physics and law is masochism

 

[tgone]

all the industry professionals I have talked to say unsw is better

and that’s survivorship bias.

prettt much the opposite from my experience but as i said usyd/unsw for undergrad practically the same, i think usyd graduate salary is marginally higher but not by enough to bother about it

 

[tgone]

from an unbiased perspective, unsw is better

me if i had a death wish

usyd superiority RAHHHH

we're talking about the actual uni tho, the palestine posters are from students/solidarity club

i love unsw but wtf are these trimesters... im only doing 2 courses this term since i dropped my history course but i still feel overworked wtf

also did anyone else see the smh article on possibly changing the trimester system?? BRO THAT "unsw history student" WAS MY RECRUITER FOR THE SOCIALIST ALLIANCE WTF

 

[totally_screwed]

um yeah thank you socialists and the palestine action group

but usyd is partnered with companies that supply weapons to Israel and also anti Palestinian expression by students like tearing down posters and calling them rubbish and posting it is okay by usyd standards

you should've seen the liberal stall at o week

 

[totally_screwed]

the pro Palestinian movement on campus is the voice of students not the uni

guys i hate the carslaw building so fricken much i cant describe it why is my lecture threatre room GREEN

What subject do you have Carslaw for?

 

[Anaya R]

Carslaw can be great or horrid depending on what's happening outside. I know of days where it was nasty since there was no AC inside, but you kinda get used to it eventually (I've had at least 1 class every semester in there for the past 5 semesters so maybe I'm biased). Lecture halls are fascinating, because there's entertainment in the desks if you're zoning out.
ABS has nicer whiteboards (try getting a tute there next sem!) and lecture halls, but it's AC'd a bit too efficiently
Education building is cool too, and it's close to Manning as well, but it's pretty popular for those reasons
John Wolley is ok, but the lighting and stairs combined with distance from other facilities is a bit of a downer.
Mereweather is a lot like Carslaw lecture theatres, but with better AC
Nanoscience/Physics Hub is probably the best classroom/lecture theatre, but the only negative is you can't eat in there
Can't go without mentioning the Quad - it's cool for the aesthetic but they should have clearer instructions to get to classes, and reception can be a bit crass in the higher levels. Great for exams tho.
Tl;dr- aim for classes in the newer buildings if you like nicer facilities, but you will live if you can't score any classes there (my negatives aren't complete dealbreakers afaik)

New question: anyone caught the shuttlebus? I never see it and I'm starting to think it's not real
