Advice/Info for 2004 HSC students attending UNI next year? What wil it be like, what to expect, what to do...etc.???

 

[j.u.l.i.e]

Oh God No!

 

[doe]

u only do 2 classes of 1 subject per week- 1 tute and 1 lectuer

that depends on the subject/course. most of mine are 4 lectures 1 tute or 3 lectures 1 tute 1 prac. my electronics pracs went for 3 hours straight :<

uni is ok, its nothing like you see in american tv shows though. if you look through the other threads you should get a good idea. dont overdress. get involved in clubs and societies, try out new things.

 

[doe]

oh and nothing beats having beers with your lecturers and hearing the departmental gossip

 

[televators]

uni still sounds wayy better than school...

 

[Phanatical]

Oh, it is.

i think one of the things youll miss about school is how well you know everyone else. at uni u r just one face in a few thousand.

It depends what university, campus and degree you attend. I'm at USYD, but I'm at the Conservatorium campus, so I know most of the people there, and do most of my classes with people I see every day.

it is better than high school. There's more freedom, you don't have to hang around dickheads coz they;'re in your class
You don't have to put up with crappy teachers, just don't turn up
The downside, you've gotta do a lot of work. Much more than high school, but there is none of the stress the HSC involved. Just pressure, which is a good motivator.

There's also the motivation to do well, since failing costs you anywhere between $600 and $1000 on HECS

Lube up, you're about to get fucked.

It's not as easy as school, and you WILL have to work more.

People i know have said uni's a lot less stressful than the hsc.

 

[Bob.J]

I dont see how it is

i guess it really depends on the person and how serious they are.
I had a misconception about the HSC when i did it. You know, OMG what if i don't get a kickass UAI, i'm screwed etc etc

Come to uni, fail an assessment here and there, I was like 'whatever, i dont care', just study harder for the worthwhile assessments. Ie. 80% exam

 

[shannonm]

you people are , again, overrating uni to these poor hsc kids

what they say is correct if they are going for a HD average or something, you can pretty safely to jack all for 80% of the session, and study during stuvac (at about half the intensity you probably did for hsc) and still pass decently

 

[= Jennifer =]

how do we find out what university course we got through the internet and if so where and/or mail?

you talking about offers right

 

[ur_inner_child]

I dont see how it is

I heard that some people do.

Maybe its to do with the whole "im doing the stuff I want" factor.

I'd love every moment of the con.

Unless I have high expectations of it

 

[Sweet_Lemon]

ummm... i heard tat every semester's exam is just like doing the HSC again...ekek...is tat true???
