First of all, this is my opinion and I know people will retaliate. People love to argue. But before you fly off the handle, keep in mind this is my first hand, experience and account of a uni that is crape and beyond mending.
To any people contemplating going to newcastle, listen to this advice from me, the awesome wogbo, before you make up your mind.
Basically, I went to Newcastle Uni this year, my first year at uni, and it was terrible. I lasted 6 months, and basically the reason for my failed attempt was that Newcastle Uni lacked any sort of spirit, any soul, or community that I have heard so much about from friends and relatives who have travelled all around Australia to go to other unis. It was sterile and bleak. The only good thing about it was the awesome chips and gravy.
Besides the fact that Newie Uni is in SO SO SO much debt and they're laying off so many staff to save money, but hiring new staff at the same time, the people who run that uni are douches. They are old, out of touch knits.
Unless you live on campus, Newcastle Uni is shite, bollocks. The union is pretty cool, but that'll probly be gone. If you like Gloria Jeans and Subway then Newie's the place for you.
And if you're the kind of person who enjoys paying thousands of dollars, eventually, for printing out your own lecture notes, and listening to lecturers and tutors who belong in a museum, then Newcastle is the place for you! Apply straight away because they'd love to have you and your money!
