So yeah, there's no way I'm touching 1031 chemistry, but pretty sure almost everyone I've seen so far here is doing advanced xD Anybody else signed up for 1011? Chem is definitely a subject I am not confident in :(

All I know is, everywhere feels more warm and comforting than UTS does :P Everything feels harsh, sterile and cold to me. I could never feel comfortable anywhere there except for in the laboratories of course ;)

Aglio e Olio (garlic and olive oil pasta) spaghetti or any other pasta you like 3-4 cloves of garlic (or as much or little garlic as you like) black pepper salt parsely (fresh or dried) olive oil 1. Boil pasta. Drain. 2. Mince the garlic (and fresh parsely if using). 3. 3-4 tablespoons of...

pj pants and some old shirt. Rather exciting wouldn't you agree?

I honestly thought this as well. That it was just a 'turf war' because they're somewhat reasonably close to each other and are older.

Re: general UNSW chit-chat When would be the 'quietest time' for me to go in and get my student card and other business attended to at the university? I was going to go the day after I received my offer, but figured that wouldn't of been the best idea, sudden influx of excited students making...

I think most overseas students probably know of NSW and VIC universities more as these states have higher migrant populations, so I can guess word gets back to family overseas etc? Just guesstimating. Probably wrong. There's a girl I talk to from Sri Lanka, she went to Deakin university, and...

In that case the University of Western Sydney should follow this criteria? I think it's just still revered by old fashioned people. Like my dad doesn't seem to realise there are other universities apart from USYD and UNSW. He still thinks those are the only 2 unis in the state in which you can...

This sounds awesome :(

When I was in high school (05) there used to be full fee paying positions along with csp. The full fee paying positions had a lower rank requirement, usually 5-10 points lower, and it was a significant advantage for those who could afford it. I don't think they do this anymore though? If they...

I've got a 13 hours contact week and no combination of my classes gives me a day off. Best I can do is 11-12 on Mondays :/ I have Friday lectures, which I cannot move. I haven't taken a class on Friday since...high school :/

I freaking hope so. Quidditch society seems pretty interesting too :) Honestly though, anybody know what the Subtletea society is all about?

I definitely do not recommended repeating year 12. Your time is better spent either TAFE-ing up and gaining vocational skills, or doing one of the college courses, where you are also getting some idea of how uni works, and can potentially hone your study skills before you get there, giving...

I can't remember anything I did in the HSC :/

My year 12 biology teacher looked like David Attenborough, and he'd love to tell us stories about Jurassic Park. When it came to teach evolution, every lesson = does anybody remember what happened in Jurassic Park? Wouldn't it be cool if that was real?! He was awesome :) Year 10 advanced...

Also, I really had no idea that there truly was this level of snobbery amongst the students there. I'm still somewhat hoping it's an exaggeration, because who wants to go to a uni on your first day, terrified and thinking you won't make a single friend , then get shit because your parents...

Apparently not. You can achieve the same marks, but you can't be on the same level? You'd think that money was the same regardless whose hands it's in, but apparently to some people, money takes on a different quality when possessed by others who live in another location. I thoroughly do not...

There were only two uni's which I could afford to go to which offer microbiology as a major, USYD and UNSW. Chose UNSW because -could get my statistics subject credited, so didn't have to take proper maths -had a better alternative entry and mature age entry scheme which suited my previous...

I left at the end of my second year as well, and felt the same way "only one more year, may as well stay". Leaving was the best thing I ever did. Part of the reason why I left my biomed degree because there wasn't enough specialisation, it's just too damn general. So even though I want to spend...
