    Another Vet Science Thread

    no early offers, but a few late offers are sometimes made if enough people reject / defer their offers. Sometimes the late offers are to broadway scheme students (educational disadvantage scheme).

    Vet Science

    I don't know about getting in these days, but having just finished the course myself, Its a bloody hard course - dont expect to be able to work part time like people in some other degrees are able to, you'll be at uni 40 hours a week and studying your arse off the rest of the time, and you'll...

    Prerequisites for DipEd...?

    has anyone actually applied for a graduate primary course and can tell me how strict they are on fitting subjects into the Key Learning Areas? I have plenty for Science (easily the 2 Full academic years), but my other subjects don't readily fit in. for example i have 7CP worth of Nutrition...

    Veternary Science

    Living in Sydney

    Glebe and Newtown are the most popular, cos they're the closest. Redfern is ok, not as "trendy" as Glebe and Newtown. Annandale is popular too, its a 20 min walk to campus (or get a bus on Paramatta rd).

    Lockers

    vet has lockers and its first come first serve except the 3rd and 4th years get bigger lockers since we have to store all our scrub and post mortem gear as well as our lab coats. For Pharmacy you'll need lab coats frequently, so i'd suggest getting a locker, if only to avois having to...

    Youth allowance etc - all the different schemes out there available to us..

    with the 90 mins thing... it has to be 90 minutes on a train or bus according to the timetable. Centrelink doesn't care that the trains dont run on time, or that its 25 min walk from the station to your classes, or that it takes 30 mins in peak hour traffic to get to the station in the first...

    Youth Allowance and parental income

    i totally sympathise, my family income was over the limit (despite being a single-parent family with 4 kids, and it actually being the Child support that put the income in the "over-the-limit" range... which is stupid) hence my mum couldnt support me at uni (esp with the $600 union fees and all...

    wow, that sucks! I hit it on Pennant hills rd heading North on my way home from work. took 25 mins to travel 150m to the nearest turn where i could scoot through the back streets. I felt sorry for the truckies, but at least they get paid i guess. super sorry for those cars without air-con...

    Can't online enrol

    Re: Online enrolment screwed? You used to have to pay your $600 union fees on the day, but you wont this year. You might choose to join the union on the day for $99, but i think you can do it after enrollment too. I dont know about SRC / Sports union / Building fund, but it should say in...

    No O Camp? :(

    so aside from the obvious alcohol consumption, what do you do for 2-3 days on the camps? did you do it on the weekend of week 3? or were your classes spread out enough to have a few days off during the week? What did you do for food etc? did you camp? like, people bringing theor own tents?

    No O Camp? :(

    did you go during O-week? or before? how many people went? thanks! I'm thinking of suggesting it to my fellow vetsoccers, although we do already do an o-day of our own... i totally would have gone in 1st year though.

    No O Camp? :(

    when I started they had a sleepover in manning during O-Week. If they had a general camp, for everyone, the it'd be for over 6000 students, and you probably would never see most of them again anyway! What degree are you doing? some don't really need a camp, like in Vet, or at the Con, you...

    Can't online enrol

    Not all students can enrol online this year, they're just trialling the system, and hopefully everyone will be able to enrol online in the next year or so, once they've worked out any glitches. Check your paperwork that they send you, to see if you are eligible to enrol online. If not...

    Vet Science or Pharmacy?

    Ok, if your friend doesn't know, then Vet science is not for him. The course is hard, and time consuming, and you need to really want to be there to be able to get through. Also, it's really competitive, and other people will miss out if your friend takes a spot, and if he doesn't really...

    Scholarships - Post Grad

    In vet there's a Postgraduate foundation, maybe other faulties have similar orgs? http://www.vetsci.usyd.edu.au/future_students/postgraduate/index.shtml and they dont all require degrees from that faculty (like to do a vet PhD, you dont necessarily need a vet degree).

    Scholarships - Post Grad

    My Boyfriend got offered one by the Ag faculty, but he didn't get one from the Science and Technology colleges general application, but they told him in his rejection letter that he was ranked 30 out of 77 applicants. (He didn't expect to get one, apparently they are as rare as hens teeth. )...

    ag eco @ usyd

    Its administered by the Ag faculty, but not all of the teaching is done with the other Ag students, (the Ag Eco's sort of disappear... we dont know where they go...) so maybe some of the subjects are run by other faculties. And the classes themselves are all over the place, they are not within...
