    Law at Monash-

    Monash University, Law you would be correct. tbh i think this is a massive loss to the uni. clayton has by far the superior social scene and i prefer the campus feel of it compared to the crampy concrete jungle that is caulfield (no offence, just personal preference lol) and i wonder how...

    is smoking weed bad?

    i watched a documentary about the different drugs/substances in our society, and ranked the drugs from most dangerous to least. They consulted psychologists, pharmacists etc and used other factors such as 'danger to society' as well as 'danger to physical health' etc. It was quite interesting, i...

    Grade Point Average?

    Its putting all of your marks/scores for subjects in a single 'grade' pass - 4 credit - 5 distinc - 6 HD - 7 some uni's have a diff scale. eg, 1-pass 2-credit 3-d 4-hd but they both mean the same thing. It also takes into account the credit points associated with your subject (so a subject...

    Melb vs Monash

    Also, the engineers didnt accommodate enough for the wind that will cause the menzies building to deflect. Apparently, in high wind, the top used to move as much as a couple of meters more than it should. Thats why that smaller building at the carpark side is there, to stabilise it as an after...

    Drinking age to rise to 21 (due to road toll)

    This is an issue because certain members of society deem it to be. If any other government was in power then they would be faced with the same question. Who is to say that if Mr Tony 'moral arbiter' Abbott was posed the same issue, he wouldnt also say the same thing. Vote based on proposed...

    Melb vs Monash

    ahk sorry i thought melbourne made you choose your specialisation in first year but to the op, all of our opinions are made objectively, but it seems your heart is set on melbourne. if you think you would be happier if you got into melbourne there then id suggest going to melbourne

    Melb vs Monash

    Monash>Melbourne for engineering. - 4 year course, no screwing around with the melbourne model - common first year, so you can get a taste of all the eng disciplines. - a more 'project/team based' learning environment, which employers like. - Monash is close to your home.

    Coalition's climate change policy

    The problem with the Liberal scheme IS that it is incentive based. Abbott said himself he's not going to penalise business if they continue with business as usual. Furthermore, it will cost business money to reduce emissions, yet what they get from the government wont be near enough to recover...

    LateRoundOffer to UNSW Law with 98.35.. clerical error?

    is it possible for a uni to revoke an offer? i mean, i just cant see them sending a letter, then later sending a letter saying "oh yeah, our bad, we actually dont want you" the only reason being is that it screws up your opportunity to receive other offers in that round, and because of this...

    Alternative Pathway to medicine - Melbourne University

    This has been covered many times before, but for the interest of procrastination, you have 2 options. 1. You enrol in melbourne doing science. You can then (after getting very good results) attempt to transfer into medicine. You would have to go to an interstate uni as no vic uni's offer...

    He used to be an architect for Roy Grounds & Associates, then went into business himself and designed, then sub-contracted the work, on small residential and business sized projects. Cool fact no.1 about my dad, he was part of the team that designed the melbourne arts centre (that big...

    best and worst live bands

    worst band by far - my chemical romance. dear god they are a piece of shit live. i really cant put into words how utterly disgusting these emo fucks are at performing live (well, making music in general) best - the vines (when Craig Nicholls feels like performing) RATM Radiohead and an...

    Should I repeat year 12?

    Yes. Med is hard enough to get into without the tunnel vision that comes with coveting a certain uni (this happened to me with monash, although different course). Turn your focus from the uni to the course and youll save a lot of heartache if you dont get in (sorry to be the pessimist, just...

    Can universities see your course preferences?

    Actually, its quite smart. Its not a personal issue to do with the student, but the uni can make the judgement that someone with a lower ATAR (but above the cutoff) who has a course at no. 1 is better suited to that course than someone who has a very high ATAR but has it as there no. 5...
