i do 4 subjects, worth 8cp, 7cp, 6cp and 3 cp respectively, giving me the standard 24cp for this semester. I think it really depends on the subjects as to how many credit points you can do without having a metal breakdown. For example, my 6cp subject is 100000 times easier than my 8cp...

a lot of lecturers put their stuff online, increasingly moreso each year. if you have friends in lectures and you really want to get every single thing the lecturer says down you can write down points on alternate slides. I wouldnt stress too much, theres such a huge volume of stuff to get...

i do believe the battle has been fought many a time before... its always on peoples flyers around election time....

i do use vetsoc services, but i had to pay a hefty fee to join vetsoc, and while i appreciate it at times, its not a service i couldnt live without.. a keg doesnt have to be arraged for me to go to a bar.... in 4th and 5th year, we have to pay all these fees even though we dont use any of the...

i lived in america, and although their pass marks are higher, its a lot easier to get better marks. In high school i got straight A's without even trying. American uni's also cost heaps more, so i think the reason their degrees are longer is coz the uni's want to leech more money out of them...

its also important to note that $500 is a lot of money to be paid all in one go, especially when you have other expenses (ie- i spent over $1000 on textbooks etc in 1st semester this year) Its also important to note that u have to pay this money before you get any scholarship money, which isnt...

yeah keep your 12 units, as others have said it is good to have something to fall back on. Maths is so hard to do well in, like english because so many people do it. Unless you are really good at it, i would drop the 4th unit, because the amount of study time it takes up is not worth it for the...

a gym is not a necessity.. ever heard of running on real ground? or riding a real bike rather than a stationary one? Why should i foot the bill for some random 5th grade football team to use the gym? You can pay for you own gym memberships thankyou! For sports, people can just go down to...

my course is definately harder than the HSC, mostly because theres so much pre work to be done before pracs - like our anatomy pracs you have to prepare for, and when you've got 3-4 in a week , it gets hard. the volume of stuff to be learned for each exam is hard too, especially in anatomy, we...

i think the sports union fees are stupid anyways, why should the majority of students have to pay for a minority of students to be able to play football on fancy ovals? No offence but most people who live a fair distance away from uni dont have time to use any of the sporting facilities, and so...

on second thoughts, you sound like a bit of a wanker, dont bother showing up, if only out of respect for those who have worked so hard for these exams.

yeah but its always possible to put things right again, just takes a little more work

dont listen to him.. he lies!... it is not the most important academic event.. thats bullshit, there are so many other options if you stuff this up, its nothing to wet your pants over! edit - I stuffed it up, and here i am 2 yrs later with 2 scholarships and almost through the 1st year of the...

stress less, just go in to your exams, give it a go, and see what your UAI turns out to be. If you can get in anywhere, get in (to any course at all), work hard next year and transfer. The system allows for people who make mistakes like yours, you just have to work harder to get into what u...

Hey guys, just wanted to wish you all good luck for tommorrow and the next few weeks! Dont stress too much, it only makes it worse! Just think, in a few more weeks it'll all be over, and in a few years you will be laughing at how much you stressed about it. I know its been said before, but...

oh, and another question... can you hold an access scholarship and a commonwealth learning scholarship at the same time?

i dont get this centrelink newsletter! stupid centrelink. Calling it an organisation is the stupidest thing you can call it, it is the most unorganised department ever! I got a letter saying my youth allowance was cancelled for failure to lodge my pay info before i even got the letter saying i...

i try not to, but its hard, because if your mark is in the lower portion of the group, it makes u feel bad. if next time your mark is higher up, you have successfully outcompeted some ppl in your course. Sure they tell you everyone can get HD's but in reality, there is always a bell curve, and...

if you change your prefs after you have recieved an offer for A, you then only get offerred a spot for B, or C, or D if there are spots left after the main round. So you'd have to accept A, and then hope to get a late round offer for B or C. You can change your prefs now, right up until late dec...

how does one apply for these scholarships? if one is not a school leaver ie- already at university? what is the criteria? how much are they worth? i want one!
