    Army Reserve

    So I'm considering joining the army reserve at some point during my degree to earn a bit of money and do something different with my life, have some cool experiences, become a more disciplined and fit person etc. Has anybody here done both the reserves and uni at the same time? If so, how...

    First Year I.T. subjects

    Has anyone done Applications Programming and Network Fundamentals (not essentials) and are able to tell me a bit about them? I've read the descriptions in the handbook, but I would like to hear from people's experiences with the subjects. I've heard that the network fundamentals is really hard...

    Leaving UTS... worth it or nah?

    Ok to clarify, again soz for essay: My first preference is to study CS, but if I can't get in at UNSW I'm happy doing med sci because I enjoy that side of science - in actuality I've been torn between science (bio/med) and computing for the past 2-3 years and I still don't fully know what...

    Leaving UTS... worth it or nah?

    Soz for the essay but… I moved from UNSW Science to UTS Games Dev in Semester 1 this year but have so far been unimpressed by their teaching methods. While I coasted through this semester and still did surprisingly well, I’m not sure how difficult future semesters will be. I also checked course...

    CS & IT degrees worth it at UTS?

    Yeah, I think it is new. I was looking at transferring at the beginning of the year and they were like "oh yeah we expect the cut off to be above 90" and i was like lol um nvm. im kinda surprised it's actually that low, i actually would've got in. even though I haaaaated math last year and i...

    CS & IT degrees worth it at UTS?

    nah i haven't bc i'm in first year and also I'm not doing BScIT, I've just had to do all the core IT subjects for this semester as part of my degree. I didn't even realise you could drop the diploma. Like the whole professional practice thing was the reason i didn't pick the IT degree in the...

    CS & IT degrees worth it at UTS?

    tbh UNSW has a LOOOOT of international students. sometimes i'd wonder if there were more international students than local students and a lot of them have terrible english too so @OP wherever you go, you'll have to deal with international students. and as much as i've dissed the teaching at...

    CS & IT degrees worth it at UTS?

    no worries! I had initially started a biotechnology degree but wasn't enjoying it as much as i thought i would (and the chemistry and math at UNSW were like death for me) and I was really conflicted as I wanted to something more like animation or programming. So i decided to change to games...

    CS & IT degrees worth it at UTS?

    Yo, I currently go to UTS and previously went to UNSW (idk whether 1 semester of experience at UTS will be any help though). Also, I thought comp sci at UTS is 4 years as they have an integrated honours year? I can speak more for IT as I've had to do all the IT core subjects this semester but I...
