    fucking timetables

    1) I tend to go off what the Co-op Bookshop have under their searches as I've found that some UoS don't list their texts in the handbooks. Not sure if this is laziness by the course coordinator but I often go to Co-Op for a definitive list. Despite this, don't rely on it too much. They may list...

    When are we suppose to buy textbooks?

    Just a reminder, university book stores are ALWAYS packed in the first week. If you have money to burn and can't bothered to wait in line when the time comes, buy textbooks online. I have two textbooks prescribed for Semester 1 and I bought them off Book Depository instead of the Co-Op Bookshop...

    textbooks and HECS HELP for summer/winter school?

    Best time to buy textbooks is after your first few lectures. Sometimes UoS co-ordinators put up a certain textbook on the reading list which never gets used. Often the lecturer clarifies if the textbook is necessary for your UoS in the first lecture. Obviously if you want to get a head start to...

    Tax File Number?

    You are able to leave the TFN box blank until the census date. Essentially, fill in the form and hand it in but tell them that you don't have your TFN. They'll greenlight you but you MUST give them the TFN by the census date. I was in a similar situation and just ended up emailing my TFN to the...

    Having second thoughts.

    Do you have any particular personal interests in a certain field (doesn't have to be related to law or science; can be anything)?

    Sydney uni question about enrolling

    Orientation Week

    You don't have to go to O-Week, but it is advisable if you want to become familiar with campus before the first week. O-Week is often a good opportunity to find where your lectures and tutorials will be instead of rushing around in your first week. Also, if you are interested in joining any...

    Why is ANU so much easier to get into then sydney uni??

    Generally these world rankings are heavily based on output of research in academic journals, not necessarily the strength of its undergraduate degrees.

    The uniqueness "factor"

    I have around 20 people doing my degree. Not something to worry about that much. Generally it means lecturers and tutors have more time for any questions.

    Accepting offers @ USYD

    To memory, all I recall was just needing to turn up at enrolment. I don't remember requiring to contact the university beforehand.

    Architecture - do I know enough maths?

    I would try looking over the past 2 unit Maths papers to see if you are familiar with the content. If you feel that you are comfortable with the content from that course, then I suppose the content in the junior units will be fine. If you aren't confident, then I suppose a bridging course would...

    HELP HELP HELP Plz

    It seems you failed to understand the concept of preferences. Poor decision on your part. All you can do is put the courses you ACTUALLY want to do in proper chronological order and wait for the February offers.
