I can't drive so by train itd prob take me nearly 2 hrs or more. Train it to Sydenham and then to Wollongong. My parents wouldn't let me move out..not at this stage :/

i already hate the train enough
if i move out, i don't think my parents will want me to return lol

About why the HSC doesn't matter (bit silly saying that at a school that requires 91+), his life, life in general, and a tiny bit about computing. Really pointless, you didn't miss much.

It wasn't even pointless. You are just being close minded.

He said you can get in with 81+ and that's the unis requirement its not really up to CSE.

What were you really expecting him to talk about?

It was 99.9% pointless. I walked out of there with no info about the CSE programs / degrees / what they offer.

How am I being close minded? I've been set on UNSW since the start of this year, I was one of the most open minded people coming into that lecture.

How can you say that being lectured for 3/4 of the whole talk about how the HSC doesn't matter was relevant? Yeah maybe to some, but they had no other lectures and that was the only thing they had to offer to educate people on their program and why it's better than other unis'.

What about that lecture did you think was good? Genuinely curious.

I prefer the train to buses lol.
My parents are too strict and over protective. Theyd never let me live on campus. :')

Tbh I prefer UNSW as a campus over USYD and UTS, and I don't mind the bus ride (im used to trains during peak hours in the morning), so I liked todays open day in comparison to the other open days.

I think UNSW is a good balance between the city feel and a more laid back feel, if that makes sense. UTS, e.g. is obviously right in the middle of the city, UOW is very out of the city.

If I don't live on campus (thinking of living at the village), then I'll probably buy a car since the drive is pretty easy and quick ~40mins, compared to over an hour and half train ride + bus.

I really like the UNSW campus out of all the uni's, I mean I love UOW as its really green and there's a duck pond and ducks!! But UNSW has always been my ultimate dream. I reckon UNSW is the best (but then again I'm kind of biased towards it...) and the library is sooooo awesome <3 <3 <3
If I went to UNSW I'd have to train it then bus it. UTS is just way more convenient for me. Actually I lie...most convenient uni is UWS for me...but I'm not going there so.... :3
Anyway, I still really hope I'll get into UNSW but I feel I'll probably end up at UTS with the way things have been going this year. I'm cool with that though, they have the super lab at UTS *_*

 

[FlyingKanga]

Why am I a 5 minute walk away from UWS...

Actually it's called WSU now right?

Honestly I don't even know what was the point of the name change, they changed the logo fair enough but their name too? lol.

What are you planning on doing if you get to UTS?

 

[rawrliongirl]

What are you planning on doing if you get to UTS?

The best weather to study is when it's raining by far!

Tbh I prefer hot weather, as cold weather tends to make me sleepy.

Hot weather gives me a headache when studying, especially when doing some intense cramming.

YES. It's really hot in qld atm....can't concentrate.

 

[jono_jonoson]

I prefer to study outside when it is hailing. The lumps of hail constantly hitting me on the head, are like the drumming of knowledge into my brain, and help me to concentrate better.
