It sounds like you need to get out of HSC mode. You don't need anything more than a pass at uni, you get the same certificate as some with HD average. Thats the only good thing about uni!
unless you want to further your studies beyond your basic bachelor.

i dont really understand what u people are moaning about.. if u dont like uni, either quit or keep working.. the 3 or 4 or however many years ur degree is, it will come to an end and you will have massive amounts of knowledge to use in the future and your fields of work.

Studying is a bitch.. and even if u have come straight out of higschool and into uni, you should still be motivated to study and do your best. I dont understand how studying in highschool is any different to studying at uni.. and anyway.. you have more time at uni then highschool..to study and have fun.

So i still dont understand what the problem is.. I rekon you people are just whingers trying to spam this place with your general complaints..

Oh and If you dont like the degree that you are doing, change it to something else.. I'm sure there was a reason why you picked it in the first place. There are ways to continue doing the degree you want and actually get the specific job you want.. and there are other courses you can take with your degree so that it becomes very individualistic and since you followed it and made it the way you wanted.. its yours and if it all works out in the end.. people can follow what you did in order to achieve the same thing.

so.. try it.. make it on your own..and be motivated!

I voted "YES".... There is more reading expected in my subjects than I expected though....

While I am not enrolled in the Business degree, I am doing all of the subjects. I must agree that there is a lot of reading to get through, but I still am enjoying it:).

Oh, OK, I have between 20 and 22 people in each of my tutorials and I have not problems. 26 people isn't really that bad in my opinion:).

That is because there are too many people for them to personalise with each student. Plus, you are old enough to know what is expected and keep up now. (I think) The way they see it is, if you want to work then good, but if you don't want to work they can't make you, so that is fine too:).

A little thing called HSC burnout.

You wanna know what I reckon? If you don't want to read our opinions, you can fuck off. Its a forum....do you know what a forum is? A place to express different views. You don't blast people for having different experiences to yours. You could have put this post in much nicer terms but instead you chose to attack.

who triple posted?

this is a forum, it's a place to express views, if people don't like uni, they don't. everyone is different, there are always going to be people who don't like it, and people who do.

if you expect people to listen to and value your opinion, you also have to value theirs and try to understand it. i just think that last sentence was a bit harsh. i'm glad you like uni though, as do i.

I miss school because I miss my friends, I miss being a big fish in a small pond lol, and I miss being able to ask my teachers for help whenever or on whatever....

But if I were still at school I probably wouldn't want to be there lol.

I like what my school was, but I have moved on. The day I finished I knew in my soul that the school part of my life had died, and have not looked back since.

I did go back once though, which was good. The place is very different. I wouldn't want to be there this year.

The bad thing about deferring is that when you go back to University, you will be a year behind all your friends. However, your case is different because you said you don't know many people going to Wollongong University anyway, and because you are doing a combined degree:).
