Hi there, there is a lot of information in the sticky section if you look through it. Basically, to get in you still use an entrance rank but this is altered by your tertiary study. If you have done one year of full time study then your GPA is turned into a rank equivalent and then averaged...

Hey can anyone here who goes to New England just give me a run down on what its like? What's life like in Armidale? What kind of things do you do for fun? Is it a very studenty town? Are there many recreation facilities? Is there more than just getting drunk? What is it like living in a town...

My Philosophy book costs me $80 and is written by the lecturer. That kind of annoys me. I mean he says he wrote it especially for this course (he has been teaching for like 40 years) but why would it cost $80? Its like our fees are paying the lecturer, and with our limited extra money we are...

I would make a list of everything that you are going to spend money on. Budget a little too much for everything. So if rent is 100 - 150 Budget 150 or 160. Work out all your rent for the year. Then add in power, gas, phone and water (if the place charges water). Be a little generous. I would do...

I don't know. I guess it depends on what kind of transfer you are doing. I mean if you are transferring into a first year course then I imagine you would have the same UAI entrance, but your UAI would be altered because of your GPA (if you have been studying for a year). I would imagine (but...

I remember in Primary school the books had a little yellow sticker on them which meant they were restricted to year 5 and 6 only. Although, they were just kept on the back wall in the library. So in Library sessions we used to get Dead of the Night, and pass it around to read the sex scene. We...

I looked up the Usyd course and was getting heaps excited. Though I did mini calculations and there is no way that I will get in. :( I'm sad now. I probably won't get in anywhere decent. I'm not smart enough/too lazy.

Hi, I know there have been some similar questions on here but anyway I have a few. I'm doing a straight BA (Sociology, Philosophy) now and the more I study the more I realise that I want to get into the practical side of things more so than the theoretical. I want to do a job that sort of...

Based on ANU's policy, you can only take a year of program leave. Deferal is when you 'defer' for a year or other time frame before starting your course. I believe DNF is 'Discontinued not failed' or something similar. I think this has no academic penalty, and therefore does not effect your...

Its caught not catched, sorry I get obsessive. Hope you get in, but I guess that you may have to wait until your next results come out.

I think thats fine. In fact i'd be all for smoking in cars being illegal. I mean takes up one hand, stinks and they aren't healthy. Driving a manual one should have use of two hands in case of accident/emergency. Also, many of my friends smoke in their cars and while i ask them not to...

Its usually much more fun and cleaner and nicer working in a cafe rather than fast food or checkouts. Bookshop or video store would be good, but they can be hard to get. Bakeries often look for staff, and libraries often have jobs where you can put all the books back. If you play sports...

Mmm I guess Surrey Hills and Darlinghurst can have its dodgy streets and characters, good locations though. And you can sometimes pick up a place with decent rent. I lived in Glebe for a bit and that was pretty fun, close to Broadway and the city, as well as Usyd and TAFE. Bond can be a...

My advice to you. You're not going to get your own house. Practically no real estate will lend to an unemployed, or part time employed student. They just don't. Nor do they rent to share houses usually. I moved to Sydney when I was 17 and the only way I got accommodation was by moving...

I'm like opposite to you. I'm at ANU and going over to Uni of Otago for a bit, and I can get Studylink which is good. There is no way I would be able to afford it without it. I've program leave from ANU though in case I change my mind. I don't think that there is much you can do...

They probably covered this is a tutorial i missed, but anyway, when are our final marks released on ISIS? Is it different for each subject or is it just a set day?

Bachelor of Arts :) Hopefully majoring in Sociology.

Hey, I need to hire a car to move stuff from Canberra to Sydney, and then I am leaving the country for a bit. I don't need a big car or anything but I am having heaps of trouble finding a rental car agency that will rent out a car to someone under 21. Does anyone know of any agency that has...

I looked at it vaguely earlier this year as more of a distant possibility. I am a EU Citizen as well as Australian and if I were an ordinary European/British resident then I would only have to pay local fees but if you are not an ordinary resident then you are subjected to the international...

I dropped out in year 11 (I'm in the ACT system) and lived in Sydney for a year then came back to Canberra and did half of year 11 and all year 12 at CIT in one year. You do the bare minimum like 3.5 majors, but you are still doing year 11 and 12 in one year. I took an English major from my...
