    double degree

    Their not necessarily harder, but generally they have a higher cutoff than singles, though in many cases single degrees have higher cutoffs. And does it really matter if it's popular or not?

    Majors/Units of Study

    I'm pretty sure you get 16 subjects for your combined degree, so that gives 4 core + 8 for a major and another 4 electives

    impossible to transfer?

    UAI is not counted for all courses (eg. UNSW commerce), so with decent uni results a transfer is certainly possible

    How Hard Is University?

    Lectures are useful, but not compulsory. Lots of people don't go, but I find them helpful for most subjects (although the business subjects I did had detailed lecture slides provided which made the lectures less useful)

    Blood donation

    I wouldn't worry about fainting, I'm really skinny and I didn't. The ones from my school that did faint were the ones who didn't drink enough water, so make sure you do that.
