    student allowance - get rid of it...

    I'm sure 99% of the people who object to student allowance, has rich parents who look after them and give them a hand financially, because you will be damn busy enough to study and have a social life. For god sakes, my course will involve 20 hours, and this doesnt even include private study time...

    commerce/business is 80, and accounting is 73. i personally would prefer UTS, reason why i enrolled in tafe is because i feel is cheaper option, and i will have time to tidy up my study skills. btw, so you do think this guide uni websites give is not right? i mean hell they expect you to...

    i talked with my brother, he was a high distinction graduate with honours and he said no long hours are required except commitment to study everyday and not fall behind, and you get one week exam study time this is where you need to do 12 hour study daily to do well in the exams, otherwise...
