    Away from home Uni Students

    It's called Youth Allowance. And it's closer to $17000 that you have to earn in 18 months to get it. www.centrelink.gov.au for more info. I go to uni for 11 hours a week, which is full time study for my course. Working 15 hours a week still leaves me with so so so much time!!!! I have...

    Great places to eat and fun things to do near UTS

    Nothing worse than a warm milkshake or iced choc/coffee.... I've been once and I didn't think it was that great. I can cook better spag bol or basic pasta for cheaper than I can buy it there, and it doesn't take much effort to cook. It's only a little bit further to walk to the supermarket...

    School friends vs. Uni friends

    I think you guys came down pretty hard on hipsta jess, she never made any negative judgements! She just said that more private school people probably have rich parents than public school people.... which is a fair enough assumption really due to privates being on average a lot more...

    Home and Away

    How in god's name did Seb and Jade survive?? Was Jade supposed to have been in the water? How the hell does someone tread water for 2 days after being thrown out of a car and then get washed up on the beach alive? And Seb, how is he alive? He wasn't even in the car!!! He fell of a cliff...

    Strange Bedfellows

    I saw it tonight, it was pretty cool, Yackandandah is almost as pretty on the big screen as it is in real life. It made me laugh so hard.... in the film they have used the main street of Albury as a Sydney street! lol.... it so doesn't look like Sydney, but I guess that's because I know it is...

    It Has Begun

    That's interesting because I thought that the number of HECS places would be decreasing.... considering that unis will be able to up full fee places to I think it was something like 30% of enrolments, I didn't think there would be a larger number of HECS places... where did u hear this? I...

    It Has Begun

    Actually it is pretty much compulsory if you want to do certain careers..... ohne, I don't think the reforms will help... in my eyes, the reforms will just be an excuse for the government to take money away from the tertiary sector and spend it on other areas like military... justifying this...

    is UTS the tallest UNI in australia?...

    I thought the colorblind designer picked out the color for the UTS emblem! Maybe he was just a busy colorblind designer... Have you looked at this week's tidbit in the diary? "Did you know that you can become irresistable by touching the Broadway sandstone sculpture?" Oh.... I've...

    Referees

    Well, most of them don't ring them. I think it's enough just to have them on your resume. They are more interested in actual skills and whether you are a person who will follow instructions and get along with the rest of the staff.

    Referees

    You could also use teachers from outside of school eg drama/dance/music teachers as well as sports coaches. Or if you have done any volunteering for any groups I'm sure they would go as a referee.
