    Just left school... what to do next?

    Ok, there are a couple of other options than what your careers advisor has outlined: Do the HSC at TAFE and either continue with your old subjects or pick brand new ones (you won't lose any time that way). If you take this option then perhaps North Sydney TAFE would be the best for you as it...

    What's the most popular genre people are writing in?

    To be honest, there is only one thing I'd warn you to be careful of: teen angst & romance. Otherwise, just make sure that any stereotyping you use is intentional and with meaning (which is where genuine research comes in) and you'll be fine. For what its worth, while there may be similar...

    Homosexuality in Australia

    The concept of marriage was altered so that people could become divorced - one can argue that this is as big (or bigger) a change than allowing same-sex marriage as 'till death do us part' is a rather integral part of what it means to be married. And what problem exactly is there with a gay...

    The Abortion Debate (continued)

    bshoc, is your computer dead or alive? Then why do you (or the foetus) have the right to dictate what a free woman may do with her body? Why is that exactly? This wasn't adressed toward me, however I thought it important to point out that being pro-choice does not neccesarily mean you even...

    Need help choosing where to study (I live in California)

    Of the ones you've listed, I'd probably reccomend University of Wollongong (UOW) because it apparently has an excellent writing program as well as a nice campus, probably cheaper to live at than the ones nearer the metro - bit isolated from the sydney night life though. University of New South...

    Waste of time going really...

    ^ I totally agree with the above. It totally depends on your degree (and university for that matter) as to how much debt you'll incur - for example LLB/BMedSci at UTS will cost you waaaaaay more than a BA or BCA at MQ/UOW. Another thing to remember is that uni doesn't just give you a...

    Back doors to BEd Primary

    Well at a glance...: transfers from a degree w. a lower cut-off than BEd(Primary) - maybe Primary Ed at UTS/ACU/MQ/UOW or a different course at USYD. TAFE Diploma in Childcare (or similar) then apply to BEd(Primary) HSC Pathways/TPC Do a BA (with certain subjects) and then do MTeach(Primary)...

    hospitality at ryde or ultimo?

    I would most likely pick Ultimo if only because of transport reasons - every line goes to central + there are express trains and all that jazz. Ryde on the other hand is a little bit more difficult to get to (though this depends on where you're from of course).

    TAFE to UNI > Mid-year App offers! HELPPP!!

    He may be eligible, but the competition will be very fierce as a Certificate IV does not 'scale' as high as say a Diploma. It may also be a good idea for your cousin to sit the STAT with his Certificate IV or submit a Personal Statement depending on the uni as that may help.

    BIT Application Questions

    Well considering there is a questionnaire and an interview for this course, then I would not take the UAI as a definitive measure of whether you can get in or not. Any extra-curricular/work/computing things you have done will probably influence whether you get in as well - not to mention the...

    Interracial relationships

    I don't have a problem w. interracial relationships, especially since the only difference with someone of another race is that they look a little different - which sometimes is quite attractive. I imagine though, that a big enough cultural gap could make a relationship difficult in some areas...

    If only gay sex caused global warming...

    Personally I found this to be interesting - are we really so caught up in the moral panics of today that we don't deal with the big issues of tommorow?

    B Laws

    I don't do the degree, but I can tell you by looking at the UTS site that most law subjects are in lecture --> tute form, apart from legal research in which you do sessions in the computer lab then go for tutorials. Also, in first year of the straight LLB you only do 3 subjects a semester as...

    Dear Sexy & Oh Wise Men of Bos~ I am in Need of Your Advice

    I'd definitely prefer the bridge climb, its exciting and even if its not his most favourite thing then at least you are spending the day together (thats the plan non?) doing something that neither of you has probably done before. You could probably throw in a nice restaurant dinner as well if...

    Journalism

    I think what Bustin Justin is suggesting is that it would be better to do a BA or BEcon etc which follows up on various interests that your girlfriend holds and then do a Masters in Journalism to learn how to apply journalistic skills to those areas. I don't know if I've said this earlier...

    Everything Science Fiction

    I adore sci-fi as well, one series that particularly stand out for me is Dune; I just loved the idea of humanity evolving socially and biologically to replace machinery(mentats, reverend mothers, navigators etc.), I also love the way we get an almost anthropological look at the different...
