    MQ General chatter thread

    Re: MQ General chatter and timetables thread (+ Conception Day!) Yes, often I do. This semester two of my three subjects required two textbooks, in fact one needed 2 texts plus a reader.

    what is so bad about UWS?

    All that really means is from a supply and demand point of view, fuelled by prestige etc. Of course people will chose UNSW, ANU, USYD etc over UWS etc but that does not mean the university is bad. Sure they have problems but they are all reputatable institutions. Also comparing Tafe with uni...

    what is so bad about UWS?

    I agree there are some downsides but most of the people here don't even mention them, rather just mouth off. I guess the moral is either state your reasons or face the possibility that you will be accused of mouthing off baseless claims. All I hope for is that the HSC kids get a chance to see...

    MQ General chatter thread

    Re: MQ General chatter and timetables thread (+ Conception Day!) Meh, I have no sympathy. I generally have to buy more than one book per subject and they are usually at least $100 each. $500 for books is a cheap semester.

    UNSW vs UWS Law

    Its mainly a perception thing. UWS is a newer university and is often seen as of a lower standard. I've been there and know people who still go there and while they have a great practical program and are working their students hard to be better regarded a lot of employers are don't know much...

    MQ General chatter thread

    Re: MQ General chatter and timetables thread (+ Conception Day!) 80 pages/per week/per subject is nothing really. In my law subjects I have 100-150+/per week/per subject. Of course Ancient History involves a lot of reading, how else would you learn it, its not like its maths based and...

    what is so bad about UWS?

    Yes, but at least I have said that I am comparing MQ and UWS AND talking about UWS in it's own right. Most of the prior posts dint even compare it, they just say how crap UWS. Gooduck to the OP, hope you aren't scared off. So sick of these threads, nothing good comes out of them, all you get is...

    Suggestions for high-protein diet?

    Your mate is really impressive, I think its great, all I am saying is that a lot of people don't have that self control and in the long run it wont hurt to learn to eat junk in moderation, its a good general life skill

    what is so bad about UWS?

    Dude, because I really care about what some bored posted on BOS said who probably know nothing about UWS, my comments were at least more constructive than"UWS is not a good unviersity. Pretty Simple...";) After all at least I know my comments are based on my own experiences and I do actually...

    what is so bad about UWS?

    Its really not as bad as people say and generally those who comment negatively about UWS on here: 1. Have yet to go to university (i.e. a HSC kid with no idea other than what they have heard others say) 2. Haven't been there (and go to another uni and think they are experts as a result) 3...

    Suggestions for high-protein diet?

    This is a much better idea. Your body absorbs vitamins better from food! I'd throw in a few low gi carbs too. As for this 'cut out all junk food' comment that is above. I don't always agree, yes you should limit junk food as much as possible, denying yourself completely usually ends in...

    Summer clerkships 2009/2010

    A week from tomorrow offers will be made. After all the posts and threads I am confused where everyone is at. Who is still in the game and who are you still in the running with? Also who had accepted offers? In the running: *Slater and Gordon (I think) *Lander and Rogers Out of the...

    Summer clerkships 2009/2010

    Thats so weird, when was your interview? They told me there was a second round but they seemed confused. HR has told me that they would notify of second rounder interviews but that was 2 weeks ago. I believe they will be notifying of offers in accordance with the official scheme i.e. 9th Oct...

    what should I do? science->med or economics?

    Just be wary that this attitude may prevent you from getting into medicine. Why let something as arbitary and stupid as prestige stop you from getting into the course you want straight away. There are a lot of if's and uncertainties about the other routes. If you don't expect to improve on the...
