yeah i'd say its pretty accurate, especially in first year because of the transition from school, people find it hard to know what is expected of them, and drop out rates are high. About 50% of my friends have failed subjects.

we had a day down at the uni farms for orientation, and then in late march we had a trip to dubbo, which is where i made most of my good friends. definately go if they are offerred, at least at uni you will have some familiar faces

what the hell are you going to spend $160 a week on? If you need that much to live when all your basics are already paid for then u will have serious issues budgeting in later life. Transport will be very low, UNSW is pretty close to everything, and how much do u spend on toiletries? remember...

yeah, i mostly knew what i had to study and what i didnt. Plus, most lecturers use the same exams over if they can, so looking at past papers helps, sometimes they work in a 3 year cycle sort of thing. Dont stress so much, uni is not that bad, and it is hard, but not immensley hard. you've...

well, um, if they are paying your board and for meals and all that, why dont you get some casual work to pay the rest? last year i earned around $120 a week working on saturdays and that was more than enough to cover everything, including weekly train passes and half the time i bought my lunch...

stupid club, i have joined like 3 times and i have recieved no card!

oh gee, what bridge? I would assume the bloody big famous one that crosses the harbour. yep, making friends is necessary because no matter what course you are doing, you will always have bad days and you need someone to pull you through. God, uni would be a hell of an experience without friends.

i dunno if i'll bother, i mean, i'll already be at uni for minimum of 6 years. Hopefully my course is like you just get honours for doing well. *fingers crossed*

the public transport between syd and mq is crap, but they are working on a new train line so in a few years or so you'll be able to get the train to macquarie. at the moment you'd have to walk to redfern, train to epping and bus to mq. I wouldnt stress to much about that though, you make so...

what do you have to do to do honours?

i hete the ACR add with the old lady sipping a cocktail waiting for her mail and then jumps up and down when she gets it.

you'd have to do pretty well and study pretty hard considering you will be competing against people in america who take the sats as seriously as we take the HSC

she should be happy enought just winning in her own region, did u see the chick she was up against? she was like a full on model!

i think put your number one course. for access scholarships it doesnt matter anyway coz its not course-dependant. If you dont get into that course, just notify the scholarships unit later on.

i wouldnt bother with a laptop, no-one has them, and most of my lecture notes were available online anyway, so writing fast was not an issue. it'd just get stolen or something.

you could do the course via correspondance or through tafe, theres no point sitting in classes wasting time, and if your school is like mine was, there's no way they will change the teachers, they are too protective of their own. Is it public or private? if its private, then i would get your...

sometimes even if things are easy to do, the average joe blow wont bother, thats why you will stand out if you do write them a letter.

yes, i am, she's in my course at uni (well, the courses are kinda different, but pretty much the same) My name is megan, i went to mt st benedict, class of 02. I play soccer with ange.

so heres my two cents worth, dont mean to be mean, but these people are competing on an international level, they should be up to the challenge Germany Omg, what crap, he was pretty cute, but his clothes, dancing and song choice ruined it. If i wasnt so into idol i would have turned off the...

omg! it was soooo good, i didnt really want to see it, but i did with friends and i loved it! It was so funny, and left you feeling all warm and fuzzy inside. I lived colin firth's story line, especially when they were trying to talk to each other! hee hee. And i loved hugh grant, he was soo...
