Congratulations on getting into med! I'll be in your course next year actually (as long as I pass my exams).
Because of said exams, I can't really give you a whole lot of info now, but do you know if you'll be at the St. Lucia or the Ipswich campus yet? Because that will probably affect your choice of living area.
If you don't get enough info from other comments on this post, then feel free to PM me later, and I'll try put together something more detailed for you once my exams are done (about a week from now). Congratulations once again, and good luck!
Edit: Might be a good idea to join these facebook groups too.
