Here's my not so awesome week 1 timetable:

are second years and above exempted from homework? lol ouch that must've hurt. pretty crazy with leaving bags outside on the ground if you have textbooks in them

Go the main library, there are like hundreds of powerpoints there. And seats too (you can sit on the floor if all seats are full but powerpoints are surely available).

I just logged in fine today with Chrome.

google chrome ftw i don't even have lags while opening files on blackboard on my little netbook

Short questions are alright, but keep it to 1 or 2 per lecture. Too many questions (especially stupid ones) can be very frustrating for others.

Luckily bags were allowed in the UNSW Bookshop if there were no textbooks inside. I wouldn't dare putting my white-coloured bag on the floor outside! Had a lecture and was quite sleepy throughout, two of my friends were playing games on a iTouch right next to me.

I like typing on a netbook/mini PC during lectures because it's so much quicker than writing and less tiring.

Just paid around $120 for brand new textbooks... yay. Had a lecture in Chemical Science theatre and was pretty sleepy.

UNWS = fail troll

If you eat, make sure it doesn't have any smells and doesn't have crunching noises when you eat. Stick to small snacks. Chocolate is a good option.

If you're not passing it even after more than 5 attempts, you'll have a hard time surviving in uni.

Guess what? I saw people playing PS3 in the main library one day last year, near the end of sem 2. =P

UNSW for commerce.

Just if you're not sure, untick all the boxes on your myUNSW class timetable except for week 1 and you'll find out. That simple.

I didn't get to join any, because the stalls were already closed/closing at around 4 something. lol fail for me, but I live nearby so wasn't such a waste of time. I know some of the clubs will still be setting up stalls next week.

I pay upfront as well and I get 20% off this semester's tuition fees.

Make sure you use the most time effective and simplest way to organise your notes, because once you get past week 3 or 4 it's easy to get lazy with note taking.

unless there are gigs/parties during the weekends, yes it's closed on weekends. the uni is pretty much empty on weekends unless it's assignment/study periods.

I took an FBE course in sem 1 last year - BENV1042, and my tutor was in her third year I think. Pretty sure if you're friendly with lecturers you'll get a chance.
