i gotta say i hate psych but thats just my personal opinion and most people i know love it...actually thats a lie...most people that listen in class love it...for those of us who dont listen and have attention spans of 2 year olds, we hate it!

so would you recommend the Bpsych?


i can only go off by the fact that im doing 2 psych units this sem, and i do enjoy and psych is very very interesting but from what people have told me it gets REALLY hard and the dropout rate increases during 2nd year for bpsych.

But this is only MY opinion don't let it deter you i do not know you or know what you want to do and how you want to do it.

by the way, i got my first psych of health essay back today about problem gambling....distinction yay

hiphop isn't really a reliable source.. :rolleyes:

i do social science, majoring in psychology. we do the exact same units as B psych. it's been relatively easy so far.. 1st year always is. Guy Curtis is the co-ordinator and a mad lecturer. funny guy. B Psych is only held at bankstown campus, though. to be a registered psychologist you gotta do 4-6 years of uni in total or something like that..
