I haven't got a letter yet... :( Its probably got to do with living in a "remote" location. I've paid my security deposit for Wright Village. I wish I could live in a catered accommodation, but I have no idea how you guys can afford it. The weekly rent is heaps, plus the food on top. I'm...

Hey, I'm staying at Wright Village and have to bring my own sheets and blankets and such. Do you know if there is anywhere to post the stuff to that I will be able to pick up on the Sunday when I arrive? What do most people do with the extra stuff they can't really take on planes?

As long as you are an Australian citizen they won't reject you. It is something that everyone is entitled to. If you have the money then its probably not a bad idea to pay it, or if your parents are paying thats also not a bad thing, but I don't think it would be worth going around and...

The problem is that no one knows if they are going to get a late round offer so they all accept their main round offers, and just wait to see if they can get a late round. Also, when they receive the late round, its doesn't cancel out the first offer. The main vacancies in courses will...

Considering that you have nine spots for preferences its not stupid to put courses you have little chance of getting in first place, you have nothing to lose. Although, it is unlikely that you will receive an offer to a course with no vacancies. If it were me I would make sure there are some...

Depends what you are doing. I've heard of a lot of people choosing electives that they are interested in, and end up liking so much that they change their degree to pursue them. If I were you I'd pick something you were always interested in, or something that sounds appealing for you. Not...

I personally don't like Dells. I've seen many bad warranty experiences and I just don't like them. Be aware that you'll probably find most laptops too heavy and bulky to carry around. They aren't as practical as you might think. If you are wanted to take notes in class consider...

If you are going to make a thread like this please either make a question so that people can help you, or write it like a story, sharing the background and events that led you up to this point, so people can sympathise with you. I'd feel for you if I knew what happened, but I don't know, so...

I think 90% of first years join clubs, after semester one about 5 - 10% of the general university population are active members of clubs. In my experience most clubs cost about $5 to join. Although a few, like movie club and I think the Debate Society, were more. Some also have on-going...

You should puts the one you want most in 1st place. So put the Global & Int. studies in first place, and Arts in your second. If there are any places you are probably likely to get an offer to Arts - but I was under the impression that USYD wasn't really planning on making late round offers...

Now you've made me all nervous. Maybe I should only do one law subject in first semester. I've already done a year of arts though, so I was thinking I could use that to sort of shorten my degree, or have two arts majors or something. I don't know.

Criminology looks interesting, the other sociology I am thinking of taking is SOCY344: Criminology and Justice Systems. How long will your degree take you? Five or six years?

Why are you only doing one? Are you doing it part time? I'm doing LS100 and LS101, as well as ENGL101 and SOCY382. Might change my mind Sociology though, I think there is one of delinquency that would suit me better. How much were the textbooks for LS100?

I got my offer from Wright Village, which was my first preference. Apparently all the accommodation offers will be out before the 27th, so you don't have long to wait. I'm heaps excited :)

Your percentage chance of getting into a late round offer is directly decided by the demand of the course. If the course that you want has vacancies and your ATAR is above the cut-off for the main round then I would say you have a reasonably - decent chance of getting an offer. If you're...

I'm sure you mean 12pm, but anyway. The starting time of lectures and tutorials differ depending on the unversity but generally there is always about 10 minutes in between, with them either starting late or finishing early. This is so people can get to back to back classes. I urge you to be...

Your friends will still be your friends regardless of what you do. The last year of life will not be erased or forgotten, you will have learnt many new things and use those skills throughout your life - just because you do not continue with units doesn't mean you wasted a year. You've discovered...

Hey :) B Arts/B Laws and I got an accommodation offer yesterday. I'll probably see you in class!

You can apply for transfer after first semester. Admission will be based on your ATAR. Some courses do not accept mid year entries though.

Hi. I've studied Arts for a year (ANU and O.S) and decided to attend UNE this year in Arts as I pretty much want to live in the smallest place possible that still has a university with decent subjects, which UNE is to me. Anyway, as I've always wanted to do Law I put Arts/Law at UNE as my...
