I'm going to preface this by saying that I'm not 100% sure for arts education but for a normal arts degree you just can't do more than 12 units from one subject area in first year (i.e. if you're doing english again in second semester then no you can't do two in first semester) good idea...

first of all you will have to do more than just chinese to meet your arts requirements. 2nd of all, if you want to learn the chinese language you have to learn about chinese culture. Mainly because learning about a language is useless without the cultural knowledge to understand how that...

usyd is shite for undergrad. if you want a good undergrad program just for political science then go to ANU. but if you want a good range of related subjects like international security, development, political economy, come to UNSW. There are some great lecturers, heaps of intelligent students...

A mysterious anglo gal from Group A... we're all scared of you group B people! You seem to know so much!

my friend who is currently on msn tells me that you don't need to study. She did French last year and says that it involved a short written comprehension and some listening which only took about 20-30 mins. She claims that she understood very little and still got put into 3rd year. I dont know...
