Re: 2012 USYD Chatter Thread

Thanks Rafy.

Do any of you guys have an idea whether all the newbs flock to Manning & Hermann's in the first few weeks because of the novelty of drinking while learning? I was thinking of catching up with some of my mates there but I recall hearing a couple of years on BoS that it's too busy at the beginning of semester.

It's true. First few weeks of Uni I went there to check it out.

Saw the crowd then thought "nope."

Tip for first years: No need to dress up for uni. Always get a laugh out of spotting first years. They'll be the ones wearing heels.

LMAO! Personally never seen any first years do that, but would be pretty funny

I have a $150 law textbook I will need to purchase for Semester 1. Boy, it's been awhile since I needed to buy something as pricy as that.

I will be bare foot too so it's all good.
I might be hipster for the first day to fit in and make friends, but after that I will wear my trackies and singlets and walk around bare foot.
So much west.

Would I get away with just wearing my converses every day?

yes, that's fine.

Another tip for first years: Make sure you make friends in first semester. Ideally a group of friends. You'll find uni life so so much better. Don't miss the boat. Talk to people in class. Join some clubs and societies.

If you're running around nude with just your converses on. No. I'm pretty sure campus security will tackle you down. trollface.jpg

Serious: Yeah sure, no one really cares about your shoes. Unless you're in Science or Engineering, some labs will require you to have proper shoes. (covered, leather and not sneakers)

Re: 2012 USYD Chatter Thread

Yeh, nobody is really going to care what you are wearing.
