    The Quad - USyd vs UNSW

    This whole UNSW quad vs Sydney quad is unbelievably stupid. I mean, come ON. To actually propose that the two are comparable? Please! I don't care what you say about UNSW being bigger, it's quality not quantity that counts, and Uni of Sydney has plenty of it. :D El p.s- If you are...

    What to take?

    I have one thing to say regarding metrics: How cool is Tig??? His email addy is pretty funny too- tigi@econ.etc As for making friends, despite meeting a hell of a lot of ppl in lectures, tutes, etc, it's actually quite hard. I mean, you come into the lectures, sit down, chat for a...

    2002 UAI's

    I should have posted this months ago, but I got 98.25. Unexpected, and sure, I was over the moon, but you know what? I really don't give a damn now. I never believed teachers/ex-students who said that the HSC and UAI don't matter after a very short while, but it's so true. I still feel...

    Disadvantaged Student Scheme???

    A few more important things to add: Get as much evidence for your disadvantage as possible, as early as possible It adds conviction to your application. A few of my friends suffered from depression throughout yr 12, but weren't actually diagnosed until about 1-2 months before the end...

    clubs and societies

    There are far too many to choose from! But I think I'll be joining the Indonesian one, for sure.... although I am majoring in govt and international relations, I'm not so sure I want to sign up for any particular political group right away... -A non-committed Elspeth

    What uni you off to?

    Yep, that's what i'm doing....i can still do 3 majors but in 4 yrs. And i don't HAVE to do accounting or Economics, which is good. I was *almost* going to choose UNSW (I shudder to think) because I got a scholarship offer, but then Sydney also offered me a scholarship, so my heart was at ease...

    God, what is WITH you people? DO you all go to James Ruse or something? Estimating UAI's to be over 99???? Sheesh! And selective school students never cease to amuse me: Caringbah Selective High School indeed!

    Scholarships - Notification of success/failure

    I was just wondering if anyone has received any acknowledgement from UNSW of their scholarship application....I haven't, and as D-Day looms, I'm starting to worry they didn't get mine! I have received stuff from Sydney and UTS, so that's okay, but I haven't felt this stressed about everything...

    search for a supermodel

    Every time I see Matthew i want to punch the tv screen in! And I hate criticising (really) but Anna's nose is really annoying. She looks like Vanessa Amorossi. Has anyone else noticed how little attention that Kerry is given, on the show. I think she's gorgeous. But Nicole will win, I...

    would you go to......

    ANU's fantastic. I wanted to do politics there but my mum said "NO!". Here's what I think: UTS: Concrete Pylon, with colourful interiors to try to make up for it. Excalators inside totally disorientating. UNSW: Concrete ugly jungle, with pathetic plots of greenery here and there (to...

    Anyone wanna do Eco @ Syd?

    ME!!!! I'm planning on doing B Eco at Sydney! Haha, I've found someone who is also :) People are like "But why do Eco when you can do Commerce?", and it's like: "well, not because it has the lowest UAI cutoff, but because I actually want to...." People cannot seem to come to grips with it. Go...

    Syd vs. NSW

    God, what is WITH you people? SYDNEY is the best University - how can you think otherwise???? UNSW is a pissy excuse for a "campus"... every time you see a tree it's like "WOW!" The buildings are ugly, the courses have absolutely NO flexibility (To study politics, you have to do ARTS...

    Indonesian

    Indo was one of my best exams.. both Cont's and Extension. Except for the lack of Traveller, (which I included anyway, in the email), it was really good. I found the listening good, and the reading was MUCH easier than last year. Except I can't say i was HAPPY to do the exam... I love Indo so...

    Poll: Section III - Essay or Proper Article

    Damnit, I am kciking myself like you wouldn't believe. I would've clicked the "damn good feature article" (or the words to that effect) box in the poll had it not been for the fact that I forgot a wretched title. Rule number one in writing a feature article: ALWAYS WRITE A HEADING BEFORE YOU...

    is it just me or was the paper smooth to write on?

    I totally agree- CRAP paper for the modules! I was just telling Mum now how it was recycled and stiff and distinctly "bumped" when I chanced upon this post. But as for pens - I find ball point is always best for exams with extended responses ie English, Economics, etc because for me felt tip...
