    Are teachers necessary to get a good ATAR?

    Well I guess not. I guess there must be some homeschool kids around (rare I know) which must get an alright atar? This reminds me of my year 11 biology teacher. She couldn't have been more than 24 at the time, and each lesson consisted of her writing word for word a textbook passage on the...

    CHEM1011 vs CHEM1031

    I'm taking chem1011 this year, because I failed first year chemistry when I was at UTS, so no direct experience in the subject at unsw, just going by what friends have said about chem 1011 in past year and reading both course outlines. Chemistry, no matter which uni you go to will cover...

    CHEM1011 vs CHEM1031

    I'd definitely have a chat with someone in the chemistry department if you go on advisory day, or just sending an email to someone in the chemistry department about it. I don't want to say what you should do because I'm not the teacher and I personally find chemistry to be a struggle, so I'm...

    Enrolling..

    When you try to enrol in 5 subjects the system is not going to process it. Mentions it here https://my.unsw.edu.au/student/academiclife/enrolment/EnrolmentErrors.html Maybe suss out the timetables first before enrolling?

    Travel - Which is better for a Uni student?

    I was using it last year, it was worth the money for me. Well with mymulti weekly/monthly/quaterly/yearly, you get unlimited travel within your zone. Unlike the mybus 10 tickets where you can only use the ticket for 10 bus rides, mymulti could be used as many times as you want within the period...

    applying thru uac in second year

    With internal transfers, I'm pretty sure the ATAR has nothing to do with it, just what your credit average is for the year. Just as long as you meet the WAM credit requirements for transfer, your application for internal transfer is done through the university and not through UAC. If you were...

    Who has done the SAT's?

    For EC's, make sure to do some volunteer work, Savlos door knock campaign for instance shows that you get involved in your local community and get out and about and meet people, even if you are asking for donations and maybe even some tutoring for younger students. I remember in high school I...

    CHEM1011 vs CHEM1031

    Well I guess how hard did you have to work to get that 88 for high school chemistry? Uni chemistry (I found anyway) was a pretty big step up from high school chemistry. You're covering more content in a smaller time frame. You had a whole year to learn your content, now you're facing 13 weeks...

    Burning out? Truth Or Myth?

    There's also a difference between losing your motivation temporarily and not study for a week or so but get back on the horse, and those who lose it altogether and decide to stop and do something else for good. It's somewhat to lose motivation in small doses, you can't be switched on all the...

    Burning out? Truth Or Myth?

    I burned out during my last stint at uni. Mainly because I didn't well with the pressure of a 4 subjects/semester load (3 is way better for me to handle) plus was becoming so insanely demotivated with my uni and degree. I wasn't getting what I wanted from it, so I just sort of had a mini break...

    How often do you poop

    My sisters friend once didn't poo for 29 days. She had to go to hospital to get it removed..manually. :/ I'd be getting suspicious after 5 days of nothing happening and then proceed to take some laxatives, how the hell does someone get to the 29 day mark and not do anything about it prior? Her...

    Decent bags for uni/school

    I use my 6 year old denim country road duffle bag, you know the ones that were insanely popular back in 2007? They're all made canvas or denim, so they're definitely going to last you a long time, provided you treat them well, like any other bag. I've even used those calico bags you get free or...

    anyone know any websites that ship beauty products to australia

    sasa.com for any asian cosmetics (I highly recommend the Heroine Make Kiss Me Long & Curl and Volume & Curl mascaras!) cherryculture.com Sephora does not ship to Australia. They don't even accept Australian credit cards/debit cards, same with Ulta.

    What did you just buy NOW thread?

    A size 12 girl who is tall, it's not going to look chubby, unless it's size 12 pants, then size 14-16 top. I don't know how that happens, but I've seen it. Brought some czech firepolished glass beads and various other supplies to make more earrings with. Just so sick of never finding what I...

    Your Ideal age to get married?

    I'm 24 and have been together with my boyfriend for 5 years now, if he decided getting married would be on the cards next year, I would freak out like you wouldn't believe (then again I am probably not going to get married and if I did it would only be for any government legality/benefit...

    Cheap Textbooks

    Don't forget Abe books as well, but I believe they are an offshoot of bookdepository. Booko is seriously a lifesaver though.

    Judging by what I can see on the Arc site, these interest me -AnimeUNSW -Atheist Society -BABSOC & EISSOC -Quidditch Society -Subtletea (at this point I'm assuming it's some sort of tea appreciation group, can't find info about them yet) -VeggieSoc Never been involved in ubi clubs/societies...
