with that said, i have a friend who went to UWS and hated it. she wasnt from the west, and stuck out like a sore thumb there. she found it had very little sense of community and the environment was crap.
well your bound to have people who weren't happy there. i mean you can't honestly say that every single student at USYD is happy and enjoy their time there. i'm not saying that UWS is better socially or culturally then any other educational institution i'm just saying don't bash UWS because most people who decided to throw around insults about UWS regard it as some sort of trashy uni which its not.LazyBoy said:with that said, i have a friend who went to UWS and hated it. she wasnt from the west, and stuck out like a sore thumb there. she found it had very little sense of community and the environment was crap.
no. how about YOU shut the fuck up!thebach said:Shut the FUCK UP ESPO UWS IS probably the place for YOU!!!!!!!!!!.
Everyone has the right to voice their opinion. You prob like your student card cos its cheap like you so next time i advice you to keep your mouth shut!!!!!!!!!!!!.
They must be pretty stupid out west if the people still post in threads where they were clearly and specifically asked not toa little lost said:i know u've asked not to comment but i'm this is just something that i have to say. As a former UWS student who has recently transfered to sydney i do find it amazing. For everyone reading this and who feels the urge to bash UWS have any of you ever been to uws? Have any of you experienced the culture at UWS? it has a wonderful environment were everyone is comfortable with each other and people don't go around belitting other educational institutions.
Why do people always feel the urge to bash UWS for when they know absoultely nothing about UWS.
For the record i'm glad i was able to study a yr at UWS because i was able to learn a lot not just academically but to learn about life experiences as well.
Although it does have it draw backs. But then so does every other institution.
Former UWS student and proud of it.
He stuffed up the thread by disagreeing that whether the card is laminated or not matters? If everyone agreed it would have been an excellent thread?thebach said:Yeh Blame It On Espo He Just Stuffed Up The Thread!!!!!!!!!!!!
A lot of things should be better. Like gold plated toilets. And dragons which transport you around campus. Hell for the $500+ I would have expected the cards to be programmed to transform into giant robots with beacons which attract sailors out at sea on Friday nights. But unfortunatelly they're not there. If you have a problem with them join the SRC and get them changed.thebach said:Im not worried about the fucking student card got it poofta. Im just saying it should be better. Got it !!!

I resent this westie profiling. People from the western suburbs are generally far more down-to-earth, compassionate, sensible and all round sane than those from other regions.Not-That-Bright said:thebach seems to be

b) quick tempered
c) arrogant
Sounds to me like the typical 'westie', maybe she/he should come join me at uws.
You are characterising the west at large on the basis of a few problem suburbs. Nobody will dispute that instances of socio-economic disadvantage are more prevalent in some areas of the west, but there is no need to portray the west in general as being the polar opposite of where-ever your 'border' suburb may be.LazyBoy said:1time i totally agree with you, i live right on the border of the west. Its like living in germany looking over to france. The two areas are almost socio-economic opposites, by appaearance, wealth, social values and behaviour. The people dress completely different, act completely differently. The steriotype is there for a reason. Steriotypes are unfair generalities, but they are rooted in truth.
Yes like in every area there are decent people, but in the west and i know this for a fact. Nearlly everyone acts like a dero, with a fridge full of beer and waisting there wage on the pokies. Argue all you want, but the steriotype exists for a reason. It wasnt just pulled out of someones arsehole for fun.
Given that stereotypes are merely social constructions based on a warped sense of reality (or the exception rather than the norm), I guess that I can accept your point of view.LazyBoy said:The mountains btw are mad, they are really nice areas. Its just penrith i know alot of really fucked people, mt druitt and all the way to blacktown. obviously its like ripple effect with the epiccentre in mt druitt. And i am using valid facts, the existance of a steriotype is a fact. When you have a friend who goes to visit this area to pickup someone and gets bashed youll be bitter about the area too.
With all that said im not saying everyone from those areas are fucked in the head. im just talking in a generality. There are always expetions to generalities, which really doesnt need to be stated so i dont bother saying it because it should be a givin.
you meant drive-by!alien said:blacktown does have something awesome though: drive-in!
