There's always an alternative path, so chill :) speaking from experience.

yup, so you'll only be full-fee paying if you're international. Exception to the rule is private unis like Notre Dame and Bond; you will pay full-fee there even if you are a domestic student.

My favourite physical book store in all of Sydney. However I rarely buy, I merely browse and write down the details of books I like and go home and buy them online much much cheaper. Have terrible variety/range. Use this every day. I buy 99% of new books from here as they are usually...

Re: how can I know a course is right for me and I will enjoy it? or even 6 months, depending

No. Leave your preferences in the order of most desired to least desired! You might get into combined law, but you'll never know if you don't put it first...

C'mon, pull yourself together: now is the time.

all of the above. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of understanding proofs and basic underlying principals in both understanding and also remembering mathematical concepts. In high school I merely rote-learned as we were never provided with underlying proofs and what not due to time...

When asked for heat of combustion it is assumed that heat is released so write it down as a positive value; if on the other hand the question calls for 'change in enthalpy' then write it as a negative number (as the answer could be positive or negative). It all depends on the question and context.

well it depends how big you want it; the second one is actually quite small compared to the other two (I've looked at buying one myself). If you're happy with any size, I'd go second. But if you want to go larger, go with the first one. The last one is just ugleh.

I finished the 28th...I'm so fcukn bored. I've actually begun studying university physics to try and keep myself from going insane.

Everybody procrastinates, just to varying degrees. At times it is beneficial imo. I procrastinated all year, a bit here and there. BUT because I was consistent with my study, it did not have any drastic consequences. I had the rule to finish assignments by 1 week from the official deadline...

yes, it's the same for everybody, excluding international students and full-fee payers

I did 6 months of TPC at Ultimo this year. It's very big, thus there is greater diversity in the student populous, however that also means that it is difficult to get talking to the teachers like you would at a smaller campus. I say go for it.

I have my good universities guide out, which gives an average figure of about $8050 CSP contribution per year.

Re: Soft drink decarbonation - couple of questions Yes, by opening a bottle of soft drink you decrease the pressure, and so more and more co2 is converted from (aq) to (g) to try and overcome this change. This explains why the gas will escape and the soft drink will become flat, which, as...

Re: Soft drink decarbonation - couple of questions sounds about right. co2 will escape, system will attempt to re-adjust by shifting left however it is no longer a closed system so equilibrium will not be re-established and thus [hydrogen ion] will decrease, subsequently increasing pH.

I chose Wollongong based upon: a) personal recs from students/ex-students b) locality c) green, open campus - so I guess grass is included here

My one and only true form of procrastination:

There's no err about it - if you make a claim based on NO evidence, not only is it NOT up to me to disprove it, but I can dismiss your claim due to lack of evidence.

Provided you pick something you're truly interested in, you'll be fine with engineering; the world will always need engineers.
