    How many days at uni per week?

    For most years. But then you have a LOT of readings to do, so you can expect to spend 5-20 hours doing readings for your subjects.

    How many days at uni per week?

    Depends on degree etc. For arts students, 12 hours a week is pretty standard, so depending on when their classes are offered, they can end up with a 2/3 day week. For science students, if you're doing labs, you can have anywhere between 20-35 hours a week, which would generally be 4/5 days...

    Uni timetables

    Wow, ok, you're going to have to change that attitude and get your priorities sorted out. Classes are held at set times and there's *some* room for manipulating the best timetable for yourself, but if you go to one of the timetabling people and say you want a sleep in and you have to travel a...

    Bag for uni?

    I used to just use a country road bag because they're hug and fit everything and are fairly comfy, but after a while I started getting a sore back from carrying everything on one shoulder. Now I use a plain Adidas backpack that's super comfy and has a pocket for my laptop inside. Super practical...

    What to say when people ask what your atar was?

    Then I refer you to my line 'Better than yours.' Though mostly if people asked, I just said I was happy with it.

    Summer Holidays Chatter Thread 2012-13

    Oi Barbara - it's your bday in 9 days and while I'm assuming you have plans with non internet people, I think you absolutely must make some plans with internet people like yours truly and riproot to do tequila shots and dance sometime around the 14th y/y

    In a dilemma - please help

    You're saying that you want your children to do well academically, but it might be worth considering the environment of a private school. They have much better facilities than public schools and sports programs that far exceed those offered by public schools. To be honest, the type of student...

    Cumberland campus social life

    They also have tracksuit thursdays and tracksuit tuesdays and tracksuit mondays and wednesdays and fridays too basically it's pretty casual and a lot of the people are more of the sporty type because the degrees offered tend to attract more people who are super chilled.

    Indie/Folk Music

    THIS SONG. I quite seriously think this song is pretty much the closest thing to the perfect song I've heard.

    Cumberland campus social life

    Not as good as the main campus, but it has its own fairly relaxed vibe. Cool things are that it's a smaller community so easy to get to know people, and everyone has their breaks at the same time so you can all hang out together and don't have to worry about trying to work out when everyone's...

    Im no expert, but I have an idea for taxes

    Wouldn't work. eg a whole portion of society might be like 'Oh hey, I'm an adult with no children, let's not put any money into education!' which would then end up detrimental for the next generation. The government is responsible for the WHOLE of Australia and have to act in such a way as to...

    Lectures at USYD?

    As I've said, with science/engineering, you have zero chance of getting a 3 day week. This is primarily because you'll have approx 20-25 hours of class per week which would be absolute HELL if you had it all crammed into 3 days and you'd likely have a lot of clashes and things like that. I...

    Lectures at USYD?

    1. USyd has a great reputation, and decent facilities for undergrads. You also get lovely sandstone and the whole 'prestige' thing. I'd say the quality of learning and academic outcomes are the same as those at UNSW. Other things like social life/clubs and societies/etc are much more developed...

    What absurd things have people done in your school due to competition and rivalry?

    Re: What absurd things have people done in your school due to competition and rivalry Same thing happened with me. Everyone worked individually for trials to get their ranks sorted, but when it came to HSC, it was a whole combined effort. Heaps of people in our grade shared notes on a forum we...

    What absurd things have people done in your school due to competition and rivalry?

    Re: What absurd things have people done in your school due to competition and rivalry How did not a single person think to confirm with the teacher? You're all 17/18 years old and seem to be lacking in maturity. I think what she did was undeniably bitchy, but you all let yourselves be taken...

    Psychology

    You do have to write an essay or report each semester, but the main focus is generally on the final exam. If you can rote learn well, you should be fine for that. The essays and reports require more analysis and interpretation, but they should teach you how to do that. A lot of people find...
