Does anyone know why E7B was evacuated today? Actual fire or just typical dodgy alarm system?

Reddit was saying something actually triggered it in a lab for once (ie. Someone didn't just walk though a fire door during exams)

Macquarie University train station upgrade announcement

The Minister for Transport, The Hon Andrew Constance MP, has announced that Macquarie University train station will be closed from 30 September 2018 for around seven months to enable conversion to the new Sydney Metro Northwest.

Sydney Metro Northwest will enable train travel for the population of Sydney’s northwest corridor from Rouse Hill to Chatswood and, most importantly, will stop at Macquarie University station. This will mean a better-connected train service to the University, with trains every four minutes during peak times.

During this time, the University will be supported by the new Station Link public transport network. Station Link will provide high frequency, turn-up-and-go services to stations between Epping and Chatswood across seven new routes. The services will be run using more than 120 new, fully accessible, air conditioned buses.

During the busiest parts of the day there will be a service at least every six minutes, with 110 services per hour. Station Link will include a dedicated high frequency service to Macquarie University campus from Epping Station. In addition, Transport for NSW will increase the capacity on existing bus routes supporting the University.

The University has been working closely with Transport for NSW in the lead up to this announcement, ensuring there is adequate public transportation to the University and Macquarie Park district during the closure.

Should you have any concerns about the closure or would like further information, please get in touch with the Macquarie University Station Upgrade Project Team at transport@mq.edu.au, or visit the Transport for NSW project website.

Services to MQ Campus include the direct service mentioned, as well as services going via the campus (Beecroft to St Leonards, St Leonards to MacParl, Eastwood to MacPark and Epping to MacPark)


Most of these new services only run Monday to Friday, but the Epping to Chatswood direct service is on weekends also.

They don't seem mention that these 110 extra buses will be on the carpark we call Epping Rd ?

Is it really not mid semester break? They advertised free parking across campus for starters, and I really don't want some shitty first year couple ruining my stereotypical lake photo. Uh

The new barriers where the centeral court yard probably will decrease the potential of first year couples to interrupt though...

Well if its Midsemester break I question why I have to attend compulsory classes

 

[ilikecats]

Ah yeah I haven't seen the central courtyard (might be a bit ofna suprise to all the graduating students today).

I wonder what they'll do about lectures/other classes in thr building formally known as e7b? I can see it now: They cal my name and an entire lecture of isys100 kids comes pouring out

Walking around campus really dressed up is such a strange feeling

Proper congradulations! How were the speeches? Nice and boring ?

Thank you!

The speeches weren't too bad overall. It was quite a long ceremony so it got a bit draining by the end (had early lunch because I had to be there by 1 and once you factor in getting ready and travel time it sucked).

Highlights included discovering what's in the random cupboard in E7B (it's an organ and by god is it loud) and thankfully there are no stairs involved so no tripping!

I got to be a special snowflake during the ceremony. If anyone feels like being a stalker it's pretty easy to figure out who I am and you can view me in all my awkwardness

 

[ilikecats]

Oh oh, and you get to keep the hat!

Hey guys, has anyone done math123? I've only done general in highschool but i see that its recommended to complete math123 before i start finance1b. I heard its extremely difficult for someone who has only done general and that the lecturers don't explain very well. Also, I'm scared to go for it as i heard it can ruin my gpa if im not dedicated enough as I will find it very challenging. Can I get more opinions on this? Thank you!

 

[Zoinked]

it wont help for finance 1b. Finance 1b uses similar maths to 1a, its just a lot harder. The calculus and all that u learn in math123 isn't present AT ALL in finance 1b. Just suck it up and do it, your units are only gonna get harder
