It isn't just about Asians. I would say the same thing if they came from South America, Europe, Africa or even North America (Quebec anyone?). If you don't know English (written and spoken), you should not be allowed to enrol. I had a Dutch person in one of my tutorials last year, and she...

And get half as much done as you would have? This is Australia, the language of this nation is English and to participate fully one should be able to speak it, especially in academic institutions.

True, but they're not exactly from Singapore either. I am wondering whether uSyd or UNSW tests these international students for English proficiency? Both written and oral.

It isn't racist as I don't hate Asians. But it is quite difficult to participate in a tutorial where the majority of the students cannot understand English. How can you have a group discussion about something? And I am not talking about the Asians who were born in Australia, because even they...

I tried counting the amount of white people in the classes, I could count them on 1 hand (me included). UNSW is worse, my dad works there.

Oh mate, I used to sit in economics lectures in the Merewether building. I'm not the only one who has abandoned Tokyo Techie v.2 (UNSW is v.1).

You guys still don't have online enrolments?

I'm doing Journalism this year as well. Ill be doing first year subjects as I got credited for hardly anything.

Marketing = :eek: .

I pay 83.33 per week off-campus. And it all comes down to whether a person wants stable employment during most of the year. If a person leaves during xmas, they won't be employed again. Thats for sure. I am sure there is a blacklist at the Bathurst chamber of commerce or some other place lol.

The bad reputation stems from uni students going home during the holiday periods, especially around Easter and Christmas, when businesses need all the hands they can get. If a person does get a job interview, you should tell the employer you're available around the holiday seasons, and be...

Re: A Guide to UWS That avatar is disgusting.

The Good Guys in Bathurst have some cheap laptops! I think around the $600 range.

Kind of a question you should ask of someone in the School of Policing Studies. Check this site out: http://www.csu.edu.au/faculty/arts/policing/staff.html Email the head of the school.

Get yourself an RSA (Responsible Service of Alcohol) certificate so you can work in the bar. Also a Bar Service Skills certificate would probably help as well.

Feel free to add me on MSN: matt83au@hotmail.com I don't know much about on-campus accommodation, but other things I do know a bit about.

Yes it does, I mean its just an IP network and all. See: http://www.csu.edu.au/division/dit/student/resnet/index.htm

Im trying to score a job on-campus this year, just because the pay rate is so good (compared to downtown jobs).

Yeah, what is the student pay rate? $22 an hour?

No, more. The market rate. I have asked AARNet and they say that the universities don't pay that much to warrant charging students these rates.
