    Likes/Dislikes about UNSW

    Agreed on both. I sprint up Basser steps two at a time these days. UNSW - One of the top universities in Australia has exams in tents

    UNSW Campus

    I love the campus. Really modern architecture and facilities, campus is smaller than USyd but there are a lot of stairs. You get used to them pretty quickly though. Everyone I've met has been really friendly. There are a lot of international students but I've rarely run into into them. Doing...

    2012 campus food guide?

    It's Time for Thai is great. On campus I don't really know that much since I live at UNSW Village and eat mostly in my apartment :) But for coffee the coffee cart next to the library lawn is hands down the best coffee on campus, and their stamp card system is the best one (ten stamps and you can...

    Will I cope in engineering "without" (Physics, Chem ext 2 maths) ???

    No, not well at least. I don't know how they do it in USyd but in UNSW they went through ext2 level stuff like complex numbers in under 2 weeks, as opposed to the 4-6 weeks it took us in year 12. You're gonna have to learn everything from scratch and this will put you at a disadvantage...

    UNSW Subject Reviews.

    I don't know who he or she is. It's possible that they may be doing Phys 1B this semester, as to obtaining them I got them off friends who got them off friends who got them off friends etc. They make their way around, just keep asking around and you might stumble upon it. For now just get a...

    UNSW Subject Reviews.

    There was this person sending out these excel spreadsheets which would calculate all your answers for you. Since in the WebAssign quizzes the values that you needed (also the ones that changed from one person to the other) were highlighted in red, all you had to do was plug in the values and out...

    MATH1141 (Higher Mathematics 1A) Ease: 7/10. Easy in class tests, much harder final exam Content: 7/10. Some of this stuff feels very redundant, like the whole definition of an integral/Riemann sums crap, and Gaussian elimination was tedious as hell, but stuff like hyperbolic functions I found...

    MATH1231 or MATH1241 for 2nd Semester first year?

    I'm a first year doing Civil Engineering with Architecture and am currently stuck choosing between these two subjects. I did MATH1141 this semester and found it ok, Algebra was easy but I find calculus a little more difficult (and some of the stuff seems very pointless). For my current results I...
