That's true LeftrightOut... sometimes my parents have had to work all night but because we haven't been busy they have to pay the staff, and then there is no money to pay themselves really. Being on a hourly rate means you get paid no matter how quiet it is, it's different for the owner.

I should be able to find somewhere to lock my luggage and laptop away securely for the day at the airport shouldn't I?

I should be able to just use my ATM card to withdraw money from an ATM when I am there shouldn't I? Also, does 1 aussie dollars = approx 5 HK dollars sound about right?

I have to stop over at Hong Kong on my way to London. I get there at 6.30am on the 3rd of Jan, and I leave at 1am on the 4th. What should I do in my few short hours in Hong Kong? Anyone got any suggestions for the time and budget strapped traveller that wants to get a taste of this city...

i would say the chances are slim. Are they subjects offered in spring and autumn, maybe u could change which semesters u do them in

You just need to approach it with a positive attitude. For me it was pretty intimidating, I was from the country as well, knew not a single person in Sydney, and nobody in my family had ever lived anywhere but Albury. But just be friendly, chat with people at uni etc. It took a bit of time...

In print features you learn how to write features, you don't have to be able to write them when you walk in the door, so if you like writing and print journalism it is probably a good path to take. The thing is, these subjects teach you how to do things. In J2 you just brush over everything-...

Put down about any work experience you have done and any freelance/volunteer writing or journalism you have done. What exactly does it ask you to say in the statement? And yes I would probably avoid the "since a child" doozy. Some of the qualities that I know the faculty value are...

Hehe when I come back from exchange, I'm only going to have two days of class a week again! Hehehe yay. Except it does mean sitting through 6 hours straight of classes on a Monday....

Yeah you should check all that out. A friend at uni transfered from straight law to journalism and she got credit for some units she had already completed for electives so it didn't take her any longer to finish her degree than if she had been in journalism all along.

I think I will be doing political theory in second semester when I get back from London. Along with investigative j and radio j 2. I've heard a lot of good things about political theory.

Online journalism is terrible if you actually have a reasonable idea of how to use a computer. I really liked Radio Journalism.... Print Features was also quite good. Some of my friends did Editing and Publishing and some hated it others thought it was ok. Apparently TV is alright if...

I think that the UTS course would be more vocationally based compared to those subjects at UNSW, that is the case with most of our communications degrees. So you would probably learn the content and information at UNSW but at UTS you would focus more on how to apply the knowledge to life/a job...

The person above summarized pretty well... maybe go to USyd/UNSW and do B Arts and transfer or do something like social inquiry or whatever and try and transfer. But the only reason the UAI for journalism dropped last year was because they added heaps of extra places because demand for the...

As an online journalism student who was lucky enough to have an interesting speaker from fairfax digital in her class earlier this year, I can understand why they have made the changes.... particularly when you look at which stories get the most traffic etc, so now heaps of the entertainment...

Yeah when I used to start work at 5.30am it sucked.... a lot. I much prefered working from 10pm to 7am.

You can't be picky when you are starting out, you have to take what you can get or your will be unemployed for a long time.

I think they can force you... mine do, it's so annoying. As if I need a 15 min paid break and half an hour unpaid break in a 6/7/8 hour shift... what kind of weakling do they think I am!

CIE absolutely sucks. PCA was tolerable, and so was CC1. Think about the first semester as a holiday from having to work hard.... plus it gets you used to the whole uni scene. Once you get further on in the course you kind of start to understand why you had to do those compulsory subjects...

I think online enrolment opens around Nov 15th or so? You do it before next year and it's all online now, unless you are starting your degree next year. They send out emails about it all.
