K thnx

Is anyone involved with the MQU Accounting Society (or whatever it's called)? What do these societies even do?

Im technically a member, but I've not gone to an event yet. Society's are basically a good way to sometimes learn skills, but mainly they offer a great networking opportunity. Involvement in them also counts as Extracurriculars, which are often important in landing grad jobs (thats if u get a role in the society).

They host some decent events as well as in for knowledge with industry people that come in such as KPMG. To me though the MUBS seems useless, their parties seem pretty poor to me and its pointless besides the parties.

You can def do tutes in 2 days easily, I could actually go 8 times this sem on two days and rest just as one day as i had all tutes on oen day except one.

Can you a double major in a Science Degree? (E.g. maths and software technology)

EDIT: When it says that a Bachelor of Science can be done externally, does it mean every single unit can be done online and there is no need to go to the campus (even for tutorials)? I've seen that a lot of units aren't offered externally so I'm not sure how this would be possible...

Are all unit lectures streamed online?

MQ looks appealing but it's campus location is soooo bad especially when I'll be commuting from the Central Coast

Lol, wut? How is it bad? Don't we have an express train to Macquarie?

It's not in the CBD like the rest of the unis

Yeah but wouldn't the CBD mean catching 2 trains? Transport is one of the main reasons I prefer Macquarie...

Nah, because it would be Central Coast line to Wynard. You don't catch two trains for Wynyard do you?

 

[Kolmias]

Pretty sure you catch two for MQU. It's Central Coast line then change at Strathfield iirc

I'm pretty sure you do... The train terminates at Strathfield or something. Doesn't it?

Maybe Central and change at Central for City Circle

 

[ilikecats]

From the Central coast line you change at Berowra or Hornsby on a non express train. Express uses the T1 northern Line anyhow.

Your going past Macquarie anyway which is the confusion I'm having. Yes you have to change twice, but you'd transfer at Chatswood most likely. It's at least another 30 minutes on to Central station after Chatswood.

Your not going to Wynyard for sure. Complete wrong end of the city. The UNSW busses and UTS are close to Central, and USYD is walkable from Central or Redfern stations.

WSU's CBD campus is closet to Town Hall or Museum stations.

Do you if there's an express from Woy Woy to Macquarie?

I heard of some 4 stop train that goes to some uni...

Half the answers for the practice tests provided on iLearn are wrong, whether by a few decimals or just silly mistakes. This is for Stats by the way.


Glad I decided to only do the pracs provided... They say units have changed and I didnt think it was worth bothering to be honest, I'll see if it works out I guess but this is seriously pissing me off.

 

[boredofstudiesuser1]

Do the units you've done stay on iLearn or do they disappear when next semester starts?

They do stay there. Some UCs remove the content, but ive found with the vast majority of my units i can access everything even years later.
