The transition form high school to university (1 Viewer)

[Dragonangel]

I'm doing Bachelor of Veterinary science this year. I've never been to university before, so I'm a little excited but nervous as well.

I know in university, you don't have teachers breathing down your necks, which is something I honestly will miss. XD It's more independent.

How much more different is uni from high school?

 

[witide]

There are bars at university.

How about study-wise? Like is it more difficult? Not particularly interested in bars...

 

[Dr_Fresh]

how can u not be interested in bars? study should be low priority.

Harder than year 12?

If you're not interested in bars, then study will be easy for you.

No uniform
Your choice whether you go to classes
Topics are more focused

It differs for everyone. For me it's a hell of a lot harder and takes a lot more effort, however since i'm studying what i love i enjoy doing the work.

I'm looking forward to that. ^^ It's good to study something you actually will use in the future, than bloody integration and stuff in maths. x_x

I see... I guess veterinary science would be kinda intense?

20 year olds still need to be disciplined with their constant talking

No uniform

WRONG.
No enclosed shoes, lab coat or safety glasses means no entrance to labs.

integration and differentiation is used alot youll be suprised, calculus has a big impact in economics and other fields, not sure about vet sci but

Yeah I know, but I meant in relation to my course. Yeah, I don't think we'll use it in Vet sci!

It's not really a definitive uniform though. It's more safety equipment. They don't give you set colours though do they? Or certain designs?

In any case:

'Mostly' No Uniform.

I've just finished 3 commerce subjects, and I think in total I had one question that was math based.

Which, like you said, is irrelevant when your doing what you love :uhhuh:

 

[henry08]

Do you have to provide your own lab coat and safety goggles?

UNSW needs a travelator between lower and upper campus. So many steps! It is easier to walk up the wheelchair ramps than climb 500 steps!
