I'm with you on most of that, Lentern, but useless policy is still useless policy. Even if mission-creep isn't a concern, we should be opposing this on grounds that it's a waste of our taxes.

That building is major architectural fail. The pretty colours and kooky angles disguise the fact that its design makes poor use of space and encourages crowd bottlenecks. And wtf is up with that "oh look, we've got some money left in the budget - let's wipe our arses with it" escalator? -.- +1

It's exactly like the Sims. :uhhuh: Seriously though, it's about study-work balance. If you're doing well with school and think that you can take on a part-time workload, then by all means go for it. Getting some CV-buffing work experience will generally serve you well. Your options are...

Commerce degrees tend to be more broad than economics. Think of econ as commerce with a more specialist focus - while you can usually still take a second major in accounting, finance, marketing, etc, you'll need to focus on some aspect of economic analysis. Topics that you study will include...

If Jake Gyllenhaal is keeping his shirt on, I'm not interested. Oh wait.

Turnbull needs to quit dicking around and pull a Brutus already. I mean, these are our current options? Bucket of dead fish > Ruddkip > Jug-ears. Well, there's Bob Brown. But sadly, I don't think he knows how to fling about the phrase "working families" as effectively as the major-party pollies...

Research suggests that women are more sexually complex. Also, there's that old factoid about female sex drives peaking later in life - partly because testosterone levels start dropping at a faster rate in guys. *pushes glasses up* :read:

Jeebus, there are people on here who're thicker than Conroy... This thread was like a magnificent train wreck... Can't. Look. Away. lol SnowFox, JKhoury, I think your work here's done. Take a break before you pop a vein and relax in the knowledge that most people instinctively get it. :)

Yes, yes - but this is by comparative uni standards. Fair enough. CSE, Blue Stone, Quad - in that order. Coffee cart is over-rated - friendly enough service but the coffee tastes like water. Vivlio has snotty staff and we don't even speak of JG's...

Amen. Everything from the Viet places ftw, really - chicken/pork rolls, Viet spring rolls, pho... And with two branches (Matthews and Roundhouse), you can't go wrong. :) The ASB Lv1 route to the bottom floor of the quad = awesome. You can get all the way from ASB to Matthews while remaining...

You, sir, are amazing. :rofl: I bow in reverence.

A few recent courses I've done, off the top of my head... ECON2107: Labour, Income and Growth in the Global Economy Teaching: Lisa Magnani was one awesome, awesome lecturer. She knew her stuff (which, in a perfect world, wouldn't even be a bonus when discussing uni lecturers) and provided a...

It makes sense - ink costs far more than paper. That said, printing duplex doesn't hurt - less to carry around and better for the environment. :)

Dilan, if you're still considering this course and your interests are in tourism and hospitality, then I would strongly recommend it. I'm in my (technical) final year (having fudged a couple of courses -.-), and while certain courses have been a bit fluffy, it's been a good experience overall...
