This is the biggest wind up in history, right?

You have to be joking? I’m sorry but, Indoor Plants, curtains, blinds, bins, artworks, sound system, games, bookshelves, decorative lighting, clock, expresso machine, projector and beanbags are not “necessities”. Plus you can build everything with milk-crates.

You don’t need an industrial fridge/freezer for a 6 bedroom house. The uni lodge 5 bedroom apartments have 1 average sized fridge that fits everything. You just have to be efficient with space.

“Espresso machine (dreaming big here)”… don’t get me wrong, I have a Jura. But it’s a bastard to maintain and chews up cash to feed it decent beans. Same story for manual machines.
Buy a drip filter machine for $50, get a deal going with one of the campus cafes to piggy back on their bulk bean orders. Cheaper to maintain, no fights over who used it last and has to clean it and make about 8 cups in a few minutes.

“1st Aid Supplies”… good thinking, but also make sure you have at least 1 fire blanket and 1 Class 2A:40B:E fire extinguisher, both located centrally near cooking areas.

So, what’s the punchline?

Now that Gen Y has cleared uni, make way for Gen ID (stands for ‘I Deserve…’).

I have a shubbery….

lol gold

If you want nice shiny things then perhaps make like the rest of us and work for them. I can appreciate that your students but I’m not sensing a whole lot of genuine need here. Especially if you only want the “pretty” and/or “beautiful” things. :\

Espresso machines, board games and projectors for movie nights? You need a reality check.

Surprised you left out essentials like someone to provide the food, rent, cleaning, laundry…

I remember parties at Havelock House when I was at uni. Or should I clarify, I remember turning up to those parties. The guys there had some pretty good contacts and some pretty strong stuff.

Description as copied from the “I lived at Havelock House” Facebook page.

-Havelock House, Northbourne Avenue, Canberra. Shared housing like no other…

Be it the Goon Parties, Stoned Escapades, Water Fights or Jammin on the Laundry Roof, if you’ve lived at havers, you’re part of an elite crowd…

Y’know, part time work isn’t that hard to find in Canberra if you’re willing. If you’re not willing then you probably shouldn’t be at uni. And why do you need a fridge? 2 minute noodles won’t go off if you leave them in a milk crate.

Give the kids a break. I think Canberra residents have so much excess “stuff” in there house that
they would happily get rid of given half the chance- who can blame these kids for putting down a wish-list? If you don’t ask youll never know.

Rice cooker?! Use a pot and some fire! You don’t need an appliance to cook rice.

In the spirit of “If you don’t ask” … I’d like a free house down the coast for a couple of weeks, preferably before the holidays. It would also need an awesome sound system

And views of the ocean. Clear views mind you, not obscured by trees and houses.

And preferably near a pub.

Rice cookers are the best kitchen appliance ever, you wont find an asian resteraunt without one.

As the OP has no doubt recognised though, you have to pick your audience/target market.

A classy pub only though. They must have Cascade on tap.
