    Abandoned Uni

    Hi all, Long story short I abandoned Uni a couple of years ago, I just moved away and did not bother to unenrol. I was excluded from the program due to getting 0 for all the courses during the semester I abandoned (did none of the work), which was the second semester I'd failed more than 50%...

    International Business, is it really useful or not?

    The IB courses I've done have been interesting and I can see the usefulness in them. They teach you about the different business cultures and philosophies. That said, I'm not sure how skilled you come out as in terms of getting a job in business...obviously you get the language. I've only done...

    Best university for economics in Aust???

    In terms of undergrad, you can get 1 on 1 time with honors/phd students if you have any economic q's at ANU and this is in addition to lectures/tuts. So I'd say in terms of undergrad teaching it's very good too.

    Economics in HSC & Uni

    Doing HSC economics before Uni will just mean it's easier for you to pass the first year economics courses. You're definitely not guarenteed anything though as the Uni courses are more worried about you applying the economic concepts than memorizing them like in high school. So it's a slight...

    Grand Theft Auto IV.

    Importing the US version wont affect the multiplayer in any way will it? i.e they aren't matching people up by region by what version of the game you bought?

    UAI Cut-Offs: 75 up to 85

    It's just the way Australia is, there's no huge benefit or culture in terms of moving away from Uni. In the future as Uni's develop more there probably will be. At the end of the day the uai cutoff doesn't matter a whole lot. If you tried your hardest and got 75 uai, you're probably going to do...

    Is Law/Actuary Studies degree really hard?

    Everyone I know who enrolled in actuarial/law transferred out of it after a semester. They got through it but found they would rather just prefer one or the other, and transferred into combine programs were the degrees actually complimented each other. So if you do come to Canberra, keep in mind...

    yeah what vagabond said... since the price of gold only tripled after he made the bracelets, the increase in price didn't affect the cost price of the bracelets.
