck with your studies and have a great time :)

Has anyone stayed in the hostels in New York city?

We Answered:

We stayed at the Aladdin Hotel, a few blocks from Times Square. There are private rooms (very tiny, we had bunkbeds) and shared bathrooms. We were only a couple of blocks from Times Square and within easy walking distance to Central Park & Rockafellar Plaza.

I think we paid about $70-80 for the private room, but I think they also have a hostel for about $30-40/night.

Have fun!
