    Importance of Physics in Optometry?

HSC Biology would be a big help for the physiology and biology subjects, but like others have said, you'll learn all the basics you need in 1st yr. If you have at least 2...

    Transfer into B. Optometry from B. Science (adv. Sc.) UNSW

SCIF is one of the easiest courses you will ever come across, and it's a good opportunity to...

    UNSW Optometry

    should i still do 4U?

    Do it if you actually like maths. I find 4u a lot different from 3u. 3u bores me, but 4u is actually pretty interesting, so I'm doing better in 4u :S Don't let ur 3u mark put u down.

    Fuckin young love...

    If love is supposed to be a subjective concept, I don't get why people are trying to define it for others. If that's their version of love, then that's their version of love. Sure, it's young and immature, but then everyone goes through that.
