Thanks Huratio.

Its good to be back.

It was good to be back today and just walking around the campus for a bit.

Felt sorry for the people who couldnt find where things were because it was like their first day.

PS: I avoided Gloria Jeans on the way to uni today. I went into Market City which is just as bad. Where do you recommend buying a coffee from on the way to uni and around the Haymarket campus?
Hmm.. I go to five different places for coffee when I go to uni. In order of preference:

1) Lavazza @ Central Station: When you exit Central Station using the tunnel way (Devonshire St Tunnel), it is on your left. It is a gourmet sandwich shop and you won't miss it, because in the morning there are like around 10-20 people waiting for coffee outside it. It is well worth the wait though, because it is the best coffee (in my opinion) in the UTS area.

2) Boost on Broadway: I've rated this highly because it has the least wait for coffee. If your late for class and you want to grab a quick coffee, this is the place to get it. I've never waited over 5 minutes for a coffee at Boost. The quality of the coffee on the other hand, would not be the best though. The guy uses way too much milk and not enough coffee itself.

3) Art of Food Cafe (Building 5 Cafe): Pretty much the only place you can get coffee near Building 5. I wouldn't waste your energy going to Gloria Jeans @ Market City when UTS has its own cafe. The coffee is pretty decent too. If you like sugar with your coffee, don't ask the lady to mix it in (because she can't stir for shit). You might as well stir it yourself.

4) Building One Cafe: The one that you enter and have to walk down the stairs for (level 3). If I have an exam in Building One, I normally grab a coffee there and sit on the lounges on that level for a quick cram. There are always seats to sit and enjoy your coffee.

5) Harris St Cafe: I only go to this cafe if I have like a 2hr lecture at the university hall and I am in need of coffee (like one during the break in between). Not the best of coffees though, and the size of the 'large' coffee isn't what I would consider as large (more of a medium, in between large and regular).

just regarding the coffee query, i've found that by far the best coffee in the UTS area is 'My Cuppa' just down harris street from broadway (towards the building 4).

Stopped posting as much because I got denied a mod spot, so figured after 5 years there wasn't much point hanging around. Knowing me I'll probably get bored when semester comes back in, though.
I'm going to PM you.

Yeah, that is what I'm referring to with my 5th listing (Harris St Cafe).

Lol.. I only put it at the bottom due to the value for money for your coffee. The cups are not that big compared to the ones you get at the same price.

Is there a time frame on when you have to chose your majors by? Or can you pick them at anytime just before you're due to begin them?

Pick them anytime- obviously the earlier you do, the better class times you get.


Congrads to Malfoy for posting #4,000 on this thread.

Any of you guys ever overloaded CP's via e-request? I'm thinking maybe picking up more subjects. What is a good reasonn to justify such a request? LOL, to finish faster?

You can always do summer if you want to fasttrack your degree..

I would think 5 subjects would be unimaginable taking into account part time work/leisure time too.

I did 5 subjects in two semesters. You don't need reason as long as you have good acedamic results.

Are you still going to be doing the Accounting major?

There are a couple of accounting major subjects that are generally available in summer.
