I agree completely with rhi191: I'm also going into second year of the melbourne model, doing Arts. Breadth can be anything you make it, or can be completely useless if you don't bother looking for things that interest you. I tried economics in first semester last year because I though it...

If you have access to free printing (ie. parentals pay for it) and your subject coordinator is kind enough to post lecture slides up online before the lectures, printing them 4 or 6 to a page is a good idea - then you have everything they have written down already, so you can actually...

Not necessarily. If you don't have any special interests for which there is a correpsonding club, there is no point in joining lots of clubs in which you are not interested just because you feel you should. Faculty related clubs are good because you can get advice, deals, free stuff etc that...

Hung over or still drunk is the normal state for most uni students most mornings, at least after first year when they have got over the fact that uni is nothing like high school.

Clubs are awesome and I know from experience that people who find one or two clubs which really work for them in first year have a better time at uni than those who never get involved in anything. Especially if you don't have many friends going to the same uni as you, joining a club is the best...

I'm not an expert in Engineering or engineering courses, but generally speaking a Masters degree is a higher level than bachelor, because you have to complete a bachelor before doing masters. Bachelor degrees are base level, masters is postgraduate. As for the second question, I don't believe...

Just a note on what psychlaw said - I wouldn't decide which one to do based on the opinion that finishing uni sooner will mean you get into a 100k + job sooner, or in the next few years after finishing. Legal practice takes a lot longer to get into, and requires years of being assistants and...

Isn't it pathetic - we got rid of Howard in the hope that Rudd would step up to the plate and deliver on all the 'new agenda' issues which left our old PM behind...but this 5% is hardly more than howard could have been convinced into, and certainly not enough to curtail the dangerous effects of...

Melbourne Uni has good exchange programs/partner programs in a lot of uni's around the world. Again, look at their global mobility website for exchange, study abroad, scholarship/funding options etc: http://www.mobility.unimelb.edu.au/

As a leftie I spend lots of time thinking about pens because they are so irritating. I'm actually in the process of teaching myself to write with my right hand just to make life easier (plus the fun/lols of being ampidexterous). Anyway, at the moment I have latched onto Pilot BP-S Medium pens...

'Exercise gives you endorphins...endorphins make you happy. Happy people just don't shoot their husbands!' The timeless advice of Legally Blonde may just help at this point in time. Do some EXERCISE. That is, if you are not normally a particularly active person. Join a gym/pool/sporting...

It also depends what sort of a career you are looking for. If you a looking for highly paid and constant work, archeology/history probably isn't for you. However, if you are interested in doing some voluntary work, and are really passionate about your area of interest, or are not particularly...

maybe talk to the ex's girlfriend if there is a time when all four of you are together, and ask if she feels that anything inappropriate is going on. From the other side, their friendship might appear to be completely innocent, or maybe the opposite. It could give you an insight into whether...

10 Things I Hate About You Watched it again last night and it confirmed my love. You simply can't beat studying it in yr 7 english, nor the quote: 'I know you can be overwhelmed, and you can be underwhelmed, but can you ever just be whelmed?' 'I think you can in Europe!'

Breath by Tim Winton is probably nothing like what you want, but it might be. There isn't any jail nor much crime - it is about surfing, and pushing the body to the limit: ie. these kids get caught up in the atmosphere (which is very sinister) of the ocean and the feeling of 'riding the big one'...

Plenty: just look in the other forums to see what other people love: - Lord of the Rings for Fantasy - Jane Austen for Romance (Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility etc) - but you have to like a bit of old fashioned reading for this - not shakespeare, but not much action either. - The...

Oh sooo many books fit into this category: - The Outsiders: I borrowed my copy from a friend for yr 10 english and never gave it back! Not a literary standout, but a shatteringly beautiful novel. - The same goes for The Kite Runner - the pages 314 to 319 choke me up every single time: the...

Whilst I agree that The Kite Runner is close to the top (and I even love it after studying it for yr 12 English!!!), I have to say the Lord of the Rings wins hands down. Another favourite is a bit unknown, so I'll mention it in the hope of getting more people to read it - 'The Outsiders' (not...

LORD OF THE RINGS - if you've read it 5 times or more, you can't believe that any other series can even come close. Some way away, but still good: - Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy: they get weirder the more you read! - Tales of the Otori by Lian Hearn - Harry Potter: what can I say, I grew...

I carry a small drinkbottle when I jog (350 ml). It's good because it hardly weighs anything - I just carry it in one hand - and I don't need any more water than that because if you drink huge gulps whenever you need to, you get a stitch - small sips work much better I find and I don't need a...
