    Email not working?

    Yeah, same problem with me... I had originally thought that they weren't ready for incoming students but guess I'll go ahead and contact IT services now. EDIT: ACTUALLY, problem solved: 1. change your UniKey p/w @ http://itassist.usyd.edu.au/staff/account/password.shtml 2. Wait 15 min for...

    Med or Combined Law more difficult to get into?

    You are severely misguided, my friend. 1. If a person were to do the most common pathway into graduate medicine, they will usually do a B. Medical Science /Adv. Science (Acer doesn't give preference to the type of UG degree in the medicine selection process but it gives the candidate an upper...

    Parramatta Campus Parking

    Parking is CRAZY at parra that they have these parking officers re-routing people to the north parra campus to help alleviate the chaos. ALL the times that I've been told to go to Nrth Parra, there were NEVER any parking places. That's the reason why I schedule most of my classes after 1pm -...

    BBC Students who have failed Basic Maths Skills Test "Advice"

    They encourage you to enrol in all planned units for the entire year primarily for planning purposes, but you can enrol into a unit up until the 2 week of the semester, I believe.

    Rules r/e enrollment

    Hi there, As a full time student, I have enrolled into the standard full-time study load of 4 units/semester. I was thinking about dropping to just 1 unit for this semester only before census date (due to certain circumstances - working to make some $$). My Q(s): is this allowed? Does MQ...

    Macquarie O Week

    I can't wait. I'm going to sign up for a lot of clubs/societies. What's the avg. membership fee like?

    How to get to macquarie uni via train

    If you live in Parra, there should be a bus that takes you to North Ryde and possibly may even dump you out in front of MQ uni via Victoria Rd (better to verify this, first).

    How to get to macquarie uni via train

    If the closest station is Stratty, then it's quite simple. Take the Central Coast / Newcastle line, or the Northern line to Epping. Switch trains at Epping (platform 5 - underground) and the next stop should be MQ uni rail station.

    Why is going to top-tiered universities like Harvard or MIT etc so difficult?

    It's not hard to get into these ivy leagues if 1) Your family is OMGWTF rich (these institutions are whores for endowments), or 2) One of your parents/grandparents attended the institution or other ivy leagues previously ( you're a legacy and considered 'one of them'). Otherwise, you have to...

    Anyone wanting to get in B Policing at UWS?

    Puh-leaze. Stop trolling. :shoot: It'll inspire a lot more confidence to have more police offers who have had life exp. and a degree under their belt, rather than 18/19 year olds patrolling the streets.

    Any point transferring from UWS Law to MQ Law?

    Actually, I'm inclined to agree with rajputsingh somewhat. Being around slackers and bludgers detracted from my university experience quite significantly. I want to be around hard-working, diligent, and bright people who will help alight my competitive spirit and help foster ideas. Of course...

    +1 Engineering = veritable sausage fest.

    Is chivalry dead? Or just in hiding?

    I guess what I'm implying is that one cannot have their cake and eat it. Chivalry is such an archaic notion IMO. In this day and age, women can certainly value charming and considerate men, but they definitely shouldn't expect it.

    So I like this girl...

    I think it's pretty much safe to say that she hates your guts, and/or does not return your feelings. My advice: ignore her for the time being. Pretending that everything is normal will look regrettably contrived. She needs to see that you've lost interest in her before things can go out of the...

    Is chivalry dead? Or just in hiding?

    This is what you get when you ask for equality.
