    Diplomacy

    I would think that there would be a variety of pathways. ANU offers Bachelor of Arts (International Relations) I believe that was 85 UAU two years ago so that might of changes. Maybe an Arts in IR, Political Science or a language. Or a Bachelor of Asian Studies if you planned to go to an Asian...

    Transfer Q's

    Firstly, I was reading up on the Usyd site about mid year transfer and they said limited places were available to the UAI was higher? Is this true and does anyone have a vague idea of the approximate number? Also, my friend is really slack and he got into Arts at ANU from a pre tertiary...

    Confused. a bit. UC to Monash

    Have you double checked that Monash is accepting commerce apps? I wanted to transfer to Arts there but they weren't expecting mid year applications. Glucose - he said his scaled mark for math was mid seventies, only raw score was above. Besides who likes Bunda. Why didn't you do Methods...

    UNI to offer communications/journ?

    My mother went to UTS to do that degreen about 15 or so years ago. I would probably go there for that degree. My friends sister did that course at CSU and she enjoyed and is now living in Amsterdam. I wouldn't have thought it would look great on a CV but I hear its good for the course, but I...

    Underwhelmed

    I go to ANU which I imagine is similar. If you look at the grade requirements what actually constitutes a pass isn't that much. Its like poor understanding of concepts, etc. I was pleasantly surprised with my marks in university because I am a minimal effort person, although you can go too far...

    Time Management Methods?

    What are everyones methods for time management and writing essays, or doing assessment close to the due date? I've always tried to keep a diary but I always lose it or never update it. My two best methods are a white board and library. I have a white board in my room basically solely for...

    How much does the university matter for a BA?

    Hi, I was just wondering, how much does the individual university actually matter when doing a Bachelor of Arts? I'm at ANU and want to transfer elsewhere, and my parents are saying don't do it because ANU is such a great uni blah blah blah. So how much does the uni matter in the long run...

    What is the political orientation of b.arts students?

    I would say about 60 - 40 (Labour to Liberal) in general Arts population in my experience at ANU. Saying that Canberra is a lefty town. I was under the impression (no idea why) that young people, especially uni students, had a tendency to lean to the left, where as the middle aged or elderly...

    New Zealand Unis

    I'm considering seeing if I can transfer to a University in New Zealand. I was just wondering if anyone has done this before, or thought about this? I'm looking at Uni of Otago, Uni of Auckland and Victoria Uni of Wellington. My UAI gets me in and they have the courses that I would like to...

    Exchange To American unis

    For me the big sway would be the money. If you would be studying as an International student in an American university the tuition fees would be horrific. Exchange would allow you to use HECS (or whatever its called now) and pay only the Australian rate. If you were to apply directly, most...

    University Exchange- Edinburgh or Dublin?

    I haven't been to either place but I have been looking at exchanges. Take into account other things that are influenced by location. If you are going to be paying for yourself over there (as opposed to parents or something) you should be looking into housing availability and prices. If you...

    Choosing a Decent Uni for Mid Semester Transfer/NZ?

    Hey all. I'm a current student at the ANU, first year in Bachelor of Arts. I'm not enjoying ANU and Canberra (I grew up here) and just really want to get out. I've decided I like Uni itself, just not really the one I am at so I am looking at possible options. I don't want to go to a bad...

    does this uni suck?

    Bundoora Campus is around 70 - so presume its just the location. Some uni's are like that, with a lower UAI entrance for less desireable locations. In theory UAI should not represent the quality of the course so much as the demand. But I would like to know is La Trobe does suck. I was looking...

    Transfer Q's

    Hi, just a few questions, and I am aware similar ones have been asked throughout this but I thought I would ask my own. I read the pdf on GPA's and their conversions as well. Firstly, are grades converted straight into points regardless of their numerical value? So if one person were to get...

    Looking back on the first week

    I currently park in O'Connor/Turner. They have two and three hour parking, as well as after 11am parking, if you look around. Its about a 10 minute walk to union square which is pretty reasonable, although even there it can be hard to find parking. On Mondays I have five hours back to back...

    Looking back on the first week

    So the first week, and O Week, are both over, so what is everyones thoughts about university and the ANU? For me it is different to what I thought. The lecturers are much nicer and more approachable than I thought they would be, I don't know what I was expecting but I thought they would be...

    Did anyone on here get into ANU with UniTest?

    Going of last years UAI I thought I would get in with my 75.45, but my friend didn't think so and decided to do the Unitest, and I went along as I thought it would be fun (i like standardised tests). Then when they officially raised the UAI I was freaking out but I got a 79 on the UniTest and...

    How many tutorials?

    Hey, I enrolled today, it was kind of exciting. I just had a quick question regarding how tutorials work. I've read on here that you sign up for them after your first lecture. How many of them do you generally do per lecture? I'm doing a BA and on my timetable it has all the tutorials and there...

    Anyone know any share housing avail. inner north?

    Yeah I have contacted a fair few people of that list and they were pretty much gone. Looked through Allhomes and everywhere practically. Thanks for looking though.

    Anyone know any share housing avail. inner north?

    Long shot but I'm pretty desperate to find a room somewhere in the inner north area. Turner to Dickson, maybe even Campbell, I don't want to live out of that area, maybe inner south, but I want to be able to walk, maybe bike ride, to ANU. I thought some ANU student might know of a house with...
