    Is the University of Western Sydney really as bad as people make it out to be?

    RE Quality of UWS for Combined Law 1. A university degree is what you make of it. I missed out on a spot at Usyd Combined law by two points and I was shattered because in my ignorance I believed it to be the ONLY uni worth attending. Shocking as it may be I am now actually pleased to have...

Assuming the UAI is just under the requisite 97 and the university results for the first year of combined law are above D average. I guess what i'm asking in...

    Lonely...........worth it?

    I'm inclined to agree it's not worth just going places. if you want to make friends you need to make the effort. at gym start a conversation with someone who seems nice (you already have one thing in common which is always a good thing). try talking to people -that's the best way to make friends...

    DISAPOINTING you teachers.

    i'm inclined to agree entirely with you guys, except i feel like i failed pretty much all of the exams. i can recall feeling elated after the exams were over (i guess simply because they were over) but once the euphoria fades the pressure escalates and the butterflies reemerge. the worst thing...

    Question 14 - WTF?!

    According to my teacher (although we argued in regards to this question considerably) the fact that the executive can implement decisions independent of the judiciary and consequently with varied results is a demonstration of separation of powers rather than its violation. therefore the answer...

The argument of creation in my mind remains an eternally powerful one - if you justify the creation of the world by a single, arbitrary and systematic event such as the Big Bang (which in itself may or may...

    Latin Motto's?

    - nullius in verba (on the words of noone - i.e. the views of others do not define me, therefore rely on words of noone) - cogito ergo sum (lol - i think therefore i am - self explanatory - knowledge and thought define existence) :)

    Soviet union question

    anything in particular that concerns you in regards to the question? i thought it was quite broad considering the time span. I think different people in my school approached it in variations. I talked about everything from conflicts in Bolshevik seizure of power, the civil war, kronstadt...

As mentioned previously it encompasses anything from asylum seekers as a domestic human rights issue to guantanamo bay, human trafficking and sudan as an international human rights issue.

    ENGLISH! (All courses welcome =D)

    I thought yr.11 would move along much faster than it is at the moment. We're doing Frank for ext now and although i'll have to disagree about the language, i like the descriptive nature of the book, i have to say it becomes a bit too much by the end of the novel. Does anyone have...
