    Residential Colleges...

    Second that. Plus, they remind you how lucky you are to be here because most of them came to college because last year they had a huge commute and stuff

    Studying while living in a College

    Nah, I'm not co-ed, I'm at Women's College. But we do so much with Paul's that it doesn't really seem like an all-girls college. :)

    Canadian looking to live on campus

    Yeah, that's not old at all. At college o-week i met a few freshers who were actually postgrad and around 25 too. It's not a problem at all and as long as you're willing to participate in the activities etc it's all good!

    Studying while living in a College

    I've started at college at usyd this year... let me just say it is awesome and a lot of fun, there is always someone to talk to or something to do!! BUT if you need some time off or anything, it's easy as to have a night in or just go to your room and study. And most colleges have libraries...

    The Ship has sailed, my friends!

    I'll be your friend!! Hahaha :uhhuh: Seriously, don't stress about it. But if you are outside and see someone alone, trust me - they want someone to come talk to them. Everyone's in the same boat, and you get used to starting up conversations eventually. They may not end up as your close...

    Economic Activity?

    I would put some examples in, but nothing too major. For example, I'm doing tourism, so if I were to talk about the social impacts of tourism I would mention the commercialisation and degradation of cultures, such as the shortening of the hula for the enjoyment of tourists. Hope this helps :)

    Personalities....

    I did Leni Riefenstahl - the question was a complete gift!! Rambled a bit much in part a and wrote waaaay too much for it but oh well, I got it all down.. And then part b - I thought it fit really well for Leni, but I can see now I'm one of the lucky ones - I guess they can't exactly have a...

    Language and Gender

    I thought it was quite a good essay question - I had my fingers crossed identity would come into it so that was nice to see :) I used Orlando and Twelfth Night as my prescribed. But the creative... I wasn't really prepared for it in the first place so I couldn't really hope for much! But I...

    The Board Of Studies Is A Joke

    The BOS is a joke?? I think the real joke is that people don't even think about their responses, and only feel comfortable spewing prepared responses all over the page. As soon as a question comes along that requires thinking... ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE. It's ridiculous.
