    Who is going on the Fellow Traveller's Program?

    Maybe they did, though I filled out the expression of interest that asked how long my commute would be per day.

    Who is going on the Fellow Traveller's Program?

    Commuting from the Central Coast, stated that in the expression of interest. I don't know what a significant commute is if that isnt :/

    Who is going on the Fellow Traveller's Program?

    Yeah I didn't get the email either, I filled in an expression of interest form on info day that included my email and phone number, never heard from them. So I sent an email to them on the 22nd asking what was going on, never heard back from them. The whole program seems rather amateurish...

    How Can I Improve My Standard English Marks?

    As one of the 9% in the state who got a band 5 in Standard English my advice is to find related texts that you enjoy. There is nothing worse than trying to understand a text you hate, so try and find a text that you think you will enjoy and is related to the prescribed text. I did this and it...

    Do You Wear Glasses?

    I wear for Driving (Prescrpition Sunnies), TV and looking at the whiteboard. If I wear my glasses for any other reason I usually wear my prescrption sunnies as then I don't look like a nerd. I hate wearing glasses, I hate the dependence more than the looks but I don't like the look either, even...

    USYD or Macquarie? Have an urgent decision to make!

    Prestige was not the only reason I applied for UNSW, the Social Setting is a hell of a lot better than Ourimbah, which only has 2000 students.

    USYD or Macquarie? Have an urgent decision to make!

    The concept of Prestige shouldn't exist, but It does exist. Sorry for not seeing you Signature, I didn't look to the far right hand corner. A Bachelor of Applied Finance with a LLB is a very specialist degree and I'm sure you will have no problem getting a Job. The difference between unis like...

    USYD or Macquarie? Have an urgent decision to make!

    We are talking about generalist degrees, or at least I am. You can't blame me for wanting to do a BA at UNSW rather than Ourimbah Campus on the Central Coast?

    USYD or Macquarie? Have an urgent decision to make!

    Universities are more prestigious than others for a reason. I chose UNSW over Sydney or MQ because I want to do a second major in either Human Resource Managment or International Business. UNSW is held in higher regard than Sydney or MQ for Business/Commerce. Plus Sydney didn't offer an...

    USYD or Macquarie? Have an urgent decision to make!

    In my opinion if you are going for a non-specialist degree like Arts or Science you are always better off going for the University with higher prestige. I'm doing and always planned on doing a BA and had to consider between MQ, USYD and UNSW, I quickly ruled MQ out for both social, prestige and...

    Is it true that...

    I went to a wealthy private school in regional NSW. While this may be different to Uni I can say I experienced both snobbery and reverse snobbery. The reverse snobbery I and others at my school complained of experiencing was based on our school being the only wealthy private school in the area...

    Potentially stupid question from New uni student

    If Macquarie is anything like UNSW you would need to do a bit more than simply press the accept button. At UNSW you had to get a student number and password, state your method of payment of fees along with other personal needs and so forth. On another point, it would be wise to enrol into your...

    Timetable - Help me choose.

    It all comes down to you and your personal choice, you know whether your body/mind can handle evening lectures or not over another day at uni. That been said though, having 5 continuous hours of lectures/tuts on the wednesday morning in that second timetable sounds pretty hectic.
