I specifically asked if law students have other delays.

Actually, I called them up, and there is a delay with some law students, because the law department has been making the assessment regarding exemptions, and they told me my application was still with the law department. They won't post out the notice to me in mail, but I'll need to pick it up...

Because it's not my problem that they sent out letters to some students while leaving other students waiting past the 8th of Feb. Because I didn't realise that we would wait until 12 Feb when many others have chosen their respective timetables, leaving us to pick the leftover slots. And I just...

I almost want to return to UWS. I had equity scholarship at UWS, have none here, no mature age student scholarship offered to me; I am likely to have inconvenience in choosing my timetable, and I still have not received the letter today. Actually, I almost want to take a leave of absence and go...

Recently, the Macquarie University Law Society actually put up a petition addressed to the Vice-Chancellor on its facebook page for students to sign so that the underfunding problem of Macquarie Law School may be addressed. I don't think the Macquarie Law School should be under the Faculty of...

HSC is simply a way to admit new students, but uni is so different from high school, ATAR doesn't mean much when brought into the context of law school. The way uni works is different from high school. Some of the best performers I've seen at UWS law school are the graduate entrants and the...

I'm sad to leave UWS law, but the safety issue is a big concern for me. I study at Campbelltown, and in 2009, there were a number of assaults between the campus and the train station, so much so that the uni started running shuttle buses between the campus and Campbelltown station. Also since...

If I could get into USyd, I would take up the offer. But then I also know a prolific researcher may not be able to teach as clearly as some other academics. Yes, I prefer MQ's electives, they interest me more. And yes Adelaide and Canberra are too far, moving can be a hassle.

ANU is in the Go8, but I preferenced MQ just over ANU, this year they had very similar cutoffs for the combo I chose to do. Just because a law school is in the Go8 doesn't necessarily make it better in undergraduate law. I was also offered a place at the Adelaide Law School which is in the Go8...

You don't need to enroll now, the uni will hold an enrolment info/academic advise session, and you should be notified of the date by the uni. For freshmen, in the law degree, you are looking at doing the core units only, and for the first year, that is Torts, Introduction to Law, Law Foundation...

Why don't you stay at UNSW? It's a very prestigious law school. It's not as old as USyd, but its teaching style is interactive, small class seminars, legal clinic.

in my BA/LLB, I had to travel between Bankstown and Campbelltown, but you're combining law with commerce, aren't you? or is it communication studies? If the latter, then yes, you may need to go to Penrith for communication. But since you are free to match your own timetable, you could perhaps...

With that UAI, couldn't you have applied for USyd or UNSW instead?

Don't worry about the law camp, but do get a "buddy" from more senior years, get a book from the library about how to answer law exam questions; and get those books published by Pearson and LexisNexis, those which are like summary books. Because law textbooks in general are just too big, those...

even ANU's Arts/Law rose to 96; and MQ's cutoff on par with ANU's.
