Sorry, but how does some shit microsoft ad have even the slightest reflection on which is a better uni? If you want to draw a parallel with Microsoft does that mean UNSW never allows you to do what you want, freezes inexplicably when you're in the middle of doing something and forces everyone...

Not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for, but the main Buddhist temple in the Sydney region is the Nan Tien temple close to Wollongong. They run training, retreats etc. Nan Tien Temple, Australia

I've done exchanges in both and you've nailed it - Europe for travelling and culture, USA for the parties. If it's your first exchange I'd go to Europe. You can always do a working holiday or another exchange later to the USA. I spent my 4 months in the States perpetually drunk so probably got...

Wow, I think that's the longest post I've ever seen.... Luckily you make some good points :)

Just go to all the classes and do what they tell you to do. If they say 'read this' then read it. If they say, 'write this down', write it down. If they tell you 'research this' then research it. You'll be right. Don't drop out - stick with it. Maybe join up with one of the mentor groups on...

I'd encourage anyone to think a bit more broadly too - America isn't the be all and end all of overseas study. There are literally dozens of great unis (teaching in English too) across Europe - Uni of Copenhagen, Utrecht, Uni of Oslo....heaps of the oldest and finest...and easier (and a f-load...

No way, you're safe. They receive literally thousands of those stupid green forms, which all get packed neatly into boxes, carried down stairs into a basement somewhere, stacked, and promptly forgotten until the end of time. I really can't see a ticket inspector saying 'Now show me your TFN'...

DNFTT. At least there are some classic replies (and some appauling spelling).

Day - get in, get it done, get home.

I had a very chilled out mentor who was laid back, introduced me to a few people and was good to have around for general questions and stuff. Can't say I'm still in touch with him or that it changed my life, but it was nice to walk into the bar in week 3 and already have a couple of people I...

Good to know that 180K for an UG degree isn't much for some....

Totally up to your advisor but you've got a good case.

Looks like exchange is the way to go for you. Macquarie Students Going Abroad - Macquarie International - Macquarie University I'd look at U North Carolina Charlotte or Greensboro.

You have to work very hard lol!

UWS uses a standardised grading scale meaning there will generally only be a certain % of HDs, Ds, Cs etc allocated for every course. There are plenty of smart students at UWS. Limited no. of high grades to give away + lots of smart students = not that easy to get top marks. Agree with...

That's a clever solution. You wouldn't even have to continue on to completing the Arts component if you didn't want to.

Exchanges in medicine are very few and far between. You might be able to go but the chances of transferring credit back to your Oz degree are close to 0 unless there is a specific agreement set up between the med school and an equivalent in Sth Korea. Best to ask your faculty directly because...

I've done GMN104 - lots of work but good teachers and classes. Felt like I'd actually used my brain a bit by the end :)

bingo. PC sucks. maybe your friend should have thought about studying harder during semester, then he wouldn't be disappointed now.

What a great opportunity. Do it! Missing two weeks of class is peanuts in the grand scheme of life - going to the summer session overseas is worth x10 on your resume! You should: - Talk to the convenors of your sem 2 units. Tell them about the opportunity. It's unlikely they'll try to stand in...
