one exam down, and now another closed book for thursday! :( what makes it worse is that facebook status' from my '5th yr law' friends have started popping up along the lines of 'i'm finished with uni forever', and I've still got a year and a bit to go.

Ok some tips to add (on my experiences in any case): - Colleges are places to live but they are also a community - don't come to college to be a spook (ie stay in your room all the time, not get involved). Residents won't look that favourably towards you - get involved in college...

ugh i very much dislike closed book exams, and I have two this week :( I think the thing that is difficult is that you get used to open book, and the fact that sometimes it just seems pointless. In the workforce you will research stuff/look it up. I can kind of understand it if the course...

I couldn't live without my printer at home - to have to go to uni to get stuff printed would be annoying (eg. assignments on weekends/days i'm not at uni). I think you should probably have something for emergencies. I even had my own printer when I lived at college - yes the colleges had...

the price is per subject, not per year. When they give the price per year (eg. $9000 per year for commerce, they are estimating it on 8 commerce subjects a year). Commerce/law is in the highest band, last time i looked they were about $1080 per subject. Arts subjects are about $600 per...

I don't think how well you go in hsc english is really an indicator at how you will do at law. I hated HSC english. I found it a waste of time, I just memorised essays the whole year and regurgitated them in the actual exam. As long as you can write well, how you go in law is dependent on a lot...

Its cheaper overall to pay in advance though right? (if you have the money to) I remember seeing one of the ANU college payment forms once - they are a lot more flexible regarding payment then the usyd colleges (at least on paper anyway). However as I said earlier, I suspect the usyd colleges...

do you mean in order to do well at law? ie. you writing ability? If that is the case, then you will be fine with a band 6. Definitely don't need 95+. To be honest, with what the HSC english course assesses, you would probably be fine with a band 5. You just need to be able to write well, however...

Most colleges that I know of require students to pay up front - although how much upfront differs. The college I went to invoiced semester 1 in about march, and semester 2 in about august I think. The college my sister attended for a year required upfront in about December the previous year...

I agree with what people are saying regarding grad med - i have a lot of friends that didn't get in first time and did a science degree or med science and are now doing grad med. If that is what you really want, then don't give up on it. Furthermore, don't just be one of those 'UNSW/USYD' or...

Whilst you have to do subjects when on exchange, all you have to do is pass. The actual marks don't get put on your home university transcript, and don't contribute to your WAM. A lot of people go over there to have fun, get a different experience, but without the worry about keeping your...

Well to be any kind of psychologist, you need to do honours and masters degree. I believe neuropsychology would be the same. I'm not sure if you have to do a specialised program, or just the normal psychology honours/masters. I would recommend going along to university open days and talking to...

Sorry I don't do psychology, although I had a friend that did it. I don't know the reputation of usyd vs unsw, however ATAR's should not be a determining factor. They represent demand, not necessarily which course is better. There is information on the degree (Bachelor of Psychology) here in...

well i'll assume after this year they'll put more regulations in. It seems after last years union elections, any kind of election on campus is getting more attention regarding conduct etc.

I dont know about commerce, but when applying for law summer clerkships any kind of work is a good thing - even maccas, supermarket etc. It shows you have some real world experience, dedication etc. I think its better to have a job in anything rather than have spent 3 years doing nothing. It is...

technically I think 'part time' is when you are a part time employee (not a casual). And if you think about 'part time' as a practical thing, then if full time is approximately 30 hours, then part time is about 15 hours a week.

Honi made reference to candidates giving food or something in return for log in IDs. I also saw a candidate with laptops set up, offerring food/lollipops in return for voting for them right there. Not sure what else was occurring though- or if what I witnessed would be enough to invalidate the...

1) unless you are a school student I'm pretty sure legislation state that you must be hired for at least 3 hours a shift. I don't think you could work 1 hour. And maccas would get no benefit hiring someone for 1 hour a week (even if they legally could). It costs to employ someone eg training...

well not necessarily - the university can choose to put the funds towards stuff like that, but not necessarily provide all those services. However, you will find the student union on campus generally attempts to provide those things (although it was hit by VSU, thus why the government is...

well it depends on the subjects, the lecturers etc the majority of people at uni do not get uni into two days. If people do get it into two days its generally because they have electives and pick subjects on the basis of the timetable... The other thing is, two full days at uni 9-6 (with one...
