Many people disagree with me but I think uni is similar to high school if you exclude the explicit details such as attending class for the subject once or twice a week as opposed to everyday. In the end, there will still be the good old studying for assessments, exams and completing assignments.

It's shit if you don't make any friends. Also it's shit if you have no friends and thus are forced to do group projects with random chinese students because they are lazy as shit, plagiarise like a mofo and submit poor quality work.

But for most people I guess uni is pretty sweet, but I wouldn't know.

It's a lot more work and the teachers don't care about you and it's more lonely and depressing and it makes you want to die.

Its shit.

Mainly for the reasons kaz1 said: more lonely and more work with less support networks.

Choose how much work you do. Live in your own place. House parties.

What's not to love.

I can't wait to go to Uni and meet smart nerdy people!
I'm going to try and scab off $1 off everyone at each lecture. (Hopefully there's like 100 people per lecture)

uni is good because you don't have to go
plus people treat you like an adult.

It's shit if you don't make any friends. Also it's shit if you have no friends and thus are forced to do group projects with random chinese students because they are lazy as shit, plagiarise like a mofo and submit poor quality work.

yeah. I got stuck with international students for a group project and ended up doing the whole thing myself. one of them was like I MEK CHANGEZ and he changed the fucking font lol

internationals in your group are the worst. I had an international partner in this programming assignment, all he did was send back an email saying "very you smart".

if i was an international student who could get away with not doing work by playing dumb, i would.

Yeah the internationals are hit or miss, in my degree about half are outgoing and try to be social, and try to talk to the english speaking guys, while the other half never speak to anyone except other asians.. Actually, i guess the same thing goes for Australians too.
