Well just speaking from my own personal experience, i got a lot more out of lectures and tutes than from reading a textbook. It is better than nothing, but after a semester of uni, your mind will need a break, enjoy your holidays while you are on them man. I dont think the effort put in...

no, uni is a lot different to school. Textbooks, even when reccommended by lecturers are really just reference tools, rather than guides as to what you need to know. The best way to know what to learn is by showing up to lectures and tutes, and then if you want to do further readng, or dont...

i doesnt make much difference. Look at the classes you will take in both degrees and see which you think you could get better marks in, based on which interests you more. Both wil give you a good backing for dentistry, so do whichever you think you will enjoy more.

no it wont, but your friend needs to enrol in the nursing course, or they may well miss out altogether. Very few offers are made in the fnal round. If he/she changes their prefs for final round, it wont cancel the nursing offer, they can still recieve a late/final round offer even if they have...

i dont think thats true, for a science degree, there is a lot of pre-work and post work for pracs, and some of the concepts are pretty hard, so you will need to study outside of uni hours. With a load of say 24-26 hours per week, i personally wouldnt want to work more than 15 or so hours per...

i usually bring my own lunch, and eat it on a lawn somewhere. Its easier than spending half your lunchtime lining up for food, and its a bit of a waste of money too. At least if i've brought lunch i dont have to stress about having enough time to go buy some, coz lunchtimes are usually pretty busy.

you can defer your FEE payments using the FEE-HELP scheme. Works just like HECS, but with a $50,000 limit. You fill out the form just like you would for hECS at enrollment.

yup, i'm paying all mine, and deferring my hecs... will be $40,000 by the time i graduate, but its not that bad, i mean, a lot of ppl have hecs debts when they graduate. Its better than america where the students all have heaps of debt. I'd rather owe the government than a bank. Will prob put...

yeah, but you need to be the top to be able to do the course, its gonna be frickin hard mto keep up a distinction (?) average in advanced sci. Anyways, congrats nit, i am in awe!

not unless you live interstate. You can send someone else on your behalf though, its called a proxy enrollment.

yeah i went to a meet up once in manly a few years ago, met a couple of people, was nice, but didnt stay in contact with any of them... most of them dont come on here anymore.... i'm such a nerd! oh well..... it'll be cool if you guys actually see each other more often, being at the same uni etc...

people, i really think you are all stressing too much. If you feel like walking, walk, if you feel like catching a bus, catch a bus. Its not like you have to make the decision now and never change your mind....

Hi, yes the course if 5 years, 5th year is spent doing 10 one month long roatations at different vet practices. There are no exams, but there are assesments, and you are working full time. Dont worry about a physics bridging course, we hardly do any physics at all, just as long as you have...

a good employee is reliable, always turns up for shifts, is on time (95% of time... unavoidable causes excused), doesnt fight with the boss, if they have a disagreement they present it calmly to the supervisor, rather than yelling about it, they admit their mistakes and learn from them, they...

they send you one sample booklet when you book in for the test, and theres a form if you want to buy another one. WEA (adult education place in the city... check the website) runs STAT preparation courses throughout the year. I did one, and it was pretty helpful, lots of practice qustions etc

i think its not really a choice for most ppl, living in the city is frickin expensive, and i could not earn enough on weekends to pay rent when i am at uni 5 days a week. I'm kinda stuck between a rock and a hard place.... spend 3 hours a day travelling, or spend that 3 hours working to pay...

yeah i was at the sci stand, but was gone for lunch from 1-130 and helping at the arvo tea from 2ish, so maybe thats why you didnt catch me... bummer. Oh, and i had to count lecture attendance periodically too.... so may have been off doing that...

a lot of the ppl i spoke to on the day were really just there to be reassured about the decisions they had already made. Most people pretty much knew most things about the courses they were interested in. I think some ppl were just hoping to somehow find out what this years cut offs will be...

hey, to answer all asked questions.... My UAI was 96.95, not high enough to get in straight from school, so i did a year of animal science and applied to tranfer into vet. To do this you need to complete at least 1 year of uni study, get a distinction average (or honours if you complete a...

haha, thats so true! i joined and havent done a single thing since... oh well... For my profession its not that useful, but for others i suppose it would be. I was just so shocked to be invited, and it made me feel special :-)
