Well i thought i would start a thread for new people next year with people knowing the result of their conditional offers as well as guaranteed offers!

I have decided (at this stage) I'm going to study Bachelor of Communication and Media Studies/Bachelor of Commerce, and will hopefully be staying at Campus East.

Anyone else?

 

[Von-Dyke]

I'll be studying Medical and Radiation Physics (Guaranteed, Advanced if i get the atar which looks good at this point), and i've accepted residency at Weerona

I too am planning to study Bachelor of Communication and Media Studies/Bachelor of Commerce.

I only live about half an hour south of Wollongong campus though, so I'm just going to commute each day for the first year, and hopefully live on campus in 2011.

 

[spazamataz]

Is anyone else coming from heaps far away?
One of my friends was coming as well but now they aren't so i'm a loaner lol

 

[Von-Dyke]

I'm coming from bathurst/orange area

Half of this university seems to be from Bathurst/Orange and the other half is from Canberra...
In my group of uni friends, I'm the only person from the Illawarra, everyone else is from Canberra except my boyfriend who is from Bathurst/Orange. What is this!?

Hello, I got guaranteed entry to Nuclear Science and Technology in the engineering faculty as well as an offer to Weerona. I live just 1 hour south of UOW. Hope to see you all there next year.

It looks like I'll be attending the Bachelor of Creative Arts, Deans Scholar. I live in Sydney but depending on my timetable I will most likely move down there (during weekdays at least). Congrats all

Expect your timetable to be hectic. You'll probably have around 30 contact hours a week. Compare that to something like Commerce, which has around 16 hours per week, and you see what I mean.

 

[Nightsarah]

Sheesh. Thanks for the heads up (yet again )
Do you know anything else about the Dean's Scholar program?
Are the people nice in it? How does it work?

And what did you mean by "contact"? Does that mean there'd be extra?

 

[Absolutezero]

I don't really know too much about it. We've got two people in my year who are doing it, and they seem to be enjoying it. That's all I've really got to go by though.

And what did you mean by "contact"? Does that mean there'd be extra?

Contact hours are basically the hours that you have classes on. In Creative Arts, you are expected to attend them all. Hence, 30 hours or so of classes.
Compare to commerce, which has around 16 contact hours, and even then, lectures aren't compulsory. In performance, you have 1 real lecture, and you really don't want to be missing it.

Extra hours beyond this are more common just before the shows open. However, during most of the semester, your classes are really all that you have to attend. Besides the parties which are always going on. Make an effort to go to them

this, and I will point out that there is no "and" in the title

I tried to give some intelligent sounding answers to that question http://community.boredofstudies.org...gong/226016/deans-scholars-creative-arts.html here, which is an approximation because I'm in the Arts DS, not Creative Arts.

Alternatively, you'll probably meet a few CA DS' during Orientation, cause I know Arts likes to drag us out for anything relatively official-sounding to do with new students.

And I'm sure they'll be nice. Most CA people I know are

Lies! Lies and slander!!!!

there is an 'and' in it, or at least the letter i've got has it with an and.
Glad to see someone else studying the course tho, see you there!

Oh yes I had already taken a look at that - thanks for sharing
How do the subjects work with being a Deans Scholar? Do you have to meet up with them in person to choose your subjects before starting? Do you have any special classes or anything as a group?
Anything else you can tell me that is different from the normal degree?

 

[Absolutezero]

How do the subjects work with being a Deans Scholar?

Partial Answer:
You will have to do 3 subjects from Performance. That is mandatory to continue through the course. The fourth subject will be creative writing.
