That may change in the future though. it'll probably be good to directly ask the uni.
I saw the info in an email sent to all the bachelor of environments students so yeh.
Monash is still a 4 year bachelor course yeh?
Another consideration is that an eng degree at melbourne will now take you minimum of 5 years with 3 year science or environments (civil/environmental eng) and then 2 years masters.
All you need is like 65 academic average in 2nd and 3rd year and ur...
Most masters program used to be full fee paying but I think with the introduction of k.rudd and melb model, most of them have CSP spots now.
Depending on what course you're doing, most masters programs offer around half of their spots as CSP, engineering masters spots are ALL CSP as long as...
No one really touches/looks at your ID card at uni.
You pretty much only use it for accessing locked rooms/buildings, borrowing books with self check-out, printing, etc.
lol there's more than just becoming a lawyer when you do Law.
Engineers are pretty well sought after atm in the engineering and commerce sectors. apparently they have good "thinking skills" so they get hired for businessy jobs.
BUT who wants to do engineering anyway... Bcomm is a lot easier.

I myself hav a dell XPS16 but I do archi so I sacrificed a bit of portability for (a lot) more grunt.
If you're getting a laptop for note taking (ie. you're lazy) just get one of those...
If you're doing a course like architecture or some engineering ones don't bother with a Mac thinking you can run programs off bootcamp.
They'll struggle unless you're getting the higher spec ones. Macs are only fast when you're running os x or watever :(
If you don't know anyone...be prepared for some awkward silence moments while you wait outside a lecture theatre for your class.
and you'll be looking around desperately trying to find someone you know.
andddd you'll probably see someone from high skool you didn't really like but you still talk...
Because we're moving into a world where computers>everything. clients pay architects by the number of hours they spent on the project, who are often given ridiculous deadlines. so everyone wants everything to be done fast.
Also you don;t reaaaally need a lot of maths in the real world...
lol come on 50 minutes? There'd be way more people that have to travel heaps longer than that. 50min is nothing.
but with the tutes. some subjects they mark the roll, some don't. And like, for example Arts subjects' tutes are pretty useless but you do have some nice discussions/debates...
Hope you're prepared to be bored shitless.
This is coming from an archi (envi) background doing finance subject as breadth though.. so its completely opposite to my interests lol.
