Is Adelaide a hole? (1 Viewer)

[priesty]

im from sydney.

thinking about doing med at Adelaide.

how do i get around accomodation? is on-campus good?

is it worth coming to Adelaide tho? like is there a life outside of the university? Or will i be bored every weekend?

*shrug*...

it depends.. cos I have some weeks where im never home..

depends if u get friends i guess...

there is no on-campus... all affiliated colleges are about 20 min walk.

also depends if u can get in.. and the course is now more rigourous than when i started

 

[priesty]

when u say more rigorous u refer to the competition to get in yeh?

i already have a few good friends that do medicine there.... but i guess i was wondering would i have to make my own fun - or is there like a night scene down there? :S i would hate to go down there and be bored for 6 years.

like anywhere.. its up to u to make ure own fun

its more rigourous.. in that there are more contact hrs.. and more work since i started..
there is also more competition with a larger focus on UAI/TERs compared to previous...from wat i heard.. there were more 99+ than ever before last yr..

Adelaide is certainly NOT a hole. Although no where near as populated as Sydney I don't think you will have a difficult time finding things to do each weekend.

Isn't it the opposite actually? Like, instead of just TER, they now have the whole UMAT & interview, no?

I cannot stress how much of a hole Adelaide is. Do whatever you can to avoid going there.

nah they switched the entry criteria as the outcome of total SA doctors did not do well when counting the UMAT and interviews...
