A controller we were talking to on our testing day in Brisbane was telling us how they got emailed the details of the other people on their course beforehand so they were able to get together for a dinner beforehand, and most of them ended up sharing a house together, which makes a lot of sense. Assuming I get through, I hope to be able to do something similar, living with people in the same course would make it easy to help each other with study, etc, plus carpooling :P
