    When is the last day to drop courses?

    I'm really confused on when the census date is to drop courses without financial penalties. I've read the dates and things, but I'm not sure which ones apply to me. Is it the "Semester 2, 2017 - Payment due (T2 and T2A)"/"Semester 2, 2017 - Census date (M2A)" - July 30th, or is it the stuff on...

    B Science(adv math)(hon) vs B Science with a math major?

    I'm doing commerce/science(adv math)(hon) this year at UNSW and am planning to do a statistics major.

    I'm not a comp sci student. I'm doing com/adv math and am a first year and I enrolled in COMP1511(formerly comp1917). I've heard this is a really hard course. How difficult is it to do well in the subject(75+)? How did you/other people find it? I have some basic programming knowledge, but...

    Problem with swapping tutorial times, help please

    So I'm doing commerce/Advanced math, and I have to take Math1141, which I have already enrolled in.

    Is there a course which you select to do it or do you pick it up later? I remember talking with the science staff at the usyd open day earlier in January, and they explained it but I've completely forgot how it works.

    I got an atar of 99.10 and dux. I chose Usyd science/arts as my first preference, which I already got an offer for.

    Doing law if you're not sure about it?

    I can get into USYD law. If I'm not sure about doing law would it be a bad option to choose it? I didn't do legal studies. The most I know about law is watching 6 seasons of suits. I don't really know what I want to do after university. If I do law I'd probably combine it with either commerce...

    UNSW commerce/advanced math(honours) vs USYD advanced math/arts

    I'm having trouble deciding on which degree to choose. The usyd degree allows you to choose non-math science electives, which would be more interesting, I'd also major in financial maths and stats(science major), and economics(arts major). I also wouldn't have to take compulsory commerce...
