| Re: [Serious] Law students, do you have a life?
Really easy to study law and have a life
- as many have mentioned, far less contact hours in law than most other degrees
- open book exams (at UNSW at least). still requires a fair bit of preparation, but certainly makes things easier
- can be a lot of dense reading. but its not too bad. also, depends on the subject and the lecturer you have, but sometimes no big drama if you don't get them done eg in contracts this semester i've done like 2 sets of readings, but still have a really good understanding of the course and a decent set of notes by just listening and taking notes in class- possibly as I have the most amazing lecturer ever
- It can require a lot of effort to get real top tier marks (but that's the same as any degree) but if you don't have such high aspirations, and have decent writing skills you should be able to coast through pretty easily- I know heaps of people who have failed commerce/maths/science/engineering courses, yet to meet anyone who has failed a law subject.
oh yeah also- if you make an effort to get involved, unsw law has pretty awesome social scene |
