my feet hurt ; ;

I didnt think there would be so much walking, the map made it look like everything was close together =\

It was a great day though, did anyone go to the nanotechnology lecture? the lecturer was pretty funny.

@zagga: Lol you'll be doing that every day if you are planning to study at UNSW. XD If you're unlucky in first year, you might get one lecture at the top near Med Faculty, or one at the bottom of the campus right after.

$3.20 for a bottle of water? err


once you learn the ropes you'll learn where to get stuff at normal prices. hell unibar is actually pretty damn cheap during happy hour too compared to other places.


oh and there's free water at unibar :D

Please don't come here. I don't need more first years crowding up buses and other parts of uni. Don't come here. I'll eat your babies.

Took me 7. :p

I like UNSW. And I don't know what everyone's problem with the walking is... It's only time consuming.

Last year the trains were off and we had to take buses - it took me 3.5hrs to get there :(

UNSW is a cement city - but it has a highly regarded engineering faculty. Choose a uni that suits your course, also UAI will play a part.

To be fair, it's $5 for a day pass, not each time you use the toilet...

Yes. It's $5 to use the toilets on a daily basis. So you just buy a $5 pass from espot if you feel like using it. Most of us usually just use one of our friends toilets in colleges or just go to maccas.

Just because you walked in and got away with it doesn't mean they don't do regular patrols. You got lucky. They patrol some buildings not as heavily as others. Which toilets did you use and in which building?

CLB ones, Red Centre and the ones across from the Red Centre, toilets in the Arcade near the Matthew's theatre's/med building. I've only seen security twice ever though.

Pfft, i don't believe you, i looked at espot and student services theres nothing about purchasing a toilet pass all it said is that you needed uni id and can be asked by security to present it.

Red Centre they don't patrol that closely. The other two I guess you got pretty lucky.
