B Commerce (Actuarial Studies)/B Arts (Chinese Studies)

Likes:
- Campus life; lots of clubs and societies
- Teaching experience (in general, most subjects like Maths, Accounting, Finance and Economics have good teaching, others like Actuarial aren't that great)
- People in general; they tend to be quite nice and not pretentious

Dislikes:
- Distance; it's a bit far but that's not a big factor into the uni rating overall
- Inconsistency of teaching; not too much of a problem since most tutors are generally good
- The fact that UNSW is turning to another Westfield (I do acknowledge that uni's are here to make money, but seriously... :/)

I liked those tents.

You walked out onto the field and it was like... a post-apocalyptic waste land. Eerie. But so, so cool.

[sinophile]

- the stairs
- the travel time added on from waiting and catching buses
- the tiles, they're too fucking shiny i mean seriously god damn how hard can it be to have tiles that don't blind me in summer

[kaz1]

Arc is seriously worst than the third reich.


Also after three years I don't break a single sweat going up those stairs nowadays.

Bachelor of Commerce/Arts

Likes:
- Definitely the campus life. UNSW might be reputable for what it teaches, but it's also reputable for being a kickass party university. I know that several famous bands (such as Paramore and Yellowcard) have performed at UNSW in the past.

- The people! I just started studying at UNSW this semester, and I'm blown away by how nice people are. If you look lost, they'll actually help you out! Back in my home country, they basically treated you like you were air and, well, crap that got stuck at the bottom of their shoes.

Dislikes:
- Yuppers, distance is definitely a dislike for me. I live just 15 minutes away from UNSW, but I wish that UNSW was actually in the city and not a 20 minute bus ride away from it. =/

- How they're out there to take your money and piss on it. We're not moneybags. >__>;
