Re: The Official Football Thread I'll admit that with Torres & Babel out for Carroll and Suarez in, you guys basically broke even. Think about it though. The prior season Carroll did well enough in the Championship but he didn't win the Golden Boot. Once we were promoted, he scored 11 goals in...

Re: The Official Football Thread Liverpool spending 35m was the best thing which ever happened to us. Good on you Dalglish.

Longest I had was in Semester 2 1st year with a block from 11am to 5pm with a 9am start. If you're someone who gets hungry easily, i wouldn't recommend having a huge block within the typical lunch times. Similarly, if you find you have difficulty concentrating for long periods, don't opt for...

I was waiting for a Skyrim thread to pop up before I posted this.

I think I've told this story on BoS before but it can't hurt to tell it again. During my Integral Calculus & Modelling lectures last year, there were these two guys who brought along their laptop and played Mario Kart 64 with an emulator every Friday. They even mapped wireless PS3 controllers...

From what I've seen over the past two years, paper is the preferred choice. This is of course depending on what units you choose to do in uni. If you do very "wordy" units, laptops may suffice but of course that is provided you can concentrates. If you do based around science, engineering and...

Not sure about how much I can add to this thread, but I know one of the tutors for the Korean major personally. I asked her about the Korean course at UNSW a few months ago and she said that you get a wide variety of students doing the units. People like myself who are part Korean, those...

Generally if you miss the cut-off for something like law during the main round, the chances that you will get an offer in the succeeding rounds are quite slim. Regardless, if you miss out on your first choice during the main round, keep it there for the duration. Essentially, if the highest...

If you can pin the poor result down to insufficient study practices, then there is no reason to drop it. Remember that 50% of your HSC marks and ATAR are ultimately derived from the final exam. So you may have screwed up 7.5% out of the 100%, but look at the big picture, it is just a drop in the...

I think this thread may worthy of a bump considering that many students have finished their HSC by now. With the spare time, it is good to get something like this out of the way.

Re: UAC Offers 2011 - Downloadable The UAC Offers for 2012 haven't been released for obvious reasons.

I just had a look at the MATH units which are required for the engineering degrees at USYD and they seem to be the same ones I did in my first year so I can speak from experience. Those units cover an array of topics similar to Extension 2 Maths so if you do choose go down that path, you should...

I wouldn't advise deviating from your current daily eating habits as this isn't the time for mixing things up. If you find yourself not hungry in the morning, don't fill yourself up too much. Eat something light like a piece of fruit or a couple of pieces of toast.

Worth a mention that seat allocations and exam locations have also been released. Not sure how long it has been so, but I only noticed yesterday.

Might be worth a mention, that the university has released the final exam timetable. http://web.timetable.usyd.edu.au/examTimetable/exams/examTimetable.jsp

Besides, you have 5 months till March comes around anyway. Just relax and ask one of your teachers when you are back at school.

For students, an annual subscription (covering 51 weeks) comes up to $275 which is a 50% saving off cover price.

I subscribed to the Economist back in Year 12 and I continue to do so. For a school student though, I honestly don't think much of the content would be relevant as the news magazine also has a strong focus on politics so you would have to weed out a lot of things to get content related to...

It would be nice to see some new upcoming students revive the current Business Studies and Economics sub-forums. Ever since the long down-time last year, they've begun to stagnate. I will look forward to helping some of you guys in both subjects.
