You have some very interesting view on economic history, and judging from the fact that you seem to know "Keynesian" by name at least, so i'm going to assume you're an econs major. First dispanding ALL our armed forces? hrm great idea, who polices the waters of northern australia? I agree we...

Ok finally read through all of this stuff. Cut defence spending??? wtf? let me explain. Defence spending is putting govt money into the economy, almost EVERYTHING our def force gets, comes from Aust (i was in the Navy for a while, so i do know). Granted it's not everything, but most. Our...

Interesting thread, pitty i didn't come across it earlier. First let me say something about the recession hype. Technicially, a recession is 2 quarters of negative growth, and if anyone remembers correctly, last quarter, we had a positive growth (0.5%) so, no we are not in a recession - yet...

Need: 1 x pen (any colour really) 1 x note book 1 x student card for lib That's all, seriously. get in early and borrow those text books, saves heaps if u get em.

Hold on, you mean you don't use a quill?? I thought all uni's still issued quills

Tell you what, at this new institution you're about to enter, well as discussed in another thread, it's just SO different from school, what you can do, is go to you enrolled lecture and see how that is. Also, what you can do is go to a lecture (wait for it...) that you're NOT enrolled in...

Re: Should Australia grow it's population to 100 million? Indonesia lay siege to us; with what? I was in the Navy, and the Indonesian military (granted their army is large - but poorly equipped) doesn't even have the capacity to get here, little alone siege us. Rickety wooden fishing boats...

Going back to uni, studying full time so no time for full time work, plus money from govt so can only work like 10 hrs a week, so going back to my uni occupation SWIM TEACHING! good money, and fitness.... Umm, lets see, i've not done it, but i've know heaps of people who have. They had to do it...

Didn't Zimbabwe try that? Oh wait, Weimar Germany tried that too - result hyperinflation...... mmm bank notes become kites! Yey!

I'm rather excited too, meet new people (perhaps i'll be able to stay at this uni for the whole degree too this time) and finally have something to do each day! Plus rather interested in what i'll be learning, always a good sign...

Generally you can change them at any time, cept it's pritty stupid to change subjects after the first few weeks, catching it is nion-impossible. Some unis do have cut off times, but u can definitely do it in the first few weeks and still pass the unit.

Frowned upon in public places, other than that.... But, at least you know all the girls are at least 17.....

It happens, remember you're allowed to do 1st year subjects in the second year, so you will get another chance to do it. I've had to miss out of heaps of subjects that i'd be really interested in doing, and then after that, some of them got dropped :( Just enjoy it, don't worry about that...

The only thing that is the same, is learning, and even that doesn't always happen. There is no one to tell you what to do, you can kiss, smoke, watch porn (i've seen that before even) and no one cares (cept for maybe the last one - always lame people out there, or people who get offended) and do...

Don't sweat it, all first years worry about the same stuff. Minors, you don't have to worry about them till at least your second year (i just looked at the units i had done before graduating and cross-checked them to see if any would fit nicely into a minor - sadly not, as you cannot do a minor...

Re: Are Laptops rly nessesary for uni? The answer still remains a big no. You don't need a laptop. Write down all the important stuff in the lectures, as said, some unis have lecture templates (the slide shows the lecturers use) and you can just add onto them the important stuff they say. With...

From what i can gather about this Breadth stuff, is it's similar to a "general elective" cept that you can't do it in within your major area of study. In my first year (way back in 2003) I did 1 Psyc unit (which was a mistake...) while studying an econs degree. What i'd suggest, is think about a...

Re: Are Laptops rly nessesary for uni? Answer; No Fairytale's wright. People often take laptops to uni (as i've done lots) but not for lectures. Most unis (don't know about the one u might be going to) have electronic copys of their elctures anyway, so u can just print them out. Pen and paper...
