    Melbourne Uni Colleges

    Hey, I went to Queen's for 2 years, came from Albury down to Melbourne. They will only look at a student with a UAI (sorry, ATAR for you new kids on the block) of below 90 if you're an exceptional applicant. I didn't hold any leadership roles at high school, but I was one of a few who...

    Melbourne Uni Colleges

    1. Drinking, games, scav hunts, talks, drinking, drinking, more drinking, a bit of scoring. I think you find out if you're into college a few days after you're offered a place in your degree. However, if you deferred from uni to work, and you're already into a course, you may get a place before...

    Melbourne Uni Colleges

    It's nothing that drastic but it isn't as tame as Miner paints it...what college did you go to miner? Our oweek started with sitting in a room in dead silence for 2 hours (if you spoke you got a cold shower & screamed at), fresher 'exams', getting soaked, getting dirty, seeing a bit of...

    Just wondering...

    If you want to do a Bachelor program try the Bachelor of Production at VCA or Design at NIDA. At VCA you design for theatre, dance, opera, sometimes film. NIDA is more theatre orientated. If you want to do a short course, look at the smaller fashion places. If you have lots of money go to...

    Family's reaction to your UAI?

    Lol. That's some hearty emotional blackmail for future use. Back in the day (04) when I found out my UAI I ran out to the kitchen where my parents were waiting and: Me: Mum, Dad, I got 93.65!! Dad: Well Done Mum: Yes! You beat your cousin! Me: *slammed door etc etc* I can...

    Who got jibbed by the Board of Studies in Modern History

    If it happened to other people in your class then the problem was probably with your school assessment tasks. It's your teachers responsibility to not mark you too leniently throughout the entire course. At the end of school assessments, teachers have to appropriately scale your final school...

    Do schools get your HSC mark before you do?

    The principal gets every students HSC mark for each student at 7am. It is up to them what they do with it (i.e. which teachers get given a copy). Some schools give it to every teacher, some schools only give it to heads of department.

    Melbourne Uni - Academic machine?

    I'm discouraging my little sister not to go to Melbourne, despite the fact my older sister and I went through there. She's a different case, she wants to do Media Comm and the arts faculty has gone through the 'shitter' and is now in tatters. All I know about eng at melbourne is it's heavily...

    Re: Top 20 in Course List My definition of a public school: takes everybody and anybody, regardless of ability, background, race or financial situation. Wow. Why am I back on here?

    Uni interviews and piercings

    I went to Queen's for 2 years. It depends who you get for your interview if you want me to brutally honest. They won't prejudice against for having piercings, they couldn't give a poop, but you've got to realise that it's one of the hardest colleges to get into so you'll be wanting to create a...

    melb uni 2007

    I really don't like it when people make assumptions about colleges when they don't talk to people who live there. I live at Queen's College, which is the most Northern college on College Crescent at the University of Melbourne. I love it so much I'm returning for a 2nd year. For a start, they...

    Onstage Nominations

    Teachers at Newtown would be disappointed because they're a performing arts specialist school, getting masses into onstage is the norm for them.

    anyone applying for NIDA (design) atm?

    I think, as I'm experiencing it at the moment, that theatre design should be a degree you study after doing a broad design/art/arts/creative arts/architecture or something degree. It's something I regret not doing.
