[BLIT2014]

Anyone coming to the welcome party on Friday? Only going bc the summer haze and unwind @ ubar and pretty much anything else fun is all 18+

This friday??

 

[BLIT2014]

Isn't entry into Ubar 18+?

Yeah but TrentUnicorn is saying they can't get into anything fun sounding such as UBAR


''All patrons must have both proof of age ID and Macquarie ID for entry. Limited to one guest per member, unless otherwise specified /agreed by management.''

When are you turning 18?

I could swear I already answered this maybe uni has done my head in before I've even started....

But it's in three months, so I guess I save money and all but it still sucks

Nah I'm a part time student; when applying for OPAL the uni will send info to the dept. of transport whether or not you fit the eligibility criteria.

It will suck for any cadets/working students doing two subs.

The trick is to enrol for 3 subs(considered "full-time"), get your concession sticker and then drop the subject during the first weeks, they send you emails like you have to withdraw it back blah blah, but just ignore them and keep using the sticker.

They don't issue stickers anymore because of the opal card - the department of transport has access to your eligibility information, hence any student considered part-time attending a university which has moved to the opal card will not be eligible (or be able to do what you suggested); at least this is my experience at Macquarie Uni.

If anyone has information to the contrary, then feel free to refute.

Edit - it might be ok for students on HECS - but my fees are due upfront so I can't do that.

I dont think the enrol in FT and then withdtawl will work with opal as it's electronic. Come session 2 when they see your PT surely they can just cancel your card.

Main reason i haven't tried it this year

I'm just going to wait until I'm considered full-time (next sem) to get concession. My mum said she'll subsidise the extra cost for me, so I'm ok for now hahaha. I'm going to miss for the up coming couple of months having concession. *sigh* haha

I'm hopefully going full time next semester also. Looking foward to getting concession for the first time in 3 and a half years. I'm sick of arguing with the drivers when they try and sell me a concession on the way to uni. No mate, I don't have a ticket.

I've managed to psych myself out about uni, lol.

How much longer do you have left of uni? I'm stressing out because my course is so long [emoji17]

If I stay part time, 3 years. If I do full time (from semester 2) I only have 1.5 years. Last year basically was a wasted year for me which sucks. If I hadnt have been working it would have been worse.

This is NY 4th year at uni so I feel like I've gone nowhere. Thastsd the worst feeling of all. ;(

Next semester you can get the transport sticker. If you claim you may be travelling out of opal zones and stuff.
