    Is commerce at USYD or law at Macquarie more likely to lead to success?

    It's important to remember that securing a good job (I'm assuming 'good' here means financially secure) is more than just marks. A huge number of graduates get solid marks, so one of the best ways to distinguish yourself from other graduates is your extra curriculars. Perhaps if you're...

    Timey Wimey: Doctor Who discussion thread

    Love Dr Who so much. Under the Lake was creepy and I'm looking forward to the next episode but I hope this whole season isn't a bunch of double episodes. Moffat is a good showrunner but sometimes lets his ego get in the way and goes a little OTT with some of the concepts. Still pissed off...

    Dropping out of uni altogether?

    I would very strongly encourage you to talk to someone. Your uni is bound to have a counselling/psychological assistance team who are there to support students, especially when it comes to mental health and study. They may be able to help you with some techniques to manage your anxiety while you...

    USYD Chatter Thread

    Re: Semester 2 USYD Chatter Thread guys, what do we think of VERGE this year? I think the program is looking great and kinda keen to go to a bunch of the events. Also, as a little self promo, I'm the manager for this - a 25hr radio broadcast, no sleep, with a tonne of special guests and you...

    Should I apply for special consideration?

    if you are still sick, apply for special consideration. If you recovered quickly, do the quiz later in the week.

    Does anyone know where the Manning Sunken Lawn is?

    If you're walking from the quad down manning road to manning house, then it's the lawn area directly in front of you (the road curves around slightly to the right). There are some stairs down and they lead to a swinging door entrance to the bottom level of manning house. Alternately, if you...

    How was your experience at USYD?

    Don't call rolls in lectures. You've got hundreds of people in there and they're often not compulsory (some people prefer to listen to recordings of lectures) so don't bother taking a roll.

    How was your experience at USYD?

    Have you tried visiting each? And on a day other than Open Day? That will help give you a feel for the atmosphere. And if you sneak into a big lecture, they won't know you're not a uni student. edit: I'm a massive usyd fangirl. And to be perfectly honest, I now work full time at the uni as...

    is an ACCESS card worth it??

    Personally, I love the access card. I'm part of a couple of clubs though, and on the exec for 1 so it's necessary for me to have one in that capacity. I tend to buy lunch once a week and the odd bit of stationary which all adds up. I also live in glebe so the off campus benefits are a bonus...

    What's the worst overtime of class you have experienced?

    You know you can just leave, right? Most of my classes go overtime, but we relocate to the pub.

    Re: Semester 2 USYD Chatter Thread Still need some hair? Mine's particularly luscious atm. Absolute WORST to navigate. I'm trying to teach students how to use it to find support services and half the time just end up suggesting they google. The looping of that guy with the nice butt...

    How was your experience at USYD?

    Absolutely USyd has a nice atmosphere. Lots of great open spaces and friendly people and good environment to study in. Lecturers vary. I've had some absolutely wonderful ones, and some painfully average ones. You can't generalise an entire university based on something like lecturers, who are...
