Social Life (2 Viewers)

[brad616]

This is going to sounds like a really ridiculous question but seeing it is of such extreme importance I think it is worth talking about. My question is this which is better having a really good social life during the HSC (and not giving 100%) or studying really hard and not having a social life. i.e going to a really prestigous school and having no friends or going to an academically weak school but having a lot of good friends. Just a quick thought... perhaps the secret is to have a balance of both (but for some of us for whatever reasons this is hard to accomplish)

Clearly a balance is desired, but it depends what you want as your outcome. If you need a 99.8 to get into the uni course you really want, then your better off going to the academically gifted school with less friends. You can always make friends when you get to uni. However, if you only need a lower mark, or don't want to go to uni at all, then having a greater social life is more beneficial. Purely for the fact that you can enjoy your HSC time that way.

But for me, I have a social life of 0

its soo sad.... :rofl:

But I have friends, socialize with them sometimes... I'd rather have good results now and then a good social life later on, because you can still get your degree with 51% in UNI but you cant get into uni with a 50 UAI...

Sometimes thats very difficult to do especially if your at an all boys/girls school or a selective school or have a strange/difficult year

Aha ok.

Having a balance is ideal. Even if you try and just study all the time, you'll probably procrastinate anyway. I know i do =="

ITT: USyd has higher UAI cutoffs for Combined Law and Aeronautical and Space Engineering. Also I have an active social life and I'm doing fine. You'd rather socialize but not in class when it's work time. Other than that go for it.

 

[oly1991]

i can't imagine going through my last year of school without friends although i agree with having a balance.

which is why i dont have my heart set on a particular uni.
cos i know im only going to end up upsetting myself if i dont get it.
