    Not being multi-talented person

    lol. Pardon me I just found that funny :D:D:D Relax dude, they don't care too much about it so long as you are confident in an interview and you don't look retarded. These high-pay scholarships are funded by industry and these companies want healthy down-to-earth people who can communicate...

    Not being multi-talented person

    for scholarships, yes, but as with any interview, as long as you can talk well you can get through - even convince them you're a athlete and social worker. and yes silly you can talk about any activities you participated in prior to any interview. :D Was there another question? Edinburgh.

    Uni Students Best Opinions

    If you are set on computer science, I wouldn't recommend USYD. Though if its because the cut-off at usyd is lower then so be it. I can't really remember, but doesn't UTS consider EAS applications 7 marks under the cut-off as opposed to 5 at unsw and usyd? If so, try for maths and computing or...

    Different question on deferment

    Yes I know people from several unis that have deferred for a semester. However, some subjects may only be offered in either autumn or spring semester so you may have to mix n match subjects (do some in advance, postpone others etc). You'd want to check your subjects' availability otherwise...

    Full fees for one in three students ... what do we think?

    thats not what i said jackass. Use some of that wit when reading simple implications. Melbournian you're being as ignorant of others' cases as they are of yours. Not every fee payer or international student is loaded. Some struggle so much financially that they're here squeezing 8 ppl into...

    Full fees for one in three students ... what do we think?

    Double degrees/Combined degrees

    No, not like that. You have to complete all the required subjects and say, two majors. The only way you will finish earlier is by doing more than the normal load of subjects per semester or by getting subjects exempt (for eg. you've done a similar subject already or have had experience in that...

    Work + School

    Most courses fall into 11-21 hour weeks and have an easy workload first year (2nd and even 3rd in some cases). The greatest exceptions are courses that focus on a science profession. 15 hours is easy. Though chance may have it that your work schedule coincides with your friends' free time :O...

    Any1 doing Bachelor of Commerce at Usyd or UNSW

    UTS just calls the degree a bachelor of business instead of commerce. Same shit. Travel was a big for me cuz I'm a lazy hoe. UTS is convenient though I still think there should be a monorail that picks me up at central. Also the numerous happyhours per week affected my decision. Who needs...

    Philosophy

    I've skimmed through this thread and I'm proud to see ppl discussing this topic. I've noticed however that alot of you assume too much and forget to free your mind of any "facts" or "truths". Remember the uncertainty and that theres always multiple view points. You could start with the simplest...

    if courses are not liked / transferring

    For an internal course transfer (diff course, same uni), u usually need atleast a credit average to even try. Places are awarded to the best performing applicants as usual. To change to a similar course at a different uni you can go to the corresponding faculty and apply. The other option is to...
