Is UNSW a more Asian place??

 

[shannonm]

than what?!

 

[Sonic]

good point... NOT more than you'd expect anywhere else

 

[Lundy]

If you're allergic to asians, don't come to unsw.

 

[FroZenWaffleS]

Let's just say that an Anglo Saxon decided to go to UNSW, would he feel out of place then if he were to go to USYD???

 

[shannonm]

depends what degree but,
compared to usyd, no not really. usyd (and uts) also have alot of asian students, especially in comm/biz
new south probably has a bit higher proportion but if you look at it relative to usyd (they are both quite high) then its basicly little difference

dont worry you will get used to it

UNSW certainly does have one of the most highest rates of international students from Asia. You'd probably find more aussies in courses like engineering, but I'd say there's more asians in UNSW than most other unis in Sydney.

 

[phrred]

theres only a lot in comm and law

 

[Eagles]

Yes, we own the place.

But we wont make you feel unwelcomed if you come... this IS Australia.

You know not all asians have pure asian friend groups. I myself like to socialise with you whities

 

[Lundy]

When I'm walking around campus I feel like I've just landed in little Tokyo or something. But all my classes are like 90% anglo.

So yeah, depends what you study.

 

[Not-That-Bright]

When I went to open day the only white people were all doing B Design or Arts, and they were emo like lundy.

 

[BillyMak]

I was the only non-asian in one of my finance tutes, out of 18 people.

 

[Epitome of Lazy]

The only thing that's annoying about the sheer number of asians is that so many of them hardly speak english, hence making the place feel a bit more outlandish...
I got nothing against asians, just wish i knew what the hell they're on about lol

 

[Lundy]

I'm not emo.

Many of the asians at unsw were born here. Or have at least lived here for a long time. So I consider them to be just as aussie as I am.

It's the international students who walk around in their large groups babbling away obnoxiously in their own languages who I have low tolerance for. A lot of these people who are living and studying in our country can barely speak a word of english and don't seem to make much attempt to fraternise outside their little microcosm.

 

[§eraphim]

Yeah, avoid international students like the plague (especially when it comes to groupwork). A lot of them are just rich idiots.

 

[bubu]

workgroups... dont get me started, if i have to work with a person i no who was an international student and she got a tutor to do her work... wat a bitch... and it wasnt even 90+... i mean at 100 an hour you'd expect 90+

im azn and i wouldnt even work with them unless it was a secured 95+ and i didnt need to do anywork... hehe...

but otherwise azns that are born here are all good....

if u want to avoid international rich azns my advice is dont do accountin

 

[MAICHI]

I think majority of them are alright, but yes, they are not very helpful when it comes to groupwork. A bit hard to practice "team work" when your team members don't really care and use the "my english is not good" excuse.

dz, what do you mean by "she got a tutor to do her work..."? Where can I find a tutor that does this type of things?

Dude I recall being the only honkie (a person who was born and raised in a city called Hong Kong which is part of China) in my primary school. The only time that you will feel out of place is if you don't understand their language.

You understand English I presume, so no you will not feel out of place.

On the other hand, I wish there are more nice + caring + single girls in UNSW so I can hook myself with them at least for ONE lunch.
