    If you're concerned about the quality of rooms, you're missing the point of college.

    To the guy above me: you sound bitter about not getting in. Lol. To the OP: Collegecollegecollegecollegecollegecollegecollegecollegecollege. That's all I'm going to say.

    Colleges

    There isn't a split, really. It was more pronounced last year, but this year it has changed a fair bit and it's a bit more harmonious. It's also not an issue.

    Shalom College Interviews

    Wow. You applied for one college, and you applied for the worst one. Apply for the others - you won't regret it. After living in college here for two years, I'm firmly of the opinion that at least one or two years in college will set you up for uni. The point on college is not to have nice...

    College Interviews

    Be yourself. Don't act like a dick. If you're shit you won't get in. If you're normal, and not shit, and they like you, you'll get in. Don't be someone you're not.

    General Education (Gen Ed) FAQ

    Yeah, that's all the assessment for the class. I'm doing it at the moment. The pamphlet took me all of two hours to do, including the time it took me to install Photoshop. Very easy. This is also true. Very very true. I'm still doing this class - it's actually quite interesting.. I've been to...

    Renting around UNSW

    NCV seems to be the place for you, but I think most offers have been made there. I'm at New, and it seems to me from everything I have seen to be a good place to head to. As for suburbs, I spent most of summer living in Kingsford. I've never had a problem - just make sure you're ont he west side...

    Last minute accommodation

    Look for a house off-campus for a small while or bunk in with some friends if you can. It's possible some colleges may have some places, but I very highly doubt it. I applied in early January to my college last year and got in, but a lot changes in January. I know my collge has already sent out...

    the food at UNSW

    Anzac Pde has food covered. You've got Maccas, Oporto, the Rege ($8 steaks), Churchies ($10 steaks which are better), 365000 Asian restaurants (good ones are Tanaphorn Thai, Ben's Thai, In Chan Thai, Delicious Satay Chinese and probably some others), Mama Teresa's Italian, Giovanna's Italian...

    What you hate about UNSW

    Re: 回复: Re: What you hate about UNSW Push to the front of them in the bus queue. My favourite trick is to pretend to look at the time the next bus is coming and then just hang around the front of the 20-metre long queue until it does come. Guaranteed seat! The best part is that I'm a fairly...

    UNSW Subject Reviews.

    This course was terrible. So dry and boring. Somewhat useful, but it really didn't stimulate thought in the same way other philosophy has done with me. Additionally, it is easy as piss. I didn't go to a lecture at all apart from the first week, I handed both of my assessments in 2 weeks late and...

    Does my UAI seem correct?

    Lord. I had better marks than that and my UAI was lower than yours last year. So gay.

    Is the social life at UNSW really as bad as people say?

    You forgot New. The social life here is pretty boring if you don't make an effort involve yourself. The Kenso Colleges, Warrane and New tend to get things going rather well, but most of our social events are intra-college. If you don't live at college, you need to actually make a big effort...

    general UNSW chit-chat

    And it didn't occur to you to walk 50m down the road and get a 393 or 395, or 30m to get something to Museum? An economics major isn't bad, but you need to major in something from list A - Economics is list C. POLS is list A though. POLS isn't great... Some lecturers are biased, and some are...

    UNSW Subject Reviews.

    This needs something of a bump, seeing as it's the end of session. I'll add a review when I'm done with my 3 exams and 2 essays that are really, really overdue.

    UNSW handbook

    I only did ECON this year, but in both Micro and Macro, you do a presentation to the class. It's good becuase it is easy marks and also becuase it allows you to grasp, in depth, at least one of the weeks of work, if you don't go to lectures or do any catchup work like me.
