I had the exact same issue, at one point the academic "advisors" were telling me about the wrong subjects to enrol in. The worst part was that everyone had this general sense of urgency yet i felt like it was taking forever. At data entry there weren't even people calling you in, you just had to...

I was enrolling in a combined engineering/science degree. What i had the biggest problem with was undefined queues (at the start people were just floating around everywhere) and the fact it took me 2 hours to enrol yet i still have to take further steps to finalise my enrolment afterwards. There...

lol well that sucks :L i'll probably learn to live with it

If you went in today how did you find the process? Personally i found it unnecessarily long and unorganised :\ sure hope that doesn't reflect the years to come because i was expecting uni to be all sunshine and rainbows

can anyone give me some advice as to whether i should take ENGG1801 (engineering computing) or INFO1103 (introduction to programming). I'm pretty interested in computing but since i'm planning on doing a physics major i may not be able to take many computing classes in the science/engineering...

B Eng/ B Sci at usyd. Super anticlimactic since i can't enrol till the 21st..

definitely agree with the above. At the end of the day there's only a handful of question types they can throw at you come HSC, the more you've seen the better prepared you'll be. Very similar to how you'd go about mathematics prep. Other than that, when you get something wrong you should...

Year 9 was easily the best year of high school minus the whole puberty thing

thanks for you help, i'll try get my hands on one and steam-roll through it before uni starts :)

damn, sounds like i should probably put some pre-uni work into it then. can you recommend a good 4 unit book?

Was just curious how much more difficult i would find first year maths walking in with 3 unit as opposed to 4 unit. Thinking about doing some reading etc during february to warm up but if it's unnecessary then i'll go back to being super lazy. Thanks in advance

Re: PAST HSC'ERS: What advice would give to parents who kids are starting Prelim & HS parents should be more of a support system that the student goes to when needed, they shouldn't play an active role in HSC year. My parents were very supportive and simply let me do my own thing. However...

doesn't sound like you have a genuine other interest worth extending your degree 2 years for. I'd stick to a single commerce degree and flesh out those skills with all the electives rather than spreading yourself thin with another degree you're not 100% passionate about

how am i supposed to enjoy going to uni if i know my 40 minute train ride leads to a sausage fest?

Try and hand in your application to the person who does the actual hiring. Some people will say it's superstitious but at the end of the day if that person can attach a face to your resume out of the 100's that flood their desk then (at least i believe) you're more likely to advance through the...

I took medical physics and found it very simple (you could honestly go through the entire module in about a month) The option topics are really different to the core modules though, despite looking into some more modern applications of physics and "learning" modern physical theories it really...

I don't find it racist. If anything it's anti australian to criticise another viewpoint like the one on that t-shirt since Australia is supposed to welcome everyone and their beliefs

So all this university talk about "self-directed study" and "independence" has got me thinking. At what point does independence just become an excuse for lazy teachers to not teach, or to what extent does the onus of learning fall on the student. Personally i'm all for independence since my...

i had a good creative in year 11 and used the same one in every exam from year 11 trials through to hsc so i got lucky there. Also used the same belonging essay from year 11 (term 4) all the way through to year 12. I memorised module C for the half yearly exam and Module A for the trial exam...

If you're not sure where you want to end up post hsc and those subjects interest you then the choices are fine and adding the 1 unit photography would be a good idea. However I will say that as you mature and discover more about yourself during year 11 and 12 you'll find that the mix between...
